Can someone pls tell me, what swift leather is? Is it textured like epsom, togo, etc. or is it smooth like calfbox? Is it heavy, stiff, what does it smell like (ie. strong smell??), and so on.
Umm, so what is swift?

Oooh, that is a beauty! Thanks archangel for the descripton and pic! So, is it like Chamonix? Is Swift a new leather type?
Thanks, Duna! Only I've never seen Gulliver, lol! But I'm beginning to get an idea of what Swift is like!
hi, swift leather is a quite similar in texture to box.. except it doesnt have that shine of box leather...it's not heavy like togo but buttery soft in feel..definitely not stiff...

Swift replaced Hermes Gulliver leather, sorry don't have any pics to show you comparisons, I'm currently on vacation - its a beautiful, buttery soft to touch leather, not scratch proof though
HTH
I have a Bolide 1923 in vermillion swift -- it is soft to the touch, and almost spongy. I cannot believe that it would be "scratch-resistant" since it has so little surface texture to the leather itself -- unlike togo or clemence. It does not have much sheen, because the leather is soft it absorbs the light rather than reflects it, so it takes color beautifully. I love it, but I wouldn't choose it for a bag that I would use frequently -- I'd be afraid to get it banged up.
