Lovely bag, but I don't think it is chevre. Perhaps Evergrain? What year is it, and then you can see what leathers were available then.
The design is great, and who can resist a back pocket?

Thank you how do I find the year? It is a think leather with very small pebbles.

I honestly do not know this bag, so don't know where the date stamp would be. Whoever authenticated it would know.

I agree, not chevre.

It does kind of look like my Evergrain Kelly but without a date it would be hard to say.

I found the date code. I believe the bag is from 1994. I purchased it from The Real Real and found an old listing that seems to be the same bag. That listing describes the leather as Evercalf. Does that look right?

First of all, huge thanks to the wonderful, generous, and helpful folks in this H community that help us on our journeys to our vintage beauties.

Let me introduce my 1960s chocolate box calf Kelly. I’d been looking for the perfect vintage K and just so happened to come across this beauty with my very own initials—my unicorn bag. Ugh, I could have cried …

Once I had @bababebi authenticate her and she arrived safely from Paris, she needed some much needed TLC—boy, was she dry. Looking for alternative solutions to the H Spa, I discovered the famous @docride and her YouTube channel (can we talk about her videos and how she’s the Bob Ross of luxury handbags??).

I decided to send Doc a couple bags for a facelift, including my K; she brought her back to life (even getting rid of the smell), sourced and dyed a strap to match, and upgraded my clochette.

Here she is in all her (new-to-me) glory. So, so in love. (Who doesn’t love a good before/after?!)

This bag is absolutely stunning. Time stopped for me. It just shows how special H as a heritage brand truly is. I love vintage bags.

Is it just me but when I saw Lady Gaga's Versace gown at the Oscar's, my first thought was hmmm... the front "clasp" reminds me of my sac Malle Poste clasp!

I love my vintage H bags but I wish I get to wear them more often. I actually use my Dalvy more than my Sac Malle Poste. I think the latter competes with other similar design H bags in my collection (Roulis and C), which I tend to reach out for more often, unfortunately.

We seem to have similar tastes in bags. I have a Roulis as well. What size do you have. I dont have a C but it is on my wishlist for this year. Would you mind posting a picture of your Hermes family? Your other bags are beautiful. Thanks
