Just for accuracy, Hermesgroupie posted this in 2006:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/reference-hermes-groupie-s-leather-book.49095/#post-903365

I myself posted it in 2009:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/hermes-and-word-play.446635/#post-10503399

And it was @BBC, not @ladysarah, who noted it recently:

Credit to @ladysarah for pointing out in another thread that Gulliver was discontinued and replaced by swift, possibly named so after the author of Gulliver’s Travels Jonathan Swift!

This thread should either be made a part of the original Reference thread or at least moved to the reference forum.

Sorry, was trying to say I know and I’m sorry, but was on my phone at work earlier and it appeared in the middle of your post. I can’t edit it now unfortunately.. or if I can I can’t see how :sad:

Wow, thanks all for the wonderful trivia!

Quoting @navicular on this one:

Taurillon Cristobal
According to my SM, it's a reference to Cristóbal Colón, the Spanish version of Christopher Columbus' name.
At around the same time Hermes released another leather whose name has spanish influence - sombrero
Might it have to do with where the skins are sourced? I don't know and neither does he.

I was told that Cristóbal is named after Balenciaga.
