Any ideas on what type of leather this might be? The pic is from the internet so not great res, but if anyone has a view I’d love to hear it!

I googled Hermes soft crossbody bag and came up with something called a todo bag or a milo bag, both of which were described as lambskin by the sellers. The todo has decorative stitching. I had no idea that Hermes did bags in lambskin, so perhaps someone else will chime in. If not lamb, another possibility might be swift ? I think color might be Havane or cafe or chocolat ? Here are the links (I am not representing these as authentic; they are simply what my basic search pulled up.

I also saw an Hermes caravan bag that looked like it could be the same leather as yours, but again not sure.
I am no expert on barenia, but I’ve owned at least two smooth patinated fauve barenia bags (HAC 32 and 35 Trim II) and both are more like chestnut; neither look anything like this color. I currently own a smooth ebene barenia picotin PM, and the underlying tone is cool, a bit reminiscent of marron fonce, and your bag color is warmer and lighter. My trim was more patinated, and it had a certain sheen, and was not spongy. My HAC was in less worn condition, and the barenia was thicker and more spongy. I also own a preloved floppy black barenia B30, and, at my request,
@docride spa ed it to be a bit more matte, but even when it was shinier, I think the leather seemed like less soft than your bag. Pic of my ebene pico and barenia B here:

JMO though, and again, I am no expert and could be entirely mistaken . You could perhaps post on
@docride ’s Lazarus thread, (including the link if you have it) if you don’t get more responses here.
I still think it’s Bleu Paradis which is a very pretty, light blue shade. It is similar to periwinkle but has more blue tones. Other details of the bag corroborate a likelihood of Bleu Paradis, as well.
