Description MOU

[Luvchane]

I just purchased a gold 31 Bolide, I can't remember what type of leather the SA told me it was. I noticed on the receipt it has the code MOU. Does this refer to a type of leather? The Hermes store is closed today so I can 't call.

It means soft, with an inside seam, as opposed to the rigid style, which is seamed differently.

Mistikat - Thank you so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to answer. Would there be any reference to the type of leather used in the purse on the receipt?

^ Pretty sure all mine have. What does the receipt say?

 

[Luvchane]

I don't see any reference to leather, just type of bag, color, and the code "MOU"

Bumping this thread regarding question on MOU. Does anyone know is a MOU Kelly the same thing as a Retourne Kelly?
The receipt said : SAC Kelly 2 MOU. Thank you very much for any input.

There are 3 styles for the Kelly – Retourne, Mou and Sellier.

Retourne: Retourne, a term more used by Hermes these days, simply means that the bag has been turned inside out after stitching so the stitches are inside the bag with piping exposed at the seams, giving it a more supple feel. This is the most common production method for the Kelly.

Mou: This type of Kelly is made with softer leather types but with the stitching on the outside. This style is rarely seen.

Sellier: Sometimes referred to as the Rigide, the bag is distinguished easily by its structured shape and the exposed stitching on the outside of the bag. It is mostly used on stiffer leather types, hence its rigidity and favoured by women who likes a “dressier” look for their Kelly. The Sellier is harder to come by and is pricier than a Kelly Retourne.
