Gosh this is a hard leather to get good pictures of! I am starting to think the exterior is an off-black perhaps? Colour is even, underside of the flap and clochette also match the exterior, so I don't believe it has faded. It is a B35 from 2010. Next to black box HAC it is definitely softer and matte with a sheen where the box is glossy.

Interior with flash. Black box clochette on top. The flash brings out the blue but IRL it is darker, more navy

No idea about the interior, but could the exterior be Plomb perhaps?

That doesn't look like Tadelakt to me at all.
I think it's too early for Plomb but could this be a very dark Bleu Indigo bag?

Agreed - this matches my Bleu Indigo Evergrain Cityhall briefcase.

An off-black with an almost petrol iridescence of blue to it, with only the chèvre lining really giving away it's a deep sultry blue rather than Noir.

Gosh, the mystery thickens! Thanks so much for your suggestions.
I tried a picture of the exterior with flash to see if it would reflect blue but it didn't work under LED light. Under 4000k LED the exterior is very difficult to describe, almost like it has a bronzish iridescence. My husband was not helpful, he said it looks kind of brown. :whut: She seems to be a chameleon. Off to search for Plomb and the leather threads.

hmm this will be tough - photos aren’t enough sometimes to distinguish these two leathers esp if they’re not done in good lighting!
Maybe post photos once you get them .
Have both - noir box and rouge H chamonix ! And chamonix is smoother and thinner a tad bit while box is shinier and thicker ! ❤️

Hi all! I just purchased this on TRR (I generally am very careful buying from them, but this combo doesn't come around often so I pounced). It was listed as Box, but I'm wondering if it is actually Chamonix. Unfortunately I prefer the sheen of box over Chamonix, although I guess the matte does give it a less formal vibe. It hasn't arrived yet. What say you?

Appreciate colour varies on lighting, but would anyone offer an opinion on this one, please? The bag is a B40, dates from 1994 and is extremely hard wearing, no signs of slouch or patination despite having travelled the world. The leather of the handles is somewhat smoother, but exactly the same colour. The bag came from Haute Gallery over ten years ago, but I lost the email trail when I changed ISPs a long time back.

Thanks in advance
