btw sorry don't know the letter stamp years or anything cause these pics are from IG

The first bag is a Verso in Togo with Trench exterior and Bougainvillier lining. The second looks like Biscuit Swift probably.

tysm for the speedy answer!!! also the second birkin looks kinda like chai & i saw chai comes in swift leather so do you maybe think that it's chai?

also forgot to ask before but do u know if either of these kinds of birkin are available still? just curious cause i’m trying to put my wish list together

Very welcome! No, it cannot be Chai.

Thank you! Based on the year and resin, this is Étoupe.

Hi! Me again. I saw another photo of the bag and it looks much lighter than Etoupe. Or, perhaps it’s the lighting? What do you think? TIA!

Thank you for the extra picture! I still believe this to be Étoupe, especially given the three previous pictures you shared of the bag. I think you are totally correct about the lighting; it seems as though the white balance of the entire picture is off. So curious how lighting can completely alter the colour!

Here is my thought process: there were only three colours for 2013 Clemence that could possibly fit the bill for this bag— Gris Tourterelle, Argile, and Étoupe. We can immediately eliminate GT, based on the resin. And while the colour does look similar to Argile in this last picture you sent, the three other pictures look much too grey-toned to be Argile. So, by process of elimination, it would have to be Étoupe. I hope this is helpful!

Wow! Your knowledge is amazing! Thank you so much. I agree, light balance can really play tricks on the eyes in photos! It almost looked like a different bag in that last pic. I appreciate you!

Hi! This is a Contour Birkin. I posted about them here. They were released between 2015 and 2017. This specific one is Bleu Marine Porosus Croc with Rouge H resin!

Hi, can help me identify the colour of this C18 from stamp T? Seller post as rouge casaque, but looks pinkish to me, more like rose Jaipur.
Thanks in advance!

I agree with you that the colour is not Rouge Casaque. Given the year, it is most likely Bougainvillier or Rose Jaipur, as you mentioned. Based on the lining of the bag, I would lean towards Bougainvillier, as the lining colour for Rose Jaipur is lighter with a pinkish-orange undertone.

Thanks for your fast reply! U r indeed so knowledgeable about the H colours!

I attach another photo of the interior for your comparison, coz my prev photo was taken under dim lighting.
May I ask your thoughts if it’s bougainvillea or Rose Jaipur?

I was initially looking at these pictures on my computer, but now I am looking again from my phone, and the lining does seem more pinkish-orange which would indicate Rose Jaipur. Just to be certain, would you mind taking a very clear, close picture of the exterior stitching? Thank you!

 

[lil_twin_stars]

Sure! Actually the colour is so chameleon..under different lightings it appears reddish/ pinkish/ coral..
I’m loving the colour regardless it’s bougainvillea or rose Jaipur..
Just curious what’s the possible colour it is 😊
