Hello!! I was hoping that one of you knowledgeable beauties could help me identify the color of my Clou de Selle bag?
Thank you SO much for your help!

Lime.

Need confirmation on leather
Recently purchased this vintage regal B35 beauty. It was advertised as Togo, but looking at the leather and its structure it looks more like Ardennes (which I prefer anyway); also released Year 2003, where lots of Ardennes were released. What do you guys think? Togo? Ardenne? or something else?

Thank you! It is indeed a vintage bag from 1994 as the date stamp is x in a circle. I have just never seen a vache natural Kelly before and the seller had described it as box calf.

In my experience the less knowledgeable sellers describe every smooth leather as box calf unless they can get away with calling it Barenia

I will keep that in mind! This is my first Kelly and I just can’t get over how beautiful the leather is. I’ve been reading up on Docride’s posts and so looking forward to restoring this vintage beauty to its true glory!

Perhaps Sapphire?

Perhaps Sapphire?

Thank you. The description state it’s “blue royale”. Haven’t heard of this color before so wasn’t sure if it’s been mislabeled or it’s just a color I’m not familiar with.

Hello all,

Helping someone ID these vintage Hermes bags. I see a Drag and a Kelly (both look like croc) but having trouble with the other 2.

Anyone have any idea?
