Thank you as always :smile:
I think I am settling to Gold (main) and Nata in multico.
What color do you think it looks good on gold and Nata ?

For me, personally, a contrast stitch on multico can be too much unless it’s a bigger bag. Naturel or Blanc could be interesting as it would only show on the Gold. But, if I had to choose one, I would choose a pink. Pink looks amazing on both gold and cream. (I have a Fauve and pink stitch bag in this thread, and you’ve seen the couple recent SOs with pink on Nata, they look great.)

Thank you! I am looking at pinks.
Can I have pink on gold, and tonal (Craie) to Craie? Or does it need to be either contrast (color A used on B, B used on A) or tonal only?

Bleu Électrique is one of my absolute favorite H colors (and the orange stitching is an inspired choice—adore! what a gorgeous bag!); I wish the Bleu Électrique saturation/brightness didn’t vary between leathers, however. I think (I flatter myself…) that I can tell, but just for confirmation and to avoid looking an idiot, which leather is this SO? Really brings out the brilliant tones.

It’s Epsom. I would prefer Chevre but it wasn’t an option for Kelly Sellier at that time (a-la-carte in December 2017) in Brussels. I love this color in Epsom, a very bright and cheerful blue.

Goedemorgen / Bonjour to you & your bag :) (Korean-Vlamingen but my Flemish is atrocious…) I agree, your color choice is so marvellously cheerful and joyful (& unique, but chic!) I thought Epsom, as it has one of the more saturated Électrique I’ve seen IRL; I’m sorry you didn’t get your first choice of chèvre, although the Epsom holds the color beautifully! Ridiculously elegant...
I’m far from being an SO buyer, just deliberating on choices for standard items in blue shades with leathers available. Yet I can admire your special order craft respectfully! It’s art <3

Goedemorgen! I’m ashamed to say that I still don’t speak fluent Dutch yet, despite having moved to Belgium (Flemish region) from Singapore for more than 20 years.

I am not a VIP client at Hermes for sure, I guess I was just lucky on the day when I went to purchase some scarfs in 2017. I didn’t expect to be offered SO at all. Nevertheless, I was super excited to be able to choose from the box full of leathers and hardware, etc. It was a very nice experience. However, I never hear from my SA if my SO was approved at all. In fact, I’ve given up hope until I received a phone call from Hermes in November of 2020 that my SO has arrived. It was during Covid lockdown and the boutique was closed. I had the privilege of having the bag delivered to my door by their chauffeur! It was an incredible and unforgettable experience as it became a present from my hubby for my 50th birthday in December :blush: :love:

My color choice for this SO was actually inspired by my Medor watch with bamboo color strap & gold hardware; and also one of the new scarfs I purchased on that day. I will share some photos of my SO.
The specs are:
Epsom Sellier K28 in Bleu Electrique and Vert Vertigo, Orange Stitching and Gold Hardware.

Thanks for letting me share my “joy” of turning 50 during an unexpected pandemic :smile:
