Of course, here you go! You can just start to see the patina develop around the corners and edges.

Thank you for posting pics! Still drooling over your porc Calvi
How long have you had it? I was wondering how it compares to Barenia and ostrich in terms of how long it would take to develop the patina.

This arrived last May/June time and I have used it very day since as it’s my commuter pass holder!
From my experience, the patina development is much more subtle and measured than Barenia (no ostrich experience as of yet!) and is slowly mellowing within the same colour tone rather than the more dramatic development Barenia can undertake, but this may change in the longer-term.
Thank you so much for posting your pictures- it truly IS gorgeous. The patina is great- you're right, it's subtle yet at the same time more noticeable throughout the entire piece ( if you see what I mean), as you can see that great patina not only at the edges, but (albeit less so) where some of the bristles had been. I love that, as I think it highlights the leather type and origin.
Thanks so much
Totally! The pores and the subtle glossy sheen really are one-of-a-kind.
Ostrich is next on my interesting Calvi radar!
Not the OP you are replying to, but I have the same verso Barenia / Bleu Saphir calvi and I got mine in the boutique
Great thanks! Did you find it in a boutique recently?Not the OP you are replying to, but I have the same verso Barenia / Bleu Saphir calvi and I got mine in the boutique
yes, my SA knows I’m looking for verso ones and texted me with a photo of it December 13th last year - just scrolled through our text message history to confirm
a photo with reference number in case it helps you ask for locating one.
Edit to actually upload the photo lol
Awesome, thank you!!! Does that say H076779CKAB for the product reference? I googled that and nothing comes up so I'm thinking maybe I am reading it wrong (it's a little unclear)
Yes, I think that's correct - I believe it is "H076779CK" with "AB" being the color (as listed on actual receipt).
No search online probably means they have never posted this specific color on Hermes.com anywhere! Hopefully your SA can help you locate one. Good luck!
Got mine at my local H store first week in January this year. So very recent purchase
I have a new-to-me 2016 that's on its way to me now. It will be my first barenia piece and I'm unreasonably excited about it.
