Cross post from the “new Hermes purchase” thread. Too good not to share. Rouge H Box from the 60s. So good!

Congrats on such a beauty.
Vintage box leather is so stunning

Hi everyone! I’m cross-posting, but I just can’t help myself. I’m captivated by box leather. It’s such a timeless, heritage material, and I figured this is the perfect place to share the love with people who really get it. I know it’s not for everyone, but it totally has my heart.

Hi fellow ARMY! 💜 That's a stunning piece. I'm captivated by box leather too.

Borahae! Welcome to TPF. I’m actually going to see Jin tomorrow

And I need another Box Leather, would love a Rouge H Kelly 25 with palladium hardware someday….

Aren't all these bags just examples of how robust box calf is!
Perhaps one should add 'as it gets older'?
Just use them and enjoy them.
Thank you for all the posts.

Ooooh I'm so jealous! I hope you have the best time. I got to see Yoongi in LA for D-Day, but neither Hobi nor Jin are lining up with my life right now. Argh. And my OT7 comeback fund? Just went into a new house. At least I'll be closed by March (hello Bangtan debt...) A rouge Kelly 25 in box would be absolutely epic. It's the only Hermes silhouette I would consider. Apobangpo!

Beautiful !
I’ve just bought my third one!
Black selier birkin
Vert fonce
Rouge h
I love box!

@ari May I please know if the middle photo you posted above is all crafted in Box noir?

By process of elimination it looks as if it is may be the Vert fonce, however, it appears to me to be either K32 or K28 PHW. I have a vintage K32 noir GHW, but I am partial to PHW. Also, the body of your bag I am admiring appears it may be crafted in a different material than Box noir. The body looks darker in color to me than the flap. Absolutely stunning, whatever it may be. Would you please clarify it for me?

Yes, it’s very fonce , 28 , PHW. The color changes in different lighting, it has some gold glow in sunlight.
I actually prefer 32, but 28 is ok.

32 is my favorite size also. I have larger (too heavy) and smaller (they don’t store enough for me) but 32 is my Goldilocks “just right “size. ♥️

A 30 in box starts at $20,000 in store. Maybe $18K?
