Thank you fashioninthecity, HG, amkur, MrsM, Loony and the ladies contributed for The Hermes Library. So much to read, learn and desire. This thread makes me hungry for more Hermes :devil:
Love it about H:
Q. Do you consider Hermès a daring company?
A. Yes, within reason.

The bag in that pic appears to be croc (though possibly alligator instead?), and is probably approx a 28cm Kelly.

Heh, it seems as though they left off a zero on the price of that croc Lindy by the way.

second the 28 but it is porosus croc in braise

I think I need to get my eyes examined, LOL, cause I can't see much of anything in that pic!! I'm curious how you can tell that it's specifically poro from that grainy photo...or did you maybe see the actual magazine in question?

to differenciate poro from nilo is quite easy when you do know your croc . nilo even with the smallest scales has an even pattern from inside to the outside meaning the scales are realatively all the same size with poro you start with slightly larger scales in the middlele that always become smaller(web like) to the outside. look closely whn you compare two identical colored bags in nilo and poro and you´ll see it and also a more 3 dimensiol color on the poro while the nlo has a "flatter" appereance

LOL, and a teeny, tiny bit more expensive than the quoted 3something K GBP.
Does VB even have a braise croc?

Thanks Lilach! Very helpful info! Most of the croc we see these days then is poro?

It is interesting, indeed since we know poro is getting harder and harder to come by and there will be substantially fewer poro Hermes species in the 2008.

here is a good example of porosus vs niloticus both are miel and both are from createurs de luxe

That kelly bag in the VB pic is pre 2000. And perhaps the price is what an alligator 28cm cost back then. My alligator skin 32cm looks like that exactly. Have to be able to see the pores or lack thereof to determine. From such an article, it's hard to believe that kelly has anything to do with VB.
