Hello my Dears,
I bought this Kelly pochette (at an extortionate margin, brand new, because my local store said they have 2-3 yrs long waiting lists - wow). I am so excited, because i love the color. It turns out it was a horseshoe one - I am wondering why? Can you see it from the photo? Is it maybe a PBHW? thanks a lot! xxx

The stamp just means it’s a special order. It is (or at least has been) possible to order a completely “standard” bag. There doesn’t have to be anything creative about it other than the orderer wanted this specific configuration and the store didnt think they’d be able to obtain it through standard stock. People have been known to order single color black with GHW bags even though it’s a classic normal combination just because its what they wanted and the store didn’t have any to sell them. That being said, it appears to be epsom leather and Epsom leather KPs are rare these days so that is perhaps why.

thanks so much for taking the time to reply! Yes it is epsom which is indeed rare. Do you think it is brushed gold hardware? it looks like “simple gold” though...
many thanks!

I thought I read on one of the SO forms that it was not allowed to order a standard bag through SO. Am I imagining this?
