I'm thinking of makeing an order for a toile kelly (or birkin) and I was wondering if it's difficult to maintain. I mean, if it gets dirty and what you think about it.

I would also love to know which are the colors you can get.

Could you please post some pictures and tell me your experiences?

Thanks:flowers:

the color of the toile or the color of the leather?

The whitish toile is prone to color transfer in my experience. The first time I used my toile Trim, I was wearing a navy silk sweater and there was a subtle blue tinge to areas of the toile from using it that one day. I have read on this forum that H Spa can clean the toile very well but have had no first hand experience since I have yet to take my Trim to Spa.

I SOed a military olive toile bag and that is holding up nicely.

I am a slob and I personally would only SO color toile bags even tho the regular natural toile is so classic.
 
No, this is the price of a toile birkin in the hands of a reseller. I believe toile birkins are the same price as regular leather birkins.
what a rip-off! the same price for half the leather? it might be hermès but canvas is canvas. i'm not really a fan of the toile and leather bags but i'm even less of a fan now that i know they're the same price as the all leather ones.
 
I really need one!

I would never buy this kind of birkin from a reseller. I think I would like to be the first one to touch it:heart:
 
I remember i saw a black and toile kelly 32 in H Madison two summers ago. Too bad i dedn't get it!

How about the red toile with black stripe? Is it difficult to get it? Is it a SO?
Are toile in general SO?

Just remember that there is also more labor involved in making these toile bags because of the use of two materials. when I bought them years ago, my toile bags were $400 less than the all leather ones but when I was in Europe this summer, I saw a toile Birkin 35 for 5150 euro and i believe an all Clememce Birkin 35 is 5200 euros?

Yes, I do agree that toile bags should be a little more less than the all-leathers but since when is H ever fair regarding prices? <shrugs>
 
I've been having the same thoughts about a toile Kelly. I have never seen one in real life though... love these

They are gorgeous. One is on my must have for my collection list. I am a bit hesitant tho because the bottom is not all leather but mostly toile/canvas. Like seton, I should probably go for the military olive.

there is also jean toile and black toile. I was thinking of doing of placing an order of black barenia/black toile but I was afraid it was gonna be mistaken for a Herbag so i didnt.:sad:
 
I'm tough on bags but caved when I saw a toile and ebene evercalf Kelly. It hasn't had a lot of wear, but I don't baby it and it looks fine. I was told that toile cleans well. I love that look and am yearning for a gold and toile 30 Birkin.
