ODE to Box Calf

[LovingTheOrange]

It’s a new-to-me bag that I snatched from TRR! Prior to purchasing, I read through all the pages of this thread. Many other users have posted this style in the early 2000s this particular one is from 2005. It’s my first time seeing the bicolor box in size 25 so I had to buy it ASAP!

Chocolate Box and Cyclamen, Raisin Box and Cyclamen etc. It was a PO series just like today's Verso. So no Horseshoe.

Wow - box calf + purple (cyclamen) - 2 of my favorite traits when it comes to H!! Beautiful!

Thank you for identifying the purple for me!! I’ll be updating it in my OP. TRR said it was anemone -.- but I also say @periogirl28 say in another thread that TRR is always identifying wrong colors ahaha

Oh it wasn’t me. I don’t have any experience or purchase at all with TRR.

TRR is wrong so much of the time - there was no Anemone in 2005. Great bag!

I think you’re the one who wrote that about TRR! I always see you and @periogirl28 posting in the same threads I read ahaha. I don’t mind the incorrect color as long as it’s an authentic bag. Box calf is what sold me

Do you mind posting a modeling shot with your new baby? Thanks in advance.

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.

Thank you for the info, always eager to learn more about Hermès bags. This is why I like tPF. Someone always knows.

I LOVE it! You are so chic. I might pull my trigger for a B25 as a pacifier.

Hi all! I have a question about box leather bags for the experts out there - I posted this on my reveal thread too but no responses, maybe I am just being crazy. My new Kelly has marks that look like stripes, natural to the leather. I tried to capture them in the pics below, not sure I succeeded! Are they normal? Thanks so much.
