I would bet that it is Chamonix leather, not Box Calf, with the Ruthénium hardware. While it is neither SO nor So Black, it is equally as special (to me, at least). This is an extremely rare combination. ;)

Thank you! Now I am in doubts, as the bill of Hermès says: SAC A MAIN KELLY 2 35 RETOURNE VEAU BOX DOUBLURE CHEVRE PI. And it is definitely Ruthenium. Well, anyway I am not going to sell this Beauty, so may be it is not important.

Gladly! I guess it must be Box Calf then, so interesting. It looked very matte in the picture you shared, so I presumed it must be Chamonix. The lining is Chèvre (Marocain), as indicated. Trust the invoice. :yes:

Beautiful bag!:flowers:

Thank you so much for your answer. Yes, the leather is shining, not matte. My doubt was: So Black or not :smile: Have a nice evening and sleep well :smile:

View attachment 6181477Good Evening!! I have just purchased this vintage 1992 Ostrich K32. The color listed on the seller page was Saffron but I am thinking it is actually Gold - mainly because the interior chèvre leather is so brown/darker than the main color and not yellow-y. Here are some pictures I took (shown next to a newer gold k25 epsom) Can anyone help id the real color? And if I need to take any other pics to help the investigation I def can! Thank you!! I love the bag regardless but just am curious if it’s really Saffron or not! View attachment 6181475View attachment 6181476

Hello,

My husband just gave me this Lindy touch 30 for my birthday and I’m trying to figure out what leather this is. It’s very soft and easily scratched. Superficial scratches tho that seem to fade when you buff them out with your finger. Is this swift? The only swift I have is the Kelly pocket strap and it’s much stiffer and doesn’t get scratched like this. Any insight would be much appreciated!

I believe this is a Lindy 30 Touch in Swift / Matte Alligator. Swift leather is known to become more supple and loose shape over time as the bag is used and ages. That could explain why this Swift leather feels much softer than a newer item such as the Kelly Pocket Strap.

Hope this helps :)

I have this spec but in 26 and it is volupto leather. My favourite leather - the hand is better than swift IMO. Congratulations and wear her in good health!
