I would get another ostrich in a heart beat. It is so lovely especially as H does colors so well.

This is beautiful, ostrich ghillies.

Here is my violine ostrich with gold hardware...about 10 years old. Would love to add a kelly ostrich to my collection at some point.

I ostrich. My favorite was a 35 black Birkin she went everywhere with me. Then a 30 orange B but was so afraid to carry. Now my new love is a blue sapphire 35 B that I adore. I normally don’t use twillies but use them with her. Any suggestions for something other than a twilly ?

I use silk or velvet ribbon.

Would like to share with you my second NTM vintage Ostrich: B35 in Vert Veronese! Depending on the light, the colour differs:

Thank you so much! - The scarf is called “Les Amazones“ designed by Jean-Louis Dumas, first release in 1976. Saw this also for the first time here on TPF some years ago - and went on a hunt immediately thereafter...!

Wow amazing! I may have to go on a hunt as well as it is the year I graduated HS at the risk of dating myself, but who I am kidding I am dated!!!

Would like to know why ?
Thanks

I likely would buy another one but in many ways I prefer the vintage birdies as compared to the new ones.

I have always wanted a MKII or CMINI in ostrich, preferably in pink or green. To test out the leather I purchased a Calvi in Rose Tyrien and have been using it since. I have noticed that the pores get darker with use and this sort of bothers me, therefore I am no longer sure whether I want a bag in ostrich, too bad I really liked this leather.

That is the nature of Ostrich & more so with colours.
I have an Ostrich 35 Kelly that has a wonderful patina & the handles do show a slight color
change, but it doesn't bother me because I love the natural color of Ostrich

How delicate is ostrich? I know that you should not expose it to water or direct sunlight anything else I should be looking out for?? TIA♥

Stay away from anything greasey. Always use twilleys unless your bag is black. stay out of the rain. It you have sweaty hands I would stay away from croc and birdie bags. I recommend H. spa treatments as recommended, especially if you live in a dry climate. Leather colors can oxidize in a dark closet with the best of care over time. My philosophy is use them carefully and sell while they are still in great condition.
