Can anyone identify if this was a special order bag for an employee? It is the first time I have seen two symbols on a Hermes bag. (shooting star on the front flap and a horseshoe next to the Hermes logo).

This is a normal customer’s special order bag. Starting in fall 2020, clients could select a “lucky symbol” embossing for their SO bag. This shooting star was one of the choices.

Hi! I purchased a lovely “vintage” (mostly by use, the year isn’t what I personally can consider vintage 😆) K32 w PHW. I AM getting a second authentication so the tags remain on her while that happens. So while that process is afoot, I’m curious if any folks who have been on here a while and know early 2000s, have any thoughts on colors. Colors I’ve considered are chocolate, or raisin. It’s not dark enough to be marron F. It’s not really purple enough to be raisin during that time? But it def has purple undertones. Attached as some photos against browns, white, and my etoupe/magnolia Evy collection lol. Taking any and all guesses!!

It’s definitely a purplish brown or a brownish purple lol. I keep walking past its safe keeping spot and wondering. It’s making me laugh. I spent hours and days searching.

Oh shoot I just realized this may be better served in a different existing thread - it can be moved if that’s the case, I’m so sorry!!

While it is just a guess, it really does look like ebene in fjord. Lovely color! Enjoy in the best of health!

I absolutely wondered if it is fjord. I had a Birkin that did have deep veining but this seems so much more consistent with a fjord Kelly I once had!! I also considered ebene but wondered if it was too dark. Maybe we are on the right track. Ebene, chocolate, raisin were my top three thoughts lol. The year would line up with fjord as well.

Hopefully more people chime in!

Ebene?

Labeled as clemance leather, 2017 rose pivoine. This doesn’t look like RP to me. Thoughts?

Hi there! I agree with the other members re: Ébène, however the leather is definitely Togo. It looks like this also may be a Kelly Mou, which makes this bag all the more special!

ETA— Knowing the exact year could help in confirming the colour.

I have two chocolate bags (one Box, the other Swift). I really think it's chocolate

I thought it may be a Mou because it looks like mine which is from 2007 or 08 (I cant remeber exactly) and also has Togo with very distinct veining almost like Fjord.
Its beautiful.. what a wonderful find..
Feels like a sibling to my 40cm

Thank you to everyone! I’m really excited. Just waiting for that extra oomph of authentication before I take tags off and use the bag with DELIGHT. It does show some wear but I’m fine w it.
