I'd like to buy a new Birkin in some beige colour.
I don't want to limit my choice to one specific colour, as I'm asking a friend to buy it for me so if I tell her to buy one of the following colours would I end up with light beige bag
Alezan,
Etoupe,
Tabac,
Camel,
Biscuit,
Poussiere,
Natural chamonix,
Cream

I want a colour that goes well with beige, white and black outfits.
I'd like it to be with gold hardwear without the white stitching. Do the above colours come with gold hardwear?
I have a B 35 togo chocolate that is very nice but not very summery, so I want to have a bag for the summer, but not limited.
I also have a black togo Kelly. I love Kelly and wonder should I buy a Beige Kelly - doesn't look more classy?
Decisions, decisions!
Please help me make up my mind!:smile1:
 
Ari, Etoupe comes with white stitching.

For me Alezan is a bit dark...

I saw a beautiful colour : beige in swift... Very classy and light color.

But do you know the leather you'd want for your birkin ?
 
^^^^^^

I agree with FS, ari

I have a beige swift/rev to choc chamonix belt, and have worn the beige so much this summer, it is a lovely neutral and goes with so many things - looks cool with PHW and yummy with GHW .
;)
 
By default, etoupe comes with white stitching.

Re: Hardware, all the colours can come with either gold or silver hardware, though I have noticed a recent trend of more silver than gold in European stores.

I like both the Birkin and the Kelly, really depends which you think you might have more use out of. I do think beige is a colour you can do in both.
 
FrenchSandra, esmeh, queenvictoria2, dreamdoll, SympathyDuet, Thank You so much for your help! I think I need to narrow the colours to:
beige swift - first pict on he left

tabac - it sounds a bit darker than it is here on the picture

etoupe - I'm afraid that it has some gray in it and I won't be able to wear it with some camel and true warm beige colours.

Natural Chamonix 32 cm Sellier Kelly GH - with time as far as I understand this colour can become darker?

Thank You dreamdoll
For some reason I don't like the white stitching:nogood:
I like very much the combo of beige and gold, hope I can find it!
Now if I get a Kelly I'd like it to be the Sellier, but Kelly is a bit dificult to handle.

I try not to limit my choice by bieng picky with the leather type. For some reason I think it will look better in a leather that is smooth and hard, but if I find it in togo I'd take it.
What is you view on the leather?
