Fjord Leather

This is an old thread but I am wondering what is the current "situation" with Fjord?? Has anyone bought a Fjord Birkin 35 recently? Is it heavy, heavier than Clemence (or Togo)? Other opinions about Fjord? I don't see much discussion or pics of Fjord bags, so I am wondering if it is not a popular leather.. I have had a Fjord B35 in my sight but hesitating bc I have only been dealing with Togo Birkins so far.. Thank you for any comments! :flowers:
my SA told me its been rested...it is heavy as compare to other leathers

I got mine 2 years plus ago brand new from the store...it feels like the same weight as my Togo B and looks almost the same but probably sturdier

Ah, this is interesting Powder Puff! Does it mean the new Fjord (or as new as it can be if it is now rested) is lighter than the old one? So you have carried both a lot and don't feel any difference? I would like to carry my B35 several hours if necessary without my arm being tired. With my Togo b35 I can do that (well, would definitely not be my first option if I was reasonable person and chose some other brand with lighter bags, lol!) , so do you think it is the same with "new" Fjord?
Would love to hear from other's owning new Fjord too!

i have fjord B and i don't find it heavier than togo , even if it was i could not tell the difference and i use it as a work bag
it is a sturdier type of leather and is renowned for its veiny appearence, which I love
To me, fjord is a classic Hermes leather

I don't carry both a whole lot as I find size 35 a bit too heavy nowadays but when I do, it's not a noticeable difference.
