art nouveau, your bag is absolutely stunning. You just confirmed Bleu Glacier on my wishlist - thank you so much!

Sylvain, you are welcome. I hope you get your Bleu Glacier bag soon.

Do you think this Black GP36 leather is Negonda or Vache Country? It was advertised as Country.....and I messaged to verify that it was Country before I purchased. I did not want Negonda. I am posting pics.
My red is Country Vache and it feels...”thicker” and much more stiff.

I wish I could offer an opinion, as I'd love if you'd found another Vache Country! Do you feel Negonda typically weighs less than Vache Country? If so, assuming this is a 36, one idea, weigh your GP30 Negonga, and then weigh your GP30 Vache Country and note the % difference. Then do the same with this bag, and another of your GP36 Vache Country, and note if the % difference is close to GP30 difference. I know leather batches vary even with the same type of leather, but hopefully may give you a better idea of which leather this is.

Also, maybe check the date stamp. I only remember seeing Vache Country in GPs since 2014. but someone else might be able to confirm that.

Thank you! This one is 2016 so that is a plus.
Now that I've stared at this for 24 hours and have compared the "feel" of the leather repeatedly I'm beginning to think that this is indeed Vache Country.....both of my Vache Country GP36s are pretty new and still very stiff so am hoping that the fact this one is slightly used is what I'm seeing as a difference.
I am going to try weighing and see the difference. Will post my results.

Makes sense that the one you received could have softened a bit with use. I look forward to hearing what you discover with weighing!

Can anyone help identify the color, size and type of leather of this Birkin?

 

[MAGJES]

it looks like an Etoupe b35.....the contrast stitching.
Can’t tell the leather - very blurry when I zoom in.

I had time to weigh the GPS this morning and there is a difference between my 2 GP 30s.
Vert Vertigo weighed in at 1 lb. 4 oz and RP was a little heavier at 1 lb. 9 oz.
I am happy to say that the Black GP 36 weighs more than my Bleu Saphir and RC and not less.
It actually weighed the most!
Black 36 - 2 lb. 5 oz.
Blue 36 - 2 lb. 4oz.
RC 36 - 2 lb. 3 oz.

Based on these result I am confident that the Black is Vache Country!

So glad to hear, thanks so much for sharing the details! Also nice to conclude from all this that Vache Country likely softens a bit with use. Mine is quite stiff...I struggle a bit with the snaps! Will be nice if it softens a tad...but not too much!

What size birkin is this?

The caption says B35, but it could be B30 depending on how tall she is (I googled other photos to check).

Looks like Bleu Electrique in Clemence. FYI, for regular leathers Lindys usually come in either Clemence, Swift, and in certain colors, Evercolor.

I am looking for a textured leather birkin similar to the one photographed. However, this listing did not give the leather type. Any experts out there know if this is Fjord or Ardennes or ???

Thanks!!!
