Vintage? Wanna talk vintage? 1952 Box calf 28 and not a loose stitch or a stain. She will celebrate 70 soon. As an Hermès artisan said to me, "this is a Kelly from before there was a Kelly!" Here with my other gold bags and on her own :love: I found her on an auction site and thought she was Rouge H but when she arrived she was this color, which Bababebi tells me is called Gold although it resembles today's Noisette. I love that this bag was on someone's arm four years before Grace Kelly needed to cover her "bump" :smile: The hardware is quite a bit smaller than modern hardware (you can see this in the group shot), the handle is rounder and lower, and the stamp is a bit different.
