Hello!! i was wondering if someone could explain or point me in the direction of what all the additional stamps on the bags are. i know the horseshoe is special order, and the shooting star is an employee bag, but whats the ^ or the square?

Hi, can anyone advise me on the difference of the regular kelly and the recently seen kelly amazone? Is amazone kelly a new design or it's just a difference in the strap giving it a more sporty look than the usual plain leather strap? TIA!:D

I recently purchased my first Kelly, Prune Box 25 phw L stamp, brand new! There is a lot of veining on the front panel, very uniform though. Is this normal for box? Is it something you would stray away from? I'm fairly new to H and couldn't find my answer after searching for days on TPF.

The veining within the box leather is just a natural occurance because of the hide. Some box bags have no veining and some do, just like Togo and Fjord bags. I don't know when box bags started seeing veining but I have seen more bags in the last 3-4 years in box with veining. Veining is a personal preference; some people find it wonderful and a unique characteristic of each hide, other people don't like it at all. Your bag sounds lovely!! Enjoy it!!:flowers:

The very first box leather bags I personally saw with obvious veining were back in year 2K.

Ladies, I was wondering because I have never noticed before, but the hardware at the end of the straps on the Birkin, that u attach to the turnlock to close the bag, are those little hardware plates glued onto the strap or are they just screwed in on each side of the plate? Thank you!

Hi I am sorry if this is the wrong place to post but how similar is bois de rose to coq de roche? I understand both of them have dull pink undertones to them... Please lend me your inputs, thanks so much in advance!
