[bondgirl2806]

Hi all,

great forum! Glad I came upon it.
I will be ordering my first Birkin- and wanted to know what is the main difference between Clemence and Togo leathers? Is Togo more harder and keeps the shape better and Clemence is much softer?

Thanks!

Clemence is leather from the young bull. In a nutshell, what you wrote can generally be said, also clemence is supposed to be heavier, especially in the larger Birkin models.
Here you find everything you need to know about Hermes leathers:
