Yes I think so. Though there are differences, I use the colors interchangeably. I have a lot of gold bags. But I prefer different styles and models bc I have different uses for them. I would not get sufficient use out of two B30s that are in the same color family with slight variations in leather color, texture and different hw. I do use my B30 and B25 sellier (the final pic on the bottom) , both gold, in different situations. However, many feel differently and have for example, black birkins or kelly bags with diff hw. (I have a black barenia B30 and a Black box kelly retourne, and I almost never wear the latter) YMMV.

The 35 trim II and the 32 HaC, ghw (4th pic) are Fauve smooth barenia. The rest are epsom, swift, hunter, clemence,* etc. The swift 30B in pic 1,2, and the 7th looks more matte than it is IRL.

*The TGM picotin is Clemence pebbled leather. I rehomed my 32 HAC years ago bc the ghw made me feel like a Ralph Lauren ad, preppy and conservative. I don’t regret that, and I do have some color combos in GHW, just not in gold lol. JMO

ETA this pic bc I thought it might perhaps show the color variation more clearly

Beautiful bags and they all look fab on you. The trim is so cool. I have a black one and am smitten by yours.

Is that a Barenia Birkin in noir in the second photo?
 
Since I have to photograph everything for insurance today anyway, here are the black bags (H only). (I do not normally spend my weekends photographing bags LOL.)

Kelly 28 Chèvre Mysore, GP 36 Negonda (flopping over in the back!); Kelly 28 Togo; Birkin 35 Togo; Birkin 30 Chèvre Mysore; and Mini Kelly Sellier Box Calf. (Not pictured: Noir Clemence Evie 29.) In late 2022 my SA ordered "No more black!" and so far I have complied :angel:
My goodness!! You have us all drooling. Btw @QuelleFromage I have to thank you for posting about that Barenia Kelly on collector square. Thanks to you, I scooped it up and am eagerly awaiting her delivery.

I eyed that one as well - because I have its twin and it is amazing! One of my favourite ever bags! I hope it arrives soon and you enjoy it as much as I do!

She just arrived today! I’m thrilled with her condition too although I will take her to the spa for a nice refresher.
Please share your Kelly @Goldenbelle !
