So I just received a call from my SA and was told a black togo 30 Birkin was available for me to pick up but in the rghw (rose gold). I originally wanted the gold hardware. I have seen pictures of the rose gold hardware with gold Hermes stamping. I know some consider the rose gold a "rare" piece but what's your take on this? Do you think the rose gold will be a good purse to get, something that will hold it's value or is this a trendy color that will soon fade? Maybe it's a personally preference but any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks.
RGHW (Rose Gold) on Birkin Any thought?

I love my black B25 with RGHW - it's my favorite bag in my collection. It is considered "rarer", and I'm pretty confident it will hold its value or perhaps even go up in price if Hermes stopped production - much like the So Black collection.
Having said that, if I were you, I'd definitely go look at the bag in person before making a decision. Personally, I didn't know how much I liked RGHW until I saw someone else carrying it in person, and then I knew I had to have one lol

My b25 noir RGHW is the queen of my collection as well. I didn’t realize how much I loved or needed rose gold until I tried to carry my bags with YG hardware and it almost felt wrong. Sort of gaudy. But RG goes well with my outfits, my jewelry .. everything. It’s such a Person preference.. but I just don’t see how anyone could see a noir RGHW Birkin and resist. I know I could never!
RGHW is a must especially if you like RGHW jewellery (which I do) - I have two Bs with RGHW (b25 Gris Tourterelle and b30 Gris Etain) and I love them so much. I wish my b25 black was with RGHW rather than GHW!
Never purchase just on assumed value retention or rarity, purchase base on desire. You won't by completely fulfilled by the purchase if you don't base it off of loving the bag.
RGHW is so dreeeamy! I was just hesitant when I read a few posts on here about tarnishing. But I would still LOVE to own a Birkin with RGHW. B25 Etain RGHW 
is at the top of my wishlist!

OMGoodness! Glorious!!! These are the only two bags on my wishlist with my SA right now. Hoping I can be your twin on one of them this semester ... dying for both colors in B25 AND RGHW!!!!!!!!!!!
i was always a rose gold fan so i could be biased but i absolutely LOVE my noir B25 with RGHW. i don't even care about the value/rarity because i don't ever plan on selling it! but i do like that there aren't as many bags out there with RGHW. the "Hermes Paris" print in gold doesn't bother me since it's so small. i didn't even realize it until someone pointed it out. also rose gold has been around for quite a while, although it's become a bit trendier lately it's not so trendy where i think it'll go out of fashion forever if that makes sense. to me it's a classic like gold or silver, just that it's popularity goes up and down depending on trends.
Yes, it's true, as a long time lover of ghw on bags I now see the ghw as harsh compared to rghw...
I don't think it can date itself and i see it as a nice alternative to the lighter brushed ghw which is only available via special order.
Thank you for saying that. I was beginning to wonder if I made a mistake ordering brush gold hardware on my SO.. but if it is lighter than normal GHW I think I will be happy
I am so in love with my rghw b too
No regret

Just my opinion but Brushed GHW is not lighter than shiny gold. To my eye, it's even bolder gold....
Permabrass is lighter than shiny gold...
Thank you hun! Gah I’m so conflicted. I guess I will have to wait to see when it gets here. Still kinda sad about missing the RGHW option.. it would have been insane with etain.
