MrsS, I'm thinking black ostrich (not matte) birkin in 35 cm with PH. If you have any ideas, please let me know. I'm still mulling on it. :shame: I have a week to finalize the SO.
When I saw the lady with it, I was so spellbound by its beauty that the image of her black ostrich never left me. The subtle sheen is just fabulous. I guess shiny is really not the right word to describe it.

lilach, thanks for all your help. 
You are absolutely correct with Ostrich. I had a very lengthy phone conversation with my SA and she said that all Ostrich comes with a subtle sheen. If I want Matte, it has to be requested for specifically. In the leather book, it's Autruche (Ostrich with the natural subtle sheen) and Autruche Mat (which is Matte). She said to maintain the sheen, I can send it in yearly for a deep cleaning and polish or if not, dust collects on the bag and it looks Matte aka Dirty
Thanks again for clarifying this point on Ostrich for all of us.

Ah yes, a beautiful patina along with a subtle sheen is what I love

lilach & AirMess, I have been coming back to this thread to check for more updates. This has been a very informative thread. I learnt something new from tPF again. THANK YOU BOTH!
Am trying to attach two photos of My Ostrich Kelly
One taken in bright sunlight just after polishing at Hermes
the other taken in not so bright sunlight again just after polishing
I think also being cognac in color this could have an effect as black does absorb light
I was told yesterday at hermes that I could not order Ostrich now in Black ( that might of been the brill Sa thinking nooooooo better to have gold not sure)
