Can someone please help identify this kelly? It's the kelly 28, and from the 1990s. It looks like courchevel (but the seller swears it is epsom). Just want to know the color name!

As others have noted- Courchevel or possibly Veau Grain Lisse, not Epsom ( which was introduced in WAY after). Can't tell from the photo, but Courcheval has a bit of a larger grain , and will have a bit darker pigment at the top of the grain (not that I am ANY type of expert on this). And again- evaluate the seller.
BUT- in addition to brique, might consider etrusque ( seems a bit less red than brique and less brown than sienne, although, again, as has been noted, the lighting always makes it difficult. If you know the date code, you could possibly research which colors where available that year - truly a deep dive.

Hi all, I want to confirm that my gulliver birkin is indeed gulliver. Someone mentioned to me that it may be evercalf. I assumed gulliver as that's how the seller listed it. Before this, I have never had gulliver or evercalf so curious....Also it is either a B or D stamp(always forget which is my box and which is this one) if that helps!
