NOT a pro
I venture Clemence.
Not etoupe, as the stitching is not contrast.
The stitching has a bit of a yellowish cast to it (which may just be the lighting, but can happen over time), but that then perhaps implies a lighter, craie/beton/GT family. You'd need to look up what was offered that year.

Thanks Nymeria! :flowers:

I will have to figure out how to look up H colours back in 2002. :doh:

Might be my lighting re: stitching but it is a 20-year old bag. I'll see if I can take better outdoor pics for a bit more accurate pic.

Could our H pros please verify this leather/colour?

Clemence or Togo?
Etoupe or Gris Tourterelle? (Or another H grey?)

Date stamp is F/square so from 2002.

Thank you! ❤️

Under harsh lighting but still took this pic for texture. Does Clemence also get veining like Togo?

Not a pro either, but that's not Etoupe. To me it's Gris T or possibly Parchemin (the two photos look totally different, so.....). Also, looks like Clemence.

bleu marine is one of Hermès's oldest blue-black color. it's from the 70's and continued until the 2000's. I don't know if it was also available in 2006, though.
Thank you! I have a bag in this color also! It is in box so it is very dark but also looks a little more blue, if that makes sense. I will check to see if it was available in 2006, thanks!

@nicole0612

Bleu Marine goes back at least to the 1940s and was a classic. It was H's navy. Not sure if it was a classic in 2006 but if these pics of the K were taken in a light with no/little yellow it could be BM (which looks dark navy but with slightest greeny-tinge). You would never mistake it for black though.
