I was there again today, gracekelly. There are "hidden" treasures beneath the ones on display. If you're still interested, you may want to return. I asked if a GM Tigre Royal was available and a kind SA found it in a drawer underneath the cases.

I’ve been admiring the work of Leila Menchari for a long time and I visited the exhibition at Grand Palais on Wednesday. It was magical [emoji92]
The peacock Kelly is breathtaking and I’m so happy I could finally see it in person. Bumped into the handsome Michael Coste and we exchanged a few words. He was escorting some guests at the exhibition.
Came home with these books and lovely memories. I hope they will reissue one of her silk scarves soon.

Thank you for the update. Won't be going back as it ends tomorrow. I guess I was not interested enough to ask, and they didn't seem too forthcoming to show me anything. Glad you are happy with your finds
Thank you for posting, Serva! I had read about this exhibit months ago and hoped that I would get to travel but it’s not likely. I’m so happy to see photos!!!
I would also love to congratulate you on your spectacular ebene beauty! Simply gorgeous!!!!
Thank you dharma [emoji3] so kind of you. Glad you enjoyed the pics.
I confess it took me 24hrs to love the bag because of the colour. As a child I was so traumatized in the 70s by brown that the only brown I nowadays wear is camel coats. My BF told me to think of really exquisite chocolate when looking at the bag and my niece visited me yesterday and she completely loved it, very happy with my decision now. I have 2 barenia B25s and my nieces will inherit one each. Barenia is my favourite leather, as many people know [emoji3]
Your nieces are Lucky girls!! I have to admit I find the rampant dislike of brown leather puzzling. While I understand that not everyone is a neutral lover, “Brown” in leather is the color most close to nature to me and extremely versatile. Leather untreated is essentially some shade of brown. I love raw materials. Not too many blue electrique animals running around
But it does help to think of chocolate!! I notice fashion journalism would sooner use food words for browns ( caramel, mocha, chocolate) than animal words 
@gracekelly , too bad the Hermesomatic didn’t do it for you. I would have loved to catch it when it was here but it never worked with my schedule. I loved when H produced dip dyes, they are among my favorite scarves. I agree that I would be hard pressed to dye one of my own carefully selected pieces. At the time I was going to pick something up on ebay in a pattern that I’ve always loved but have never found a decent colorway. I’m hoping they come back East.
Rather interesting about brown...i don't know why it is such a forgotten color. I have to admit that the brown things in my closet are rather unworn. It isn't that I dislike it, because I do like it quite a bit. I think it could be laziness and a default to black. I have an ebene chevre Kelly that has seen much use probably since it is so close to black. Anything lighter like barenia, caramel or gold is easy to wear and pretty user friendly to most.Your nieces are Lucky girls!! I have to admit I find the rampant dislike of brown leather puzzling.

Gorgeous pics and I completely agree with you- Menchari is an enchantress and her work is unsurpassed. I am eagerly awaiting the release of that book here in the US- can't wait to get a copy!
Love brown...the undertones in brown are amazing and change with colors put beside it. Congrats on your new bag, serva.
Thank you chaneljewel, so sweet of you. Looking forward experimenting a bit with colours and my new brown bag. Cream and turquoise will definitely work for me [emoji3]
I went to the exhibition also, thanks again to everyone here for posting about it! Serva took great pictures!
Afterward I felt like booking a trip to Tunisia!
