Thank you!! The dalvy started me H obsession and I still smile when I see it! My Kelly is a Rouge H. She's from 1965!!!

1965! That’s amazing. An SA once told me that Rouge H has changed a lot over the years. Yours looks brighter and less cranberry-toned than more recent (but still vintage) versions. Really beautiful, thanks for sharing!

I can FINALLY contribute to this thread with my b25 :) Blue indigo box calf with anemone piping and interior. BI is a very dark blue and looks black in almost all lighting. I’m so in love with the look and feel of box WOW.

I definitely want to add different ages of box to my collection. I found many vintage ones in good condition via Japanese vintage shops. Off to ban island to start saving for my next bag~

I already admired this bag in another thread and it’s so special with the contrast piping and lining, to my surprise it doesn’t have the SO stamp even though it looks like a SO. Huge congrats![emoji3]
 
Yes. Might it pre-date the use of the SO horseshoe?

It is possible. I don’t know when Hermès started to use the horseshoe stamp. A very interesting question and perhaps someone can chime in. As we all know box is not available for SO at the moment, so seeing a box bag like the above is most interesting.

It is not SO. H used to release box birkins with pink-ish lining and piping, some years ago, ready to be bought from stores. Here's DiamondS's chocolate box with cyclamen lining and piping from 2009.
