Can someone tell me what leather and size this bag is? I’m guessing either a box calf or a barenia but it seems to slouchy to be a box calf but then again it is old

That’s a size 40 (she tagged it herself as such on her Instagram) but the video is just not clear / close up enough for me be confident about the leather…as in, maybe it’s just my bad eyesight but I can’t actually tell for certain if that’s smooth or grained (which would obviously change my guess) either way it’s very lovely to see a well used bag! Given she said she got it in 1985, Box (not Barenia) if smooth and Ardennes if grained would be my guess.

It’s smooth not grained. You don’t think it could be a barenia? I’m looking to buy either or but I don’t want the structured looks so I figured barenia would be more relaxed and slouchy

I agree with @momoc re: size. Given the year and general appearance of the bag, this is Box Calf. Box Calf can become slouchier with time, this is especially true of a retourne, workhorse bag like Evangelista's.

Hi everyone,
I am not sure if it is the right place, but I have a question.
I saw a pre-loved Kelly, was told she had been authenticated. The colour is Toundra, but I have my doubts. What skin is it?

Thanks in advance.

Do you know the production year for this item? It seems pre-2000s to me, so I doubt the colour is Toundra. The leather looks like Veau Grainé.

I was told the bag is 10 y o

The year of manufacture would be inside the strap, I’m surprised they did not give you that exact information.

I’m guessing this seller is not very familiar with Hermès items. They may have acquired the bag ten years ago, but it is without a doubt much older than that. Anyway, this bag is Gold Veau Grainé in my opinion. Rare piece, probably from the late 90s.

Hi fellow TPFers, I would be very grateful if you could help me identifying this H model. It was described as ‘Deauville bag’ but I am not sure… many thanks!
