Close up photos of my 2016 BBK. Since the blind date stamps are no longer being used. I wonder how would we figure out the years going forward.

Oh my ... what a gorgeous BBK! The finish is so smooth, velvety and absolutely covetable. Do share modeling pics if you get the chance.

Wilmi ... I am with QF & duna for Rouge Vif re the rouge Plume. Congratulations on a gorgeous find! Please share pics when you have received it.
Wilmi & Duna ... The chatter and photos about Box Plume bags are very enabling! Think I may need to hunt for one now...

Hi QuelleFromage! I love your RH box K. It is beyond gorgeous! Which size of black box K are you looking for? I have been searching for a box K28 but have not seen many. K32s seem much easier to find.

I'm looking for another 28. They're not hard to find in GHW....I had an amazing one that now belongs to another wonderful tPFer. But BBK in PHW is less common, sigh!

Thanks a lot!

Yes, my slouchy Swift Birkin;)! I adore slouchy soft bags, that's why I like Swift and Clemence so much: Boxcalf being the only exception:girlsigh:

We have the same taste in leathers <3

Hi ladies .... Apologies for the late reply. Was traveling and just managed to take some pics of the HAC.
H. for H. ... The contrast stitching is orange. This bag arrived after 8-9 years. Was told HACs are unicorns now for SO and box leather is hardly offered for our neck of the woods.
Hermesdiorduo, PJW5813 ... Here are more pics. Interior is Fuschia Chevre. Thanks for your interest!

DYING here. This is amazing, just an incredible bag in every way!

Oooooooo ... Can't wait to see the new addition to your fabulous Box family. Love to see discontinued and rare Box bags. Waiting with high anticipation...

It's here! It's amazing. I'll do an unboxing when I have daylight :graucho:
 
BBK in PHW sounds divine! Best of luck finding one! I saw one on eBay around 6.6k a few weeks ago from a Japan seller and it was sold quickly:(.

Would you keep me in mind if you see any k28 in great condition please?:) Thanks much!!!

I saw that BBK PHW...it was lovely but had a massive scratch on the front. The going rate is around 7K, more than BBK GHW sadly!
What kind of K28 do you want? There are beautiful examples popping up here and there with GHW and I'd be happy to help if I can :D

Thank you; amazing - and after such a long wait! That must to be a comfort to some people who, although lucky enough to place orders, are still waiting after several years.
 
Thank you QF. That is what I figured. First red bag for me. I think of myself more of a rouge h person, but since it is the first red might as well make splash and go vif! Can´t wait.

BBK 28 with silver, those I do not see much. And if it should match your Red Kelly condition this is going to be a challenge. But this sounds fun, I will keep my eyes open. Although, I do not usually venture into those categories... not yet, anyways :p..... I like to carefree use my bags, so I am very happy with 2nd hand.....
 
What a beautiful bag!!! It is stunning! 8 years! I cannot trust myself to know what I like next month..... I do not know what I would do if I had to wait for a bag for 8 years and every year hoping that it would come this year... sounds like it would be very hard to do....... Maybe that is because I am still a hermes puppy with not enough Hermes maturity?

Lovely bag! Congratulations! Enjoy!

baghag21, I wish I could tell you having a plume is the most fun.... all I can tell so far is wanting a plume and looking for one is good fun. If you need more enabling look over to the ode to plume threat. Wonderful pics and lovely people as well. Cheers.

Thanks for the photos and intel! Looks like box is coming back soon! My very charming SA said that recently H acquired a new tannery specializing on box leather :)

A Lady in Germany is auctioning off her 60 Piece Collection. Not many Box, no plume but otherwise an incredible collection and very reasonably priced it seems. Maybe you know someone whose wishes could be filled here.

Enjoy:nuts:

Holy Moly!!!!!!! What a collection, I don't think I have ever seen an exotic Ghillies, wow! I would love to see those bag in person! Thanks for posting wilmi!

Thank you, Marbella8. Amazing.....The auction is in Stuttgart and the bags are as well, I assume. Usually, the bags can be viewed ahead of the auction. When I bought something there they were very helpful and made and send extra pictures.
