Hermes Kelly 28 in Vert de Gris

[880]

I was lucky enough to acquire a B30 in VdG togo from a reputable seller that I am in the process of having authenticated. It's absolutely gorgeous and I love it, only, it seems to have more brown undertones than I anticipated. I'm wondering - does anyone have VdG and Etain? Is it possible that the reseller could have confused the two?

I have photos of the same bag in different light. I love the color! I just want to know which it is

IMO, but I am no expert, the first pic looks like etoupe crossed with etain (and the second pic looks like etain crossed with graphite, but I am no expert. It is gorgeous, congrats

I just got my Kelly Vert de Gris 3 weeks ago in Paris. So it is in production this year. Here are photos of it in and out of sun light. You can see its color varies from Grey & Green!

Congrats on your stunning bag! Weird, my SA told me it's not available this season and put me on the waitlist for a Gris Meyer instead.

I got my VdG last month, so it is still in production.

Does anyone know if this color is still in production in 2023?

It for sure is as if part or the SO colour palette.

This isn’t true. Just because a color is available on the a la carte menu does not necessarily mean it is in normal/podium production.

It for sure means it’s no discontinued though that’s what my reply was too it’s still a normal active Hermes colour. No colours are permanently there apart from the 3 classic colours.

Anyone have vert amande vs Vert de gris?

Anyone have vert amande vs Vert de gris?

I had a VdG B30 with PHW and sold it. It looked muddy to me - more brown and gray, less green -and it just didn't work for me. I have since gotten a K28 in vert amande with GHW and love it. It's a cooler toned green gray. It's also lighter than VdG, more of a mid-tone.

I have both but in different styles:
VA: K28 retourne Togo
VdG: Flash backpack evercolor or evergrain (not entirely sure)

When next to each other, VA is cooler toned (appears even grayer) and VdG is warmer (the olive/etoupe-y tone comes out more) - although I do believe both are neutrals.

Thanks! And you can see the difference in color clearly when bags are side by side? I have a vert de gris in epsom and I love it, but I have had my eye on Vert Amande and wasn't sure if they're different enough? I also can't decide on hardware for VA.

To me, they look distinct even if they're in a similar family (if that makes sense). Both of mine are also in PHW. Unfortunately, I don't know what VA looks like in person in Epsom or other leathers. But as we know, sometimes the tone can be quite different in another leather.
Vintage Kelly Girl (IG) has a VA in Epsom and GHW. To me, it always appears on the lighter/cooler side (compared to my Togo): https://www.instagram.com/vintage.kelly.girl/?hl=en
But it could just be the lighting! haha sorry if that doesn't help much

I googled this - maybe it can help? https://rare-collection.store/en/blog/100-hermes-color-guide-green-treasure-part-2-dark
From here, it appears VdG can be quite dark and browner than I've seen (in other leathers).
