I personally love evercolor!! It’s smoother look is devine and still holds its structure well.
Hi! I have a Togo 28 retourne. I love it, it is very casual. It does sag and flop a bit, so if that bothers you, I’d get an evercolor. That being said, I find my Togo very easy to get in/out of, and I also like that it is pretty bulletproof. Mine is H orange, and I’ve been surprised how much it works with my wardrobe! HTH!
In terms of weight which one is heavier. I am planning to use a kelly even at my 60s, weight should be my concern by then.
In my experience togo has proven better. I have a togo bag that looks brand new after years of use; my evercolor bag showed wear and floppiness much faster. I also find the evercolor leather heavier when empty, but perhaps that is just me. I prefer the feeling of evercolor but I'd pick togo above it for long-term durability.
good to know about evercolor. I always scratch my head about what the leather will be like years down the road when H introduces new (to me) leathers... just makes me nervous.
I don’t have an evercolor Kelly but have an evercolor Toolbox. I always worry that I’m going to scratch it because of the smooth surface so I rarely use that bag (like about 6 times in the 6 years I have it). If you’re scratch-phobia like me then I’d suggest Togo otherwise the evercolor is very rich and vibrant.
Really? You're going to use a Kelly even in your 60's?!

Togo and Evercolor are my favorite leathers at Hermès! You can’t go wrong with either one. But in terms of durability, I do think Togo wears, generally, better in the long run. Having said this, each type of leather’s thickness and overall quality can depend from bag to bag. Make sure to check for yourself - I’ve heard about some Togo bags being thinner and losing its structure while others are super thick and sturdy!
I have a B30 togo and K28 evercolor. When empty, K28 is definitely lighter but I'm not sure if B30 is slightly bigger so has more leather?
In terms of shape, both are still holding up well after 3 years with the K28 slightly better.
Hmmm?? Sounds like LV canva the newer one are thinner and easy to tear compared to the old production .. will this be the same issue for H?
