I know I’m reviving an old thread... I have a no epsom rule for my 10-12 bag collection. I really want a noir k25 sellier. I haven’t been offered an SO and so I’m wondering are all other k25 sellier in store that aren’t epsom push offers? What leathers have you seen for k25 sellier that may be available in store?

There's Fauve Barenia in 25/28/32 sellier, but not in noir. I have seen a black Barenia K28 sellier ONCE several years ago at resale....I think anything like that is beyond unicorn status.
I support the no Epsom rule :flowers:

Thank you!!! I love that you support my no epsom bags decision! I doubt I will ever get to the status to be offered a noir barenia hahaha heres to hoping I can SO one or I can be offered evercolor/box etc with phw.
 
It’s pretty much Epsom only for sellier. The only way to get another leather is to be super lucky with a push offer or to SO chevre or Togo.

I have to say, though, that I’ve had an Epsom K25 since the fall and I love it. It wears so well! I avoided it for many years so this has been a really pleasant surprise. It’s been just as sturdy as my Togo and my chevre bags.
I could have written these words about my black Epsom K25. I don’t know if I’d indulge in Epsom on other bags again, but I have absolutely no regrets about this one.
 
I also love the look of a Kelly Sellier in Epsom. I know many people dislike this leather but I find it to be really durable and the structure keeps forever. Having owned bags in clemence and togo, I think these leathers do sag over time (even B30s in togo loses its structure a bit in my opinion).....meanwhile, all my bags in epsom still look as new as the day I bought them which I absolutely love!

Togo sellier does not sag at all in my experience. It doesn't actually make sense that it would sag, as ALL selliers have the stiff cardboard lining inside, which is what makes the bag so rigid.
I have never seen a sellier in Clemence, although I was once told it could be ordered. I don't think that SA was correct. It is not in the current SO choices.

The day they add Barenia to SO is the day H runs out of Barenia, so we will all need to move very fast ;)
 
With Barenia, Box, and Sombrero in production for sellier K as well as Epsom, it seems unlikely there will be another leather offering. If chèvre in larger skins were easier to come by it might be in production, but seems like that will remain restricted to Mini Kelly and SO. If sellier were more popular maybe they'd start doing it in Togo outside SO, or in Tadelakt....but for now it doesn't seem there's enough demand.
I'm with you on disliking Epsom, that's why all my SOs are sellier Ks. I now have too many and wish I had another retourné instead :P

There might still be some Tadelakt in circulation. A friend of mine just got offered one a month or 2 ago.
