Looks like Togo to me. Different batches of leather can have differing hand feel just like a person’s skin is unique despite being the same family or ethnicity etc.
ETA I also don’t think Etain was ever made in Fjord, but could have missed it.

I've been stalking this guy for a while and it's listed as Clemence leather, but, to me, it looks like it might be togo? I'm certainly not an H leather expert, but I've done my share of research. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

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:View attachment 5088485

I agree with Togo. Pretty sure it's not Fjord. The grains looks different on Fjord.
 
Which year? It actually looks like Tosca to me, but flash changes everything.If it's current, Anemone.
Here’s a photo taken in natural light. It’s 2018 I believe. Now that you mentioned tosca it might be but I’m not sure if tosca was offered in chèvre that year. .... I was thinking either RP or anemone (but it doesn’t look as purple)

Was Tosca offered as a SO that year? It appears to have contrast stitching and piping and it is chevre, so wouldn’t it likely be a SO?
 
Yes it is an uncollected SO due to covid situation. My SA isn’t sure herself what color this is as well and it wasn’t stated on the box.

This looks like Rose Pourpre and that fits the year if it's an A La Carte. Beautiful!
