It looks like it could be Prune to me. But I’ve no idea which year Prune was available or if it came in this model. Hopefully an expert will come along soon!
I agree, looks like Prune, or possibly Havanne, although I don't think Havanne was around much then.
I think it could be Havanne , or does anyone think it could be Rouge H ?
Either way its a gorgeous colour!

Thanks guys! I compared it to some bags off fashionphile both Havane & Prune...and it definitely looks more like Prune with the reddish/purple undertone. Havane was pulling more reddish/brick orange undertone.

Agreed, although I just think Havane is darker, not redder; here are my Prune Toolbox in Swift and (used to be mine) Havane Kelly in Evergrain.

Ahhh...thank you so much, yeah your Evergrain Havane is darker in comparison to fashionphile pic, could be lighting as well or different dye lots? Anyhoo, thank you soooo much :smile:

My Polochon looks closer to this Prune Evercolor Toolbox like your swift one. So excited!

1956 Kelly...Rouge H? Or was there another red available then? I haven’t found much about H bags this age.View attachment 5082201
It sure looks like Rouge H but for this time period it's a paging @bababebi moment, as some colors had quite different names (I have a 1952 Kelly that is "Gold" but looks like today's Noisette).
 
This Kelly was sold to me as a 32 Togo. It is actually a 35. The leather is so soft, I have never felt or seen anything close to it. I wonder if the seller got the type of leather incorrect. I was thinking Clemence, but now I am thinking Fjord. It has a larger matte grain, feels smooth vs rough, has some veins, is supple and flexible, and is light weight. I have been disappointed in my search for another Togo bag, because none so far have had this delicious texture:C0078C41-0EEF-407F-BAD3-0C0B3EF041F5.jpeg
