Box Calf / Veau Box through the years #boxcalfnerds

[QuelleFromage]

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.

I was hoping someone would post box nepal (and box étoile too). Hoping there is an expert to chime in

Someone here does have box Nepal (would it be bababebi I think?), I also remember a box Nepal Kelly that was listed on eBay a year or two back. Lovely thing but the price wasn't too friendly. Would love to see someone who has one here share a pic.

OH, WHAT A LOVELY THREAD!!! I am a real lover of box; in fact, all my six bags are box.
I am looking forward to post pics of my bags.
Currently I own: 2 Fifties Kellys, 1 Kelly and one Constance form the Seventies, 2 Kellys from the Nineties.
I don't think that box from the 90's is the best, all are luscious and lovely and all are different!

Please do - can't wait! Just back from holidays myself and missed my bags and my cat- if that doesn't sound too insane...

Ladysarah, as long as you don't miss your bags MORE than your cat, you're OK in my book! (Then again, my screen name probably gives me away, doesn't it?)

I will post my box Kelly too, soon - just had to recover from the Box Coma Jadeite's pictures put me in!

Here is my only vintage box Kelly.
Lovely chocolate color. Not sure what year but the stamp is a W. Love the patina.

Hi Aurelia24, i was wondering what in your opinion is the best box leather? I only own 1 and it's in the 90s thank you

W year makes it 1967!? That's one rare gem you have there. The patina is so lush. Does the box also have a plus feel?

Oh my these are all gorgeous my heart is pounding at having to see a rare sight of 1949 box. Even the 1970 is a dear, thank you so much for sharing!

Yes! It feels velvety smooth. I was trying to sell it but decided against it. Glad I did. I had no idea it was that old. I thought it was from the 90's!

Here are some pics of the stamps. The W has a circle around it & to the left is a 1. Below is a S. Not sure what that means.

W-circle yes, it's 1993 so you're right about it. W without encase in a shape is 1967. 90s box is very much a keeper so I think yours is in good loving hands.
