Hi,

I’m new here and was hoping to get members’ opinions. I purchased this bag recently and received it a few days ago. It was sold as Gulliver and is stamped G in a square. I had it authenticated by Bababebi who at first thought it might be Chamonix or Vache Natural but went with Gulliver in the end. Do you agree?

I am also used to seeing white stitching on gold bags but this bag has tonal stitching. Is it possible it is a different color?

Bababebi said that white stitching on vintage bags can fade to beige. Anyone else have that experience? The color of the stitching is pretty uniform throughout the bag, inside and out.

I will ultimately take the bag to Hermes to get their opinions but was hoping to check in here first. Thank you for your help!

I agree that the leather is Gulliver and that the white stitching has darkened from a possible cleaning or conditioning with a leather product. Here is a Gulliver Birkin on Fashionphile, and the surface texture of the leather is extremely similar to yours. Also, its white stitching has faded a bit to a more beige color. Admittedly, the bag is six years older than yours, but you can see the similarities.

Thank you for responding! The interior pockets of the bag also has the same color stitching. None of the stitches are white. (If they do look white or whiter, it is the lighting. IRL the stitches are all brownish beige). If I didn’t know any better it really looks like the thread is the original thread. But that’s impossible right?

There is no residue whatsoever on the stitches. They are absolutely clean and uniform in color. Even the stitching where the flap connects to the back body is the same color. And I would think it would be difficult to get to that area.

Hello everyone! I bought a Mini Evelyne at the Heathrow Hermes store a couple days ago. It’s a rich chocolate brown. I immediately bought it without asking the color and leather. The receipt doesn’t say either. I’m thinking the color is Rouge Cassis. Would love your opinion!

Considering when you bought this (i.e. what color is in production) this is Rouge Sellier.
