Looks Clemence?

I don’t think that it is. It looks different when I place it next to one of my Clemence bags. The grain is larger.

It seems to have a some slight veins as well. If it’s too old to be Togo, perhaps Fjord?

This seems like a very reasonable guess to me based on the vein look plus the bigger grain size comment. As long as it’s made during Fjord’s time I would guess it too!

Hi. Still hoping someone can identify this leather for me. Thanks.

It looks like Fjord to me.

It looks like Fjord to me.

I purchased it about 15 years ago. Would the timing be correct?

Would really appreciate some eyes on the color and leather for this bag. It's a 1990 circle T noumea. I've seen a lot of noumeas in courchevel, but this doesn't look like courchevel to me. Bababebi was kind enough to authenticate it on the authenticate thread.

Thank you!

I agree with bababebi, Veau Gulliver colour Gold. I LOVE this leather!

Thank you so much!! I've heard such good things about Gulliver so I'm super excited.

Yes 15 years ago there are Fjord bags. I think that's probably it!

Actually, I just checked the stamp. I purchased it in 2006. Thanks for your help!

yep 2006 also has fjord

it’s a very nice leather! Can be heavy but incredibly sturdy and does not need to be babied. Enjoy your bag

Hi guys, I’m thinking of getting a B35 since I tend to carry a lot these days. I have spotted a pre-owned kiwi B35 at a very good price. Do you think kiwi is too bright? I do not want to pamper this bag so I care about price more than color but if it is too difficult to use daily than I’ll pass

I wear mostly black and other neutrals so kiwi would give me a pop of color which I love doing. Even if I wore colorful clothing as long as kiwi doesn't clash with them I would feel comfortable in carrying a colorful b. I guess it depends what your color palette is and how comfortable you are. Not to helpful. LOL Sorry!

Looking for help on why the strap I custom ordered for my Ardennes Ebene Kelly doesn’t match my Kelly? ): I ordered from the Hermes store, and my Kelly had to be sent to Paris for them to confirm they had the leather on hand to make the strap since it’s long discontinued.
Why does it look so different?

In your situation I suggest you take this up with your Hermes store.

Can someone advise as to whether this color is chocolate or ébène please.
