Hi all! Just out of curiosity is this normal stitching for a rouge h in Togo? Most I see online are in box so having a hard time figuring it out. I would love to add a rouge h to my collection. Just trying to educate myself! Thank you!
Is Contrast stitching or normal for rouge H?

I’m not sure if this has the same issue as some of the bags I’ve encountered. But, I’ve encountered stitching that’s not meant to be contrast. It’s possible the leather aged differently than the thread which made it look different in color.
I’ve also seen this bag on the website where you probably saw it. I’d carefully examine the bag if I were you. Try seeing it in person first if possible cause for the bag’s age, I think it started too early for cracking on the wax edges. I’m not sure but maybe it was stored in an intense humid condition for it to have cracked that early which must also be the reason why the leather could have possibly darkened earlier than the stitching. I’m no expert but I’ve had Hermès bags older than this stored in relatively humid conditions without cracking on wax edges. I notice based on experience that cracks on edging start after at least 5 years of daily use. Happy shopping!
Thank you!! I’ve also asked for some extra photos, details, etc… unfortunately I cannot see it in person however it would be returnable which is nice. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet and still just doing research
I think it also might’ve been their photography because it seems to match the bag much better in the requested photos. Looking into the cracking as well.
Going to pass I think. The hardware is also too scratched in the photos they sent for that price imo. If it goes lower in price it may be worth a try
Thank you again for your thoughts!
Could be lighting too haha I saw two other togos in rouge h from fashionphile. The Birkin has a more blended color as opposed to the tri color kelly, which is similar to the one on the Kelly you’re interested in.I have a contact who’s fabulous in the website for the rouge h kelly. If you’re going through their chat support and aren’t getting as much detailed stuff as possible and want his contact, dm me

This shouldn’t be happening either for its age.The color’s beautiful though, but rouge h just doesn’t go with my wardrobe. I got an agenda in rouge h to satisfy that craving years ago hahaha
You’re so sweet! I have a wonderful contact there as well. I think we’re both maybe referring to the same person. He’s always very responsive via text.

And very interesting. That stitching in the tri color does look exactly the same. I saw another birkin in Togo on another site that also had the slightly different stitching. So may possibly just be a slight variation in the some of the rouge h bags in Togo??
I’m also wondering if it will go with my wardrobe… seems some love it and other cannot make it work. I’m not a bright red person so thought this might be an alternative. I prefer using my birkin but not as practical as a mom of 2 littles. There’s a green 30cm B on their site I’m sooo tempted by as well BUT Im holding out for a 25cm B next. I also want a darker colored K since this would be a good every day bag and rubbing on my hip/crossbody. I think regardless I may wait and see if it gets lowered and if not it wasn’t meant to be!
I think it’s a beautiful classic color but can clash with seasonal tones. It can be too dark for spring/summer so I use my similar colored bags to rouge h during fall/winter but I’m a such a sucker for noir, etoupe, and bleu marine so those get priority.
The past month I’ve been reaching for my bougainvillea birkin more than I have the past 13 years I’ve had it as it’s such a chameleon. It can be pink, red, and orange depending on the light which I’m obsessing over.
But if rouge h works for your wardrobe, I think it’ll be an excellent everyday bag as the color’s very classic Hermès. More so in a kelly! If you’re talking about the green in clemence made in 2015, it’s such eye candy I love!
*in regards to our contact, if his name starts with a B, I love him! Hahahah
Ah Birkin twins! I love my bougainvillea Birkin too! The perfect pop but neutral at the same time. And yes that is the green eye candy I was referring too. So very tempting but I have to keep scrolling and try to be practical lol. My contacts name starts with an R haha! But glad we both have nice contacts

Bag cheers, that’s awesome I love having bag twins! That green is wonderful, I’m actually looking into a 35 of that. But if practicality is on your list, a Kelly’s a much better choice. I always say if there’s only one bag I could have my entire life, it would be a kelly.
If R’s last name starts with an L, I love him too! He used to be my contact until he went on a leave years ago then B forced us to be friends. You can’t go wrong with their staff, always been amazing whether in store or online
Yes, this is correct. Rouge H has this colour stitching, and it often appears more vibrant than the leather. The colour is called Acajou, and it is used on a couple other leather colours as well.
Thank you! I see Rouge H in my collection at some point so I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me.
