It is

I agree it looks more like Raisin, but TRR does think it is Cassis and given how photos can deceive that is worth considering.

Good point. I also find their descriptions often miss the mark a little (or a lot!) but it is being in their local store so worth checking out. I have never bought from them in person and don't know if all stock is on display or if they'll bring it out to let me check the date stamp etc. but sounds like it is best to investigate in person. Thank you!

If you are in the area, I would DEFINITELY ask to see the bag. If it is available for pickup, they will show it to you. The date stamp is (obviously) a pretty key piece of info ;)

Thank you QuelleFromage. I've never bought from them in person and had no idea if they'd show things that aren't on display. It's not in the closest store but definitely a doable range. Thank you!

Ok so this is totally random. My mom who’s not into luxury fashion at all came visit last night and showed me this Bearn wallet she got from her sister who’s a HUGE Hermes fans. Because of the pandemic, my mom hasn’t been able to visit her family in Hong Kong for awhile now. But like many Asian moms who still prefer Asian goodies that aren’t available in the U.S., mom asked aunt to help her buy some random Japanese home goodies etc. in HK. I guess my aunt has a change of heart about her wallet after a few uses so she casually threw this in the package as well (btw, as a Chanel girl I don’t know much about H, but a quick google search tells me that this Z stamp wallet is from this year so it’s basically brand new)! Mom had no idea what Hermes is and asked if it’s as expensive as Louis Vuitton lol I looked up the retail price of this wallet on Hermes Canada website (can’t find it in #ostrich on the U.S. site) and mom FREAKED OUT big time about the $$$$. Anyway, mom asked me if I want it since she doesn’t like long wallet (and now that she knows the price she was like there’s no way I would use something that $$$). But I also don’t like long wallet (though this beauty is very tempting!). So I think I’ll help mom sell it. But before I start my market research with resellers, gotta take a nice pic and post since I doubt I’ll ever have another chance to touch an Hermes exotic leather good IRL

Anyway, since Aunt didn’t send it with anything (box, dust bag or whatever tag), I have no idea about the name of the color or how much it can be sold for (I’ve been scammed before on eBay so I’ll just sell or consign with one of the resellers like FASHIONPHILE or TRR etc.). I tried to look online but the prices are all over the place on the second hand market! Any H experts out there who can give me more info? At least the name of the color? Thanks!!

Gris Agate maybe? Please have it authenticated (that's not a comment on anything I see in the photo per se, just that you don't have a provenance for it). Good luck!

Since I’m not selling it myself and will go through a reseller, no reseller will take it for consignment or buy from me without authentication. Thanks for the color name by the way.

This is actually not at all true. They will usually accept the item for consignment via photos and then authenticate themselves (or try to). Sorry for the off topic, but again this is not accurate whatsoever.
Moving on. GL with your sale.

Do you mean the authentication done by resellers like AFF or FASHIONPHILE is not reliable then? If so, who do you recommend to authenticate Hermes items? Or before I do anything I should actually ask my aunt just to be sure since she’s my aunt and to my knowledge she buys all her H items from Hermes boutique herself and never pre-loved….

I just received a new to me, Chevre Bleu Paon Kelly Retourne 32, and wanted to find out what type of chevre leather you guys thought this was. It's from 2008 and I wasn't sure if this was chevre mysore because it seemed the bag is stiffer.

The spine is probably even more prominent without the photo glare, so likely CDC.

Thank you for the reply!
The funny thing is there doesn't seem like there any CDC spine at all. So that's why I didn't think it was CDC.

I hate to venture into speculation; since I personally only have CDC and Mysore. Could it possibly be mangalore? That seems to have been released in 2008 and from the comments has a minimal spine compared to CDC. Maybe it’s just the photo, but I see a spine in your first photo and with my Mysore I cannot really see one at all.

does anybody have a bag in chevre mangalore?

or even maybe in a small leather goodie. my SA it's more plastic-ky (and says she doesnt like it) looking than the other chevre we all love. care to share a picture? thanks a lot in advance! :smile1:
