Pleaseeeee…Need help with leather and color options for an upcoming wishlist appointment

Which leather is good and doesn’t need constant babysitting? I do have Togo and swift

Which colors are available from Blue, Green and yellow family? Don’t have any Green or Yellow…would like to add a pastel pink but think based on reading previous posts there isn’t one that’s being offered this year

Please share any pictures for different leather if possible with pros and cons

What kind of bag are you looking for? What size? Will this be an everyday bag, a travel bag, or something for special occasions? Do you mind repeating leathers you already have in your collection?

Kelly 25 and Birkin 35
Would like to use both as much as possible
I do have Kelly 28 in Swift and Togo nata & gold
Birkin 30 in Togo Noir
No more Black , white or gold
Something in different color is what I’m thinking maybe skip neutrals

Since you didn't specify a leather preference, I've provided a general overview of colours you might like. Hermès leathers are high quality; it’s never been my experience that they require “constant babysitting”. If you are able to narrow down your preferences a bit more— i.e., grained vs. smooth leather, light vs. darker shades, warm vs. cool undertones— I (or another member) may be able to give you a more specific idea of the available combinations. The leathers and colours listed below have been available for either one or both of the bag styles you mentioned, though I've excluded exotics. Note: colours and leathers mentioned have been available this season or within the last couple seasons*.

Colours:

Blue
  • Bleu Pâle
  • Bleu Frida
  • Caban
  • Céleste
  • Navy
  • New Bleu Jean
  • Bleu de Prusse
  • Bleu Royal
  • Bleu France
Green
  • Toundra
  • Vert Yucca
  • Vert Amande
  • Vert Jade
  • Vert Vertigo
  • Vert Comics
Yellow
  • Jaune Milton
  • Jaune Poussin
  • Jaune Ambre
  • Sun
Pink (Pastel)
  • Rose Sakura
  • Mauve Pâle
Leathers: Epsom, Togo, Clémence, Swift, Chèvre

*I went with a production range of the last two years (2023-2024) to help give you a wider variety of options. Podium orders are often fulfilled retroactively, so it is not uncommon to be offered a bag with a non-current production date. As always, availability will depend on what your SM has ordered for your boutique and what corporate has decided to send.

Thanks a lot for your response, appreciate it. I would like a smooth leather with good color pigment for a pop of color or even pastel shades are fine. Inclined towards Chèvre, Mysore, Madame, Chamkila… not sure if Box is in production or not. Any other recommendations for leather type as I do have bags in Togo, swift and epsom.

Also, please share shades of Red, would love Rouge H but what else is out there not a bright red

If your wishlist appointment is for a Podium offer, the only available truly smooth leather option that would fit your criteria is Swift. You can still request Box Calf, but it’s Push offer, so there’s no guarantee it will even be sent to your boutique.

Swift options:
  • Sun
  • Vert Fizz
  • Vert Comics
  • Bleu France
  • Rose Sakura
None of the other leathers you mentioned are smooth. I haven’t seen Chèvre Chamkila in any colours you would like this season, though there were Bleu Frida and Bleu Royal during the last couple seasons, so you may still be able to get your hands on one of those. Chèvre Mysore has mostly been available for smaller bags recently. Veau Madame doesn’t come in any colours you’d like.

Edited: By the by, there are some blue-toned and darker reds you may like (i.e., Rubis, Rouge H, Rouge Sellier), but I have not seen them in the leathers you mentioned.

Very welcome! Hope you get your dream offer soon.:flowers:

Eta: You may be able to find many of these combinations posted in the Hermès Podium thread or the Hermès Offers thread here on the forum, as well.
 
Hi, does anyone know if Vert Cypress in Togo is available at the moment? If not, are there any similar forest greens I can ask for in a B25?
Hi there! Unfortunately, Vert Cyprès has not been available for regular, Podium Order Togo for a couple seasons now. The only vaguely similar green for Togo would be Vert Amande. If you aren’t necessarily tied to the idea of Togo for the leather, there is also some Vert Foncé Box Calf floating around; however, this is very rare. If you don’t mind Touch bags, there has been some Vert Cyprès available for Togo + exotic within the last year or so. Best of luck! ;)
