Hello Hon Hon and Israeli Flava

That is so interesting that you say you love Etoupe in SWIFT the best.
I am really intrigued as I've never seen Etoupe Swift, just in the Togo bag I had.
Is it really a dramatically different colour?
Now I look again, the swift etoupe leather does seem possibly a little lighter? (which is good in my opinion - more like GT).
I might broaden my hunt then...
I've just always just been worried about scratches and losing shape with Swift (?) hence the togo preference.

Really appreciate your advice, thank you so much!

I had my Etoupe swift Lindy with me at the boutique when they happened to have both Etoupe negonda GP and Etoupe clemence Victoria on display (taken under the dismal yellow store lighting). Etoupe swift has greyish and almost pinkish undertones which make it more beigey compare to other two Etoupes. The second photo shows (in natural day light) the same Etoupe swift Lindy with my Etoupe chèvre de crormondel which has a greenish cast.

My Lindy is nearly 9 years old, it is one of my most used and loved bags. There are minor scratches and marks here and there but by and large I'm truly impressed at how the leather held up including the corners. It retained its shape yet stayed smooshy and luxe.
