I’ve been offered my first Birkin, a 30 Sellier, box leather in black with gold hardware! Going to see it Wednesday and so excited, but nervous about box leather! Can anyone let me know what it’s like and if you use it often because of the leather?

Congratulations! I love box leather. I also have a 30 b sellier box (phw) from 2022. Initially box is very fragile. It scratches easily and with just about anything (my own jewelry has scratched it), and is can blister with rain. I have a small blister on my B30. The other older box leather bags, have wear marks, but I actually like that as I don’t take care of my bags and use them (rotate box leather often). Oh also, you cannot clip the sangles well. Don’t know why they just always pop out

If you do not mind the initial scratches, it’s a beautiful leather and I love that the shape stays. Also, H can treat it and protect it if sent to spa. Hope this helps.

I have a B25 epsom and cannot clip the sangles well. I think it’s a feature of the sellier B and perhaps not necessarily box leather. :hugs:I actually think the sangles sticking out it kind of adorable lol.

IMO B30 Box sellier sounds amazing. I have @docride spa/condition my box kelly bags, but I would still not want to wear them in bad weather. I do wipe them dry if they are caught in drizzle, and they do not blister. The scratches do resolve into beautiful patina, but some here do not want this. It’s personal preference

Welcoming my latest addition to the collection. I can absolutely see why this would not be a cup of tea for everyone. The sellier style is stiff which is similar across the board of this style but there is a more delicate approach needed to handle this bag style in box leather. However I have lusted after this leather since the start of my journey and am fully informed of the care necessary and ready to view the scratches as ‘battle scars’ of a bag that is well loved. So it does depend on the individual and hopefully people don’t just purchase it because it is ‘hard to get’ otherwise it really may be the wrong decision (for that individual)
