it'll be my first Kelly from the store and I asked for noir, nata or a light pink.. So it wasn't on my original wishlist but is pretty so I can't decide if I should wait for what I wished for originally. Still undecided!

Kelly 25 noir Epsom GHW
Kelly 25 noir Veau Madame touch alligator lisse GHW
Please help, I don’t have any experience with veau madame leather, and I’m not sure wich one If these two offers I should accept. I love the look of both bags:shocked: please let me know your thoughts and opinions.

I saw the Veau Madame touch kelly in our store a while ago and it looks very classy.

I was tols that this leather is very hard to get which explains why this version cost more than a kelly touch in epsom or togo.

I would say pick the one that makes your heart sing and also consider the sensitivity of the exotic on this bag.

I just got a veau madame K25! I love it more than my epsom K28! I've always wanted a chevre kelly, and never thought about veau madame before but there are limited offerings in sellier bags.

Clearly I have told you my bias, but here's how I would break it down:

Look -
Epsom is a printed leather/embossed grain. Its grain is slightly bigger than that of veau madame. It also has a slight sheen to it, only noticeable when you are under direct light.
Feel -
Veau madame feels softer! It's like you added some of the feeling of chevre to epsom. It's probably also because of the size of the grain on the leather that makes epsom not feel as nice (to me). (Or maybe not because chevre has an even larger grain and I like the feeling more.)
Weight -
I think Veau madame is lighter! And I'm not just saying this because I'm comparing a K25 to K28
Stiffness-
They're both pretty stiff right now for me. My K25 is new so it's particularly stiff.
Scratches -
I haven't had any problems but my bag is new. Here's another TPF thread for you.

Madame Calfskin Leather

I have a belt in veau Madame. I love how scratch resistant it is and still looks very refined. (I can’t find any adjectives to describe my lovely belt!)

Covetousness/Rarity -
I don't think either are that rare since they're making a lot of new bags out of Veau Madame now. Truth be told I haven't personally seen a lot of these (even in accessories) but that's what it seems like online. People tend to know mostly about togo/epsom so they will forever be the most popular I think. I do think there is some snootiness around disliking epsom as well, but I have no problem with epsom. Just pleasantly surprised how much I liked this leather.

Here are some pictures of my bags for comparison! The rose azalee is epsom and the rouge piment is veau madame.

It comes down to personal preference! Hope I could make your choice easier! But both sound like gorgeous bags and so you can't go wrong :smile:

Wow! Thank you so much! This is really helpful. I agree, I also haven’t seen a lot of bags in Veau Madame. I personally love the structure of Epsom, and your bag in Veau Madame looks beautiful and structured. I will go to the boutique tomorrow and see them both. Hopefully it will be easier when I see them IRL.. thank you once again! I really appreciate it:heart:
