I hope everyone is well wherever you may be.
These two leathers (Clemence + Box Calf) could not be more drastically different from each other and I am having such a hard time deciding. I LOVE smooth leathers, the Vache Naturelle bags, slightly textured Epsom, but adore my Fjord because it can take a beating. However, this time around, I am looking to add to my vintage Birkin collection and need to know which leather: Box Calf (Natural) or Clemence (Gold)? I always look for bags that are not too delicate and want a leather that is sturdy enough for everyday use (minus stormy days). For those of you with the wisdom and privilege of owning multiple Hermes leathers, which of the two clemence or box calf, would you prefer?
I have box calf Kelly that I love, but never owned a Clemence, just Fjord. I have been searching for opinions regarding Box Calf and Clemence its durability and just wanted to see, which leather would be best for everyday use? I appreciate everyone's help and any advice you can give!!!
Feel free to plop this question in another thread if needed. I could not find this anywhere to simply add to a thread already in motion.
