Hi,
appreciate if you help to identify this leather/colour pls? Was told is barenia. Yr stamp 2000/k28/sellier.

It looks like a finished leather so I am guessing Box calf. As @Meta noted it has the wrong stamp for Barenia and I believe that's also the wrong stamp for Chamonix, which is what it looks most like in this one photo.

I have a Chamonix Kelly that has painted stamp as does this bag. It is an F bag, 2002. Chamonix was often made with white stitching in this time period.

I don't know what leather it is specifically but it isn't Barenia because there's a heat stamp instead of a blind stamp. Hopefully someone else can help you.

Tks Meta

Look at post #11 here for great tips. Enjoy your Kelly. I think Chamonix is out of production. It is a beautiful leather.

I think some Chamonix has a stamped logo rather than printed. My Kelly was a SO by me, so I know it is Chamonix and it is painted logo. My guess is that you may see both stamped and printed logos on Chaminox.

I think you're right @golconda ...I have read differently here but I could swear I have seen Chamonix with a foiled heat stamp, too.
@stran8er I think your bag is Chamonix in "natural", but I am no expert. Chamonix is similar to Box but more matte. It is gorgeous.

I think it's tadelakt.

My 2nd Hermès bag arrived today! Picotin!

Any ideas on what this purple color is called? I’m thinking either Iris or Crocus.... Bag is from 2014, if that helps. Purple is my favorite color and when I saw this bag I just had to have it! It’s a bit brighter purple than I thought it would be, but I can make it work

Looks like Iris to me. UV is darker

Hi, do you know how long Tadelakt has been available? Her Kelly is 2000. Thanks.

 

[bags to die for]

It might not be tadelakt then. That started late 2000s I believe.

I have seen a gold boxcalf Kelly before but that was a really old bag.

It’s not Tadelakt. Too early, and Fauve Tadelakt has a really warm cast with striations.

Dear TPFers, please help me identify this. It's stamped Q. Looks like Blue Izmir to me but I've had others tell me its Blue Thalassa. TIA!

I agree, UV bends towards redder undertones this is more blue
