swift is very soft and buttery. i used to be afraid of it, but the more i use, the more i like it ( I have a swift mini lindy). though it can potentially scratch easily the scratches can also be buffed out as compared to epsom, which will be a permanent scar.

that said, i do see more epsom B&K compared to swift.. but then, i don't think swift is as popular either so you may get lucky and get it fast

Yes I also observed more Epsom B&K in the market. It's a more practical choice I suppose. Am very torn now haha.

I think almost all of us have this “i used to dislike it & now i love it” exp with H. Or at least for me. I wanted to get K retourne too. But i was offered K sellier. I thought i dislike the stiff structured K sellier too. But now i wanted sellier even more hahaha i love the epsom leather bcos it’s so durable. I can wipe off some light rain if i need to cross quickly without shelter (of cos not heavy rain haha). I even dropped my K once frm my seat when i slid myself out frm the sofa in a restaurant. And voila! Like nothing happened! :eek:

Yes I get your point. I just saw a Etoupe epsom sellier IRL and it actually looks pretty nice. I think the colour plays a part as well. My wardrobe is mostly light coloured so perhaps a light colour sellier could work for me.

The reason why I don't want Epsom is because it tends to come in sellier style, but I prefer retourne. My SA says to give her maximum 2 combis for my QB. She did say that Epsom is 'easier' to get.
Will Swift leather be soft and slouchy?

Are you looking for a Kelly retourne .
I do think that box calf Kelly retourne is v rare ! If keen for smooth leather only seems like more common option would be swift .
Epsom and togo are popular cox they r easier to maintain And they are the cheaper option first hand + prices do well in the second hand market . That’s why they are so popular in sg. But I personally find that epsom bags doesn’t feel Lux -felt the same as Kate spade/ Michael kor bags that’s why I lost interest in epsom after awhile .

Swift is soft and buttery and nice to touch . Many pink bags are in swift as this leather takes colour best . Esp pink. But If you aren’t careful when you store your bags , the bag might lose its shape. I once left a bag insert inside my birkin 25 and left it there for awhile, it started to develop a line at the back . Hence price wise , it doesn’t do as well in second market . You can get swift Birkins and Kelly at a pretty gd price in the second hand market .
But I would only get swift leather bags in small sizes like b25/k25

Evercolour is a great option but I see it mainly in Constance bags not often in B/ K. Evercolour is nice to touch , doesn’t lose its shape as easily as swift in Constance ( not sure abt B/K) . its fairly scratch resistant ( read that it’s fairly water resistant too!).

Swift is surprisingly hardy, perfect for smaller bags. I would think the bigger the bag the slouchier it gets. With proper storage you can get it to maintain its shape.

Thanks for sharing. Yes I'm leaning towards a K28 Retourne. The box calf Kelly Retourne is just a pipe dream :lol: Will have to get a pre-loved one. I agree that Epsom looks less lux! But have to admit that it is more lightweight and low-maintenance. I saw a K25 Swift IRL, it looks very supple and soft. But any scratches will also be more obvious. Long story short, based on communication with my SA, I seem to have only 2 options: togo or epsom :facepalm:

@buti are you a VIP? You have so many leather options :lol: Just curious have you been offered Kelly in box or Swift before?
Click to expand...
I started my journey last year and I’m definitely not a vip. My SA mentioned recently if I would like a box kelly or birkin. But I hate it when my things get scratches, so is a no no for me hahaha. I can’t imagine taking something out of my bag and cause a scratch. It freaks me out, I think is just me lol

I love Hermes rings… rose gold color is so pretty. I first bought cdc ring, then. I bought Kelly ring. Next thinking of getting enchappee ring or galop ring. Anyone has these 2 rings to share their feedback?

Nice! Do you prefer the cdc or the Kelly ring? I have the cdc which I love and thinking of getting the Kelly ring. Wondering if they are different enough to get both.

Simplest answer would be to choose and buy whatever is available in the boutique.
