Thank you for your response. I like the pronounced grain down then center of the bag. My chèvre Birkin does not have that grain at all. Yours is very pretty! It is certainly a bag fitting for many occasions and a keeper for life.

You can find threads with info and photos of the Chevre “spine”, more pronounced on chevre de coromandel vs Mysore and presumably the new Chamkila. I think there is a thread here called something like Ode to Chevre that you should love reading.

Yes, that is the spine. My K32 is chevre de coromandel (as opposed to Mysore and Chamkila). The spine is usually not so apparent on the other chevre leathers.

Thank you ladies. Here are a couple of K28 with my gym attire. But gyms are closed at the moment so don’t really have to worry about matching gym outfits :P Frankly I wouldn’t want to visit high risk areas until vaccine is available for covid19...

You wear it well! I think you mentioned it was in RC...that is a great color.

Thank you so much! It’s definitely very eye catching - I saw a few ladies eyeing up on my Kelly when I was out doing food shopping yesterday :biggrin:

Your Kelly is beautiful! I love the look of chevre but I haven’t seen it in person. Must ask my SA to show me next time.

May I know how long did it take to order the canvas strap? I’ve asked my SA and she said canvas strap in RC isn’t available to order.

Thanks! Unfortunately I don't know how long it took. I bought it on the preowned market. At the time chevre Ks (and Bs) were I believe only available through special orders and I was nowhere near that level at my store.

H did/does make quite a lot of canvas straps. I don't see any currently on the US website so I'm not sure if they're still available. Here's a thread devoted to H replacement straps. You might find some ideas there. Lots of pictures of canvas straps.

Yes, mine is chèvre Mysore. Now I understand why mine does not have the grain. I will have to read the “Ode to Chèvre” thread. Thank you.
