your bag looks pretty great for being 6-7 years old! have you carried it a lot or sparingly? imo swift takes colors like no other; it's a lovely leather.

I used to carry it more in the earlier days when I had less bags to rotate. I've sent it to Spa about two years ago but frankly didn't see much difference Spa made.
May be because it's a 25 so it doesn't really slouch nor get bumped a lot when being used.
Btw I just looked, it's stamped Year L.
I love swift bags. Swift is my all time favourite Hermes leather, although box to me, is most gorgeous. Here are some older swift bags I have, so you can see how well they age. B30 lagon is L, B30 Soleil is M, B35 Blue de Malta is M, Kelly Flat is K. B35 BDM just went to spa, and I would say it spa-ed beautifully. I don't particularly baby my bags, and I get the same scratches as dings on the swift as I would get on my epsoms and togos. However, swift is softer than epsom, and u have to be prepared for batwings when you use swift birkins without the flaps buckled. My b30s haven't started to slouch, but the b35 cannot stand without cushioning inside. But i love the chicness of slouchy bags, so this works well for me. I do wish that Hermes made more swift birkins. I haven't seen new ones in quite some time!

wow.. i am totally totally jealous..your bags are gorgeous....i love swift too, equally with box..wish i had more bags in swift!
all my swift bags have been through rain, scratches from my h belt buckles, bracelets etc..all survived intact.
my kelly 25 is my most used swift bag - from 2011. still looks as good as ever. use it for travelling a lot. very convenient size and fits quite a lot.
pink lindy, also from 2011. still same shape as when i bought it..
i also use my turquoise jige whilst travelling too..

stunning collection of Swift bags! I'm fairly new to the brand but this is my favorite leather and I would buy almost anything that came in Swift.
Hermès are you listening??
Wow, thanks for posting the pics of your bags. I had never heard of a Kelly Flat until today!
beautiful bag nuinuinui, thank you for sharing! i do get that same sense that a lot of people are divided on swift leather - i am in the camp that just loves it... for the color, and the amazing smooth buttery feel. i only have one swift bag so far, a pre-loved Lagon Kelly 32, stamp L, and it is in beautiful condition!
same here madam bijoux, love the color and smooshy goodness!!
same here ldldb, love the color and smooshy goodness!!
my goodness hananiki, i am DYING over your swift bags hananiki
AMAZING!!! thank you for sharing!!! i am especially in love with your lagon B (one of the few i've seen with GHW!) and soleil B!! 
you are the other with an amazing swift collection chincac, your lindy is SOOOOOO cute!!!
I have a Swift Birkin 35 J stamp (I think) and with Barenia and Box it's my favourite H leather. I LOOVE it's buttery softness to the touch and I LOOVE slouchy bags, so what else can I say?!?
I think Swift is a resilient leather and can withstand just about anything; I'm careful with my bags but I don't baby them, after all, they are made to be used and enjoyed!!!
I placed 2 special orders for Swift Birkins last month: it does take longer to SO a Swift Birkin compared to Togo or Clemence or Epsom, (I waited 2 1/2 years for one) but they arrive eventually.
Here's my Havanne B 35:

lucky you duna to be able to SO swift Birkins....and the havanne is luscious..agree with you re swift being resilient despite looking so luxe..
thank you carlinha
Thank you bagidiotic! Love how swift takes to colours so well!
Lol!! Yes! I hope Hermes is listening. I'm still hoping to sight the Rose Sakura swift kelly in real life! 😊
My pleasure! Yes, love the Kelly Flats! I think they only came in Swifts and there were in green (vert anis?), gold and rose dragee. Maybe black too? And i think of memory serves me well, there is a chat topic here in tpf that is dedicated to the kelly flat!
my goodness hananiki, i am DYING over your swift bags hananiki
Thank you Carlinha! I love your bags too! And yes, lagon ghw.... it gives the color such an interesting vibe!

Hi hananiki and chincac, your swift collections are just so pretty and great to see they've aged so well! You both had some very lovely colors but have you noticed any color darkening while they age? I mean do you feel they are not as bright as the time you took them home?
Thank you. No darkening as far as i can tell.. All my swift bags are bright colours so will be very noticeable if they was darkening! I was just admiring my swift orange k yesterday sitting in the sun glistening brightly - thinking to myself i want more bags in swift!
