Curious about what leather this is. The reseller said Veau Chamonix, but another TPFer said maybe Vache Naturalle. It is a Museau from 2000. It is thick and stiff, waxy finish. On the corners, there is no color loss. There is no foil in the name stamp, just plain embossing.

Would appreciate any info!

Beautiful bag! H does do its Barenia Fauve bags with the non-foiled stamp & the white contrast stitching, & it’s a leather that can indeed have a waxy finish (which I find irresistible!). So maybe that’s what this is. I’ll be curious to hear what more experienced & knowledgeable TPFers have to say….

Thank you. I am new to Hermès and thought Clemence is on the softer side. This bolide is somewhat sturdy. Thanks again!

If not clemence, maybe togo. Clemence is on the relatively softer side, however in new/unused condition, it may not be very slouchy. Do you know exact year of bag? I know you said circa 2000, so I’m guessing the dustbag pictured isn’t original.

I also thought togo because it's on the sturdier side. The box and dust bag it came with were from other bags I believe as the brown/dark beige velveteen were from previous years based on what I read. The stamp on the bag is d square (2000). If I am not mistaken , I think the dust bag that time was the orang one but I also read in older threads that sometimes that dust bags can vary from one store to the other.

Such a neat bag! Never seen it in this leather before. Based on the resin (or seemingly lack thereof), I want to say it’s VN. The patina and some other factors are evidence that it likely isn’t barenia.

Yep, maybe togo then based on that. Togo will get slouchy overtime too (like clemence), so I’m guessing the previous owner rarely (if ever) used this bag. And yes, dustbag was orange around this time, though not for much longer. Lovely bag!

Thanks! From my reading, since it is very stiff, I think it is VN as opposed to Berenia too. I love this leather! It just has a wonderful glow/feel/presence. I would love to see/touch a Barenia bag too, since I think I would like it too.
