That's a spectacular bag, sydspy!! It's amazing how supple box is in a large bag, no?

sydspy - I love the patina on your box calf ? How long have you had your bag ? Everytime I look at the box, I keep telling myself to get a vintage one just for the patina.

I find the new "reissued" box thinner and more supple even in a smaller size. My N stamp 30cm box birkin is noticeably softer and has more give than my K stamp box kelly. Feels silkier to the touch too!

VS, agree.
My 2008 box (reissued then, i think) is just slightly thinner than early 2007 box.
