I see the spine for the noir which is consistent with CDC, and there were noir black CDC Kellys around 2007. Any close ups of the Indigo?

Thanks ms piggy! What colour chevre next do you think? :nuts: A 32 sellier would round off my collection... It's my SA's fault for telling me it's the best leather for colour (excluding ostrich) and best leather for toughness....

I think you should get a brighter/fun colour seeing the ones you have now are dark. Chevre takes colour really well. How about Fauve (richer than gold) if "fun" is not your cup of tea?

Here's juicyagogo's Fauve Chevre Mangalore HAC 32. It would be lovely as a Kelly too. I think a red chevre Kelly would be utterly stunning (ala Suzie's)!!

*sigh* Why did I fall in love (hard) with CDC & chevres only now, that they're rare? :crybaby:

Ms piggy, do you think there's any chance at all for chevre Birkins to be ordered from H store? Or should I settle for getting them from resellers?

Seems like we always want things that are difficult to attain isn't it, LOL! My understanding is that chevre Birkins are through Special Order only. If you are given the opportunity to SO a Birkin, please do so! You could also check with/make known to your SA regarding chevre HACs. There could be some leftover orders yet to make it to the store. Or look out for Chevre Mangalore HACs that are still trickling in from previous podium orders.

bags to die for said:
My collection of chevre.

Black PHW 28cm sellier Kelly
Indigo PHW 35cm sellier Kelly
Very well used violet bearn wallet, rose shocking calvi, vert anis PM karo and cyclamen passport holder.

I believe the small leathers are all Mysore but not quite sure of the Kellys!
The 35cm is pre owned and quite supple, the 28cm has only been used a couple of times and is still quite rigid.

LOVE LOVE LOVE your collection! absolutely would love to see more of it!

Here is my 35 raisin CDC with gold hardware and contrast stitching. Year is F in a square, so 2002. I have had her for a year and she is my go-to bag. I had to use a flash but you can see the spine of the leather...

And here is a closeup of the grain showing the salmony pink contrast stitching...
