The current colors in box are Black, Bleu Saphir, Rouge H, Brique, and Vert Fonce. Vert Foncé was produced in the smallest quantity for a particular event, but they have been trickling in stores outside France lately. I have only heard of thé Vert Foncé being produced for the Kelly with gold hardware. I definitely have my eyes set on a Vert Foncé, but I am unsure if it even is possible.

I was offered a Black and hinted to a Rouge H all in the Kelly 28 size. I find the mini Kelly to be too small, but was told that I could more easily get a mini Kelly in box in an array of colors.

Fun fact, I learned that out of 100 Birkin and Kelly produced, only 3 are made in heritage leathers.

Does that mean that out of 100 only three in Box, Barenia etc? What other heritage leathers are there?

There's also Rouge Piment and Bleu de Prusse for Box.

Are they currently in production? The colors I listed are the ones I’ve personally seen or heard of recently being sold/available by my SAs. Bleu de Prusse Box is such a dream, but I assumed it was out of production?

Last saw Rouge Piment was around Dec 2022/early Jan 2023 this year. My apologies as Bleu de Prusse isn't as current.

Thank you for this helpful info, @J’adoreHermes ! Speaking of Vert Foncé Box, my Trim 31 just came back from the H spa, along with a Kelly Sport in Bleu Saphir Box, and once again I am amazed by the beauty of the work they do on this gorgeous leather. I got to chat a bit with artisan who spa’d my bags and she said that Box is far and away her favorite leather to work on…

All 25's I assume? It's WAY too much to hope for anything like a 32 or even 28, but I've got to ask

I'm really annoyed with H regarding this tiny bag trend that's been going on for a while, they should also make bigger bags, as they have always done, for people (like myself) who like big bags. Unless you SO a Birkin 35 and wait as long as it take, you can't find a BK 35 or a K 32 in store for love or money :annoyed: I'm so glad I got my 35 BKs in Box and Barenia 15 years ago when they were the main size available.

I absolutely agree, @duna ! People seem to have forgotten that the original, classic B and Ks came only in those larger sizes! Grace Kelly could never have covered up her “condition” with a mini K, right? Someday the 32s and 35s will come back, and we’ll be glad we hung on to ours :yes:
