I can't seem to post multiple photos in the same post :(( Here is the leather tag

This bag is from s/s 2015 and it is suede, nubuck or monk. Do you happen to have the white tag for it? I didn't realize they were still making day bags. The rumor was that they were discontinued. Even more, the suede looks different from the typical suede bags so that's why I'm thinking it is another material. The white tag will tell you which material it is. In terms of the color, the suede bags don't always follow the Moto line colors so I am not sure what the official name is.

does anyone know the colour and season of this bag? I love the colour and am actually considering between this and the baby sac de jour.. Both of which are kinda boxy. Would appreciate any comments on type of leather etc! Thanks! :smile1:

Hmm, the tag says it is made from chèvre. It must be treated somehow. I don't think it is the suede version, but I'm not familiar with the style numbers of the newer bags. Maybe someone else can chime in?

Chamoise pigmentee means pigmented (or dyed) chamois. Originally chamois was produced from the hide of the chamois, a goat-antelope animal found in the mountainous areas of Europe from Spain to the Caucasus (thank you Google!). Apparently now it is also made from sheepskin or lambskin. The original chamois was tanned with marine (fish) oils after it's grain was removed. Methods have now changed to include sheep and lambskin, as well as synthetic oils for tanning. Wonder if it's made from goat-goat or an actual chamois? Both would be considered goat I would think, in terms of labeling.

BTW Justjus, the tag does state that the hardware is brass (laiton). Saira, do you know what type of finish they would put over brass to obtain the colour?

Thanks for that info. Yeah, according to the tag it is chèvre, so it would be goat. Looks like they treated it differently from the typical aniline method. The brass hardware looks the same to me.

I'm not as familiar with the papier line because the colors do not always follow the Moto line. It would be fairly recent since it is the metallic edge style. That would be from the past few seasons at least. I'm not sure of the name or season. Sorry.
