Such a beautiful bag!
I love the really dark chocolate with Silver hardware.
and I love its slouchiness (I'm a slouchy Jane Birkin's Birkin style fan)

Yes yes yes that is exactly what I thought. I didn’t buy the bag immediately but went for an hours long walk across the St Germain area in Paris and encountered so many stylish women and couldn’t stop thinking about the B35. It felt soooo Jane to me, and so I rushed back and bought it :) I love love love it, its condition is just perfectly broken in

To me, this looks darker than café, so I think it’s chocolat. I also feel like this may be clemence instead of togo based on the slouchiness of the bag. Hope this helps!

Oh thank you. tbh that would b even better because I do own a bleu nuit B30 in Togo with GHW that I was offerEd in the H store in Milano 1 year ago. So to branch out, is a super cool surprise thank you for your help

Hi everyone!!! I have a trim ii from 1974 here. Has anyone seen this stamped leather before? The stamping looks quite similar to Toile So H, but I've never seen this on leather!

I've never seen H leather stamped like this, but I have definitely seen this motif before. Hermès did some lighters that had a really similar "H" design like this in the 60s and then more recently they used this motif for their "cage d'h" jewelry collection. I'd recommend asking someone like @perlerare or @bababebi about this bag.

I’m considering this B35 on the resale market, the colour is listed as GT but based on the resin and the year of production could it be argile? Thanks in advance for any insights!

Please be sure to have this authenticated. Bababebi comes highly recommended and she can also give an opinion to the offical Hermes color, if deemed authentic…

Thanks for the reply! I do intend to seek bababebi’s opinion if I decide to buy this bag, had previously engaged her services to authenticate two Kellys (both deemed authentic). I am on the fence on this B35 as I think I’m unlikely to use such a large bag in a light colour often, but I love argile and am looking to get it in a different leather, hence wanted to seek opinions on the colour before deciding whether to proceed further. Maybe I’ll get it authenticated just to satisfy my curiosity

Assuming this bag has not been altered after market and that the lighting in these photos accurately depicts the listed item, this is neither GT nor Argile.
