Hermes Greys!

I was also surprised that colors like Craie and Beton are considered greys.
I mean ok I can kind of see Beton since it doesn't have yellowish undertones but to me Craie is more cream/beige. Love your Beton Evelyne TPM btw!
Yea, I honestly would just think of Beton as a light beige and craie as a light cream. But did you end up keeping your 24/24 in Etain?

It's crazy, but getting the K25 made me fall in love with the 24/24 all of a sudden! :eek:The sharp lines of the dressier K25 create a huge contrast to the soft and cute 24/24. And the C18 has less capacity than the other two, so I would use them differently as well.
Do I still wish I had been offered different colors? Maybe a bit, but at least all 3 bags have different colored hardware. :biggrin:
For now, I have decided to keep it, although I am waiting until Christmas before I get to start using any of the new bags. :angel:
Will I be getting more grey bags? I think I will say no to future offers on this side of the spectrum and hold out for the much lighter shades like Beton, Gris Pale, Gris Neve etc.

TLDR: I am keeping it! :heart:
 
Yes, I'm pretty sure Vert-de-Gris is still currently being offered in bags. I saw a B stamp (2023) B25 in Vert-de-Gris for sale, so it must be in production. Not sure if it is produced a lot as it is a unique colour, not a classic. I love the colour tho, I have a 32mm epsom belt in Vert-de-Gris and Blanc.
Omg that's wonderful to hear, thank you for letting me know. And yes, the color really is stunning! Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on a bag in that color one day😍

I think you should ask your SA to see if Vert-de-Gris is a colour option in the leather type and bag style that you want. I think if you ask to see colour swatch samples, they will show you the available options for it. Hopefully, it's available in the bag and leather you want because I know that not every colour is produced in every leather type or bag.

Does it mean that Graphite is not available as of 2024 for B25 for example? I love darker greys, but haven't seen Graphite or Etain past years available :(

Grey is my fav bag colour and I'm thinking which ones to go for for my wish if I wanted a darker grey colour. Any advice? :confused1:

P.S. I have a mini Evi in Gris Meyer, love the colour but it's more of a mid grey rather than dark grey for me. Gris Misty looks very promising! I hope they keep that colour for a few seasons.

Graphite is pretty rare. They reissued it last year but very sparingly and mostly in Epsom/madame leathers for Sellier bags. There might still be some floating around out there but I’d recommend broadening your wishlist request unless you want to be waiting indefinitely. Gris Meyer and Gris misty are somewhat similar albeit lighter.

My SA told me that Etain is not available in bags this year.

I’m a big fan of Ardoise (over Graphite) but have not seen Gris Misty IRL. Would you say they’re close (ish)?

I always think of Etoupe as Taupe-a kind of muddy beige and although a neutral I dont personally like it.
I like (some discontinued sadly) Plomb, Gris Mouette,Vert Gris and Graphite and those would be my choices for a Grey bag
Agree with graphite and ardoise; I bought a dark gray box medor clutch that was tagged as ardoise and it’s one of my favorite colors

During covid, I passed on a graphite box Kelly for an amazing price. I regret not scooping it up.

Last year I passed on a padded Kelly at the boutique labeled Gris Meyer, that seemed way too light … I think some color batches must be way off, IDK

I was offered a B30 Gris Meyer and found that it didn't have enough depth/shading/tonality (I don't really know how to describe these things); it was too clear a color for me. Had I been able to live with getting in and out of the Kelly Flat I would never have moved on from Ardoise in Swift; just glorious! (I found fiddling with that closure especially annoying.). I think a grey bag would be really useful given my wardrobe and so I wonder where Misty fits into the mix. I'm hoping someone posts a few comparison pics in the reference section....
