Hi everyone! Not sure if this is the correct thread (please let me know!!) but I’m looking for help in identifying the stamp on my Evelyne. The stamp is “FP M(in a square)” I know the square M means the bag was made in 2009 but what does the FP mean? I can’t find the info on google. Thank you!!

Hi there! The “FP” is just an artisan/atelier stamp, but its specific meaning is intelligible only to Hermès.

Hi all. Please help identify the color of this vintage box Kelly, from 1979. I suspect it's bleu marine but would appreciate your thoughts. I don't have have pics of the sangles. TIA!

Hi friends, could you help me identify this Birkin’s color? It was labeled as Togo in Cognac but I don’t think that’s an official Hermes color (could also be a mistranslation). It looks like it could be Gold or Etrusque. It’s from 2009 if that helps! Your thoughts appreciated!

Hi there! Would you be able to provide a picture of the heat stamp on this bag? I have an idea of what this could be, but seeing that stamp will help me confirm.

Cognac is an official Hermès colour dating from before the 1990s. It has also been available during several of the past few seasons.

Yes, of course! See pic attached. Thanks so much!

Gladly! Apologies, I should have explained better. This is a picture of the date stamp (a.k.a. production stamp or blind stamp), whereas I’m looking for a picture of the heat stamp. The heat stamp is on the front center of the bag, and it should say “Hermès Paris Made In France”.

By the way, it looks like this bag may be from 2006 instead of 2009.

Thanks for clarifying! Here’s the photo. Is it Togo leather at least? Haha

Thank you for this picture! The leather appears to be Vache Liégée, and the colour is Brique! This is a rare, discontinued leather— very special.

Thanks so much for your help! I knew it was different than Togo as it’s a lot more structured for a retourne bag with no slouch (which I really like). The color is a beautiful mix of brown, orange and red hues. Thanks again!

This Hibouton is made from Agneau leather. Depending on the age of the leather, the colour is likely Vert Véronèse or Chartreuse. I don’t recall either of these being standard colours for Agneau, so I suspect this leather was originally intended for the lining of a bag (e.g. Constance or Bolide). Additionally, this item is missing several indicators we typically use to determine colour, making it difficult to reach a more definitive conclusion.

As for the beak and wings, they appear to be Jaune Poussin in Epsom.

Note: As you mentioned, this is a Petit H piece made from scrap materials. We have no way of knowing why these leather pieces were discarded, but it is entirely possible that they were part of unsatisfactory dye batches or test batches. This means they may not even technically be official Hermès colours.

Recognise this may be hard from a photo - but they've called it "Fuchsia Pink Chevre (2013 Collection)" and for the life of me going back and forth on what colour think this is? My eyes are giving rose shocking but that was 2021?
