Thanks for starting the thread. Does anyone here owns a the box nepal from early 2000? I own a constance 18cm in box nepal from H year and notice that this leather always comes in color that is pale, such as pale mauve, pale blue, pale grey, etc. I would love to learn more about this particular box leather. Please let me know if you know more information. Here's a picture of my constance.

What for a great thread !! Couture Coco, this Brique is TDF. And Jadeite my dear, all of them are beauties! I wish I were less chicken about box, my box and chamonix stay most of time in my closet... :shame:

Thank you arabesques.

Indeed orange boxcalf exists? Then you have given me new motivation for my next vintage hunt!

Good luck in your hunt, because it was indeed exceptionally beautiful.

Oh my cats! This is a wonderful thread! I cannot believe that you ladies have turned me into a box nerd...

I'm with Calexandre—that Saphhire Goat is a stunning beauty.

I do think there are bags in Orange box. I was looking at a Jigé in this recently.

Thank you arabesques.

I made some comparisons with a couple of my bags in box calf.

1) Kelly "Goat" - blue Sapir. 1991
2) Piano - Raisin. 2002.
3) Sac Baguenadier - marron. 1973
4) Plume - vert moyen, undated (likely 1990s)

Jadeite, this is spectacular. I love this color but in box and saturated like this....

Simply stunning, CC. Stunning.

Thank you so much!

 

[Couture Coco]

These are both gorgeous! The Drag is such a wonderful bag, isn't it?

Thank you so much! Oh yes, the Drag is the perfect tote for me and I dream of another with PHW.

Thank you sooooo much for the pics. Another one that shows how different new box is - I think old box is truly special.

You're most welcome! I agree, vintage box is the acme and I find them almost impossible to resist.

Thank you so much Anfang! I only wanted the Brique with PHW so was very pleased to stumble on it.
I have mostly box and chamonix and use them all the time at home and away.
