Hi all - this is on TRR swift leather Bolide 27. Can anyone help me identify the color please? I’m hoping it is etain. TRR refers to it as “brown”. View attachment 5108531View attachment 5108531

TRR is pretty bad with Hermès. Can you send the link? This could be Étain but it's so green in these photos....looks more like Vert de Gris. Personally I don't know if VdG was available in Swift that year, but someone will know.

Oh 2019...from the screenshot I thought it was 2010. I can't come up with a color this could be in 2019 except Etain...anyone?

Etain varies a LOT by dye lot, so it may be hard to closely match your boots via a bag you can't see in person. A simple example is that one dye lot of Etain would be clearly seen as grey and one as brown. I suggest calling and asking for an exception on the no return policy before you buy, if you decide to try it.

This looks like a normal Vert Amande Epsom Sellier Kelly. I don’t see any white stitches but perhaps I am misunderstanding your question.

I mean I saw allt contrast stitching more than same stitches with leathers. Same stitches with leathers bag, is that special order bag in order?

The majority of Kellys have stitching the same color as the leather. Contrast stitching is standard with a few colors, like Gold and Etoupe. So no, you're not seeing special orders if the stitches match, in most cases.
