ODE to Box Calf

[QuelleFromage]

That is to did for.

And 41 years old!

They don't make it like that anymore - or so some would say.
There is something universal about box in that colour and bleu nuit

obviously did=die, but you realised that, I'm sure

I didn't realise Box came in Blue Nuit.

Thank you; good point.
I was thinking of Marine, or even de Prusse

I was offered a Box Kelly 28 earlier this year and it was over $13K USD before tax (I don't remember exact price). According to our price thread, Epsom Sellier 28 is $10,700 USD. Similarly, when the mini Kelly II came out, chèvre was $7700 USD but the Box calf one I bought was around $11K (I bought mine in London but my SM told me the US price).

So, like Barenia, it is not a trivial difference

There is always preloved

Congratulations and may I know how much more expensive the Box is comparing to Epsom (in % for example)? TIA.

I actually didn't manage to ask for the price of the Kelly Sellier in Epsom because I was still in complete shock on the offer, nor did I ask to see the Kelly in Epsom since it was in a dark green and I think a BBK is a classic (even though I have a 32 Kelly in Black too..)!
Looking at the price thread and doing a bit of cheeky exchange rate adjustments since there's nothing in £ in the price thread (so note that it's not 100% accurate), the Box Kelly is approx £2K more. So the difference is bigger than I expected. Hope this helps.

In Euros: Last year my Box K28 was 9100€ whilst my Epsom K28 was 7750€. So a price difference of 1350€. I am not sure what the Box K28 would be this year.

Edit to add: my B30 this year was a whopping 10400€ which I found surprising (well, shocking) given K28 and B30 prices are usually the same. Cannot imagine Box having increased so significantly but didn’t ask further.

Quick question: is it possible for the H spa to get indentation marks out of box leather? Eyeing a preloved bag in box which has a fairly sizable impression mark...

Honestly, I doubt it. The French consider impression marks as part of natural use and wear and not a defect as such. It’s a trophy mark, especially if made by a good bottle of Margeaux.

Just bought my first Hermes bag

navy blue box 1989 Tsako shoulder bag

the leather is in great condition !

I think it’ll outlive me

I’m aspiring to a Kelly…

Sharing my new to me Constance 23 in Raisin Box with hammered hardware from 2002. Been looking for a Kelly or Constance in Raisin Box for ages and nearly fainted when I saw this popping up. To me this is the most stunning colour-leather combination Hermès has ever come out with.

Agree love purple

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

Are push orders when they just send a bag to the boutique and you are lucky enough to be offered one?

Yes
If your SM thinks of you first when the bag arrives at the store.
That’s not luck. That’s a good store relationship.
