This is pretty, Jadeite! Congrats on this SO. Do you order from HQ? So far, I only know of someone who owns a RG swift.


I love Swift. My favourite color among of all swift is Pink, Griolet, Rosy and Lime. I like these hues because they're not straightforward colors. In swift, they are dreamy. Rose Dragee has been an all time classic. Irony when it first came out, many are not favouring. Hermes should release RD once more.

wish it was mine but it ain't. :D

I've seen some aged RD bags but they don't seem to mature well though.

Well the lindy is already a folded bag many like the almost cubic structure of the birkin as a flop lover I prefer the birkin to loose it's shape and be softer but lindys are soft to begin with also I think that the fear of scratches and marks on a birkin is more because the bag is based around the two major panels front and back the linty has no front back or major definition. This is just my logic darling but I must confess I love floppy birkins and do not like lindys so...........hope it helps as always .best.birkel.

I love swift in a Birkin. Love the soft matte finish. Makes a very square bag (a Birkin) someone how softer and more user friendly. The hand of swift is soft against your skin. Love the gentle slouch of a swift Birkin. Find this skin in a Birkin so yummy.
Love this picture of a funky and fun swift Birkin.

Ciel was also made in swift but was a seasonal color. I haven't seen anything in potiron swift but perhaps someone else knows more??

Ahhh so sorry Pierina, I just saw the post! Thanks, I think the true color of my orange swift hac is darker than the orange swift birkin depicted in the pictures. Unless these pictures were taken with flash, than mine would be about the same in color. I feel its very diffecult to capture the true color of orange swift, it either looks too light or too dark sometimes. I think I only have one picture that's closest to the real color. Must do a reveal soon!

My experience with Swift is, as Duna says, that of a leather very easy to care for, very resistant and with a beautiful natural patina.

Most of the people believe that it's a delicate leather which is the opposite of my experience. I don't know about the rain...

I have heard that it scratches ex on your finernails? do you find it needs a lot of maintenance, like does the leather crease a lot?
I really cant baby my bag. I love that swift is light weight, but Im a bit afraid of scratching it.
:D

Thank you!

For what is regarding my swift bags, I don't baby them very much but I still think that i can be considered a careful person, so I take care about them because I cherish them, but i don't get too paranoid. You also have to take into account that owning several bags means you rotate them, so it is not like if they were workhorses.

If it is a light color swift is going to be more fragile, just like any other leather, and this is also a point to keep in your mind if you are afraid that you will have to baby the bag.
