Love your little rainbow.
I have doubts about that too. But the leather does not feel like tadelakt on my other birkin which is much softer and buttery. I will probably have it identified.

Duna, are there scratches on your Box B's? How do you keep them looking so perfect and flawless? Or were they spa'd recently?

I am enjoying looking at everyone's box photos but I don't see a single scratch on any of them.

Yes they're full of scratches, especially the newer ones that aren't as patinated as the older ones.

Both your Kellys are lovely, even if the Beige turns out not to be box, it still looks crisp and chic.
