Dear Hermes experts, l need help to identify the leather of this Plume 28. It’s an F square stamp (2002), was listed by reseller as ‘Moka in Swift leather’. However the entrupy cert which l requested for says Box calf. There are hardly any grains on the leather as opposed to my newer Swift 2022 bag, which shows small grains.
Thanks!IMG_6797.jpeg

Not Swift (or Gulliver)— this is Box Calf, and the colour is more like Chocolat or Marrón Foncé.

Where can I find what colors come in what style and leathers?

Wondering about a B25 in Clemence Mauve Sylvester? Was that ever made?

Such a list does not exist publicly (nor should it, in my opinion). I would suggest checking the Podium thread or annual offers threads for some basic information about current colour and leather offerings for each Podium season.

I have never known Mauve Sylvestre to be offered in Clemence for a Birkin 25, though it was available for larger sizes. If you don’t mind compromising on the type of leather, Mauve Sylvestre did come in Swift for Birkin 25.

If anyone could provide any information regarding these vintage bags that would be great. I think the one in top left is a Massai but no idea about the others. Thanks!

I have the EXACT same Trim II 35 in Raisin togo with PHW (upper right) and I love that bag so much. In fact, I'm taking it out today because of your pic because I haven't used it in a minute, so thank you!

Hello, I have questions about my Toile Trim.

There are two stamps, a P in a circle and B square stamp. Trying to figure out which is the year stamp and what the other means.
As for the leather, please let me know what it is.
Thank you for helping!

The date stamp is B square for 1998. The leather is Clemence. I have not seen that P stamp before, but I would presume it’s a craftsperson or atelier stamp.
