So not the leather that was on the runway? It looks more similar to box.
So some you may recall my essay a year ago about why the Cityback "sucks" and I wasn't going to buy it. And then a few months ago I bought the Berluti Allesandro instead. But man—the Cityback had still haunted my dreams. And then last month I went to NYC meatpacking there was an special one that I couldn't get out of my head. I mulled it over for a month, and finally bought it:
The Hermes Cityback 27 "Cosmos" edition (Togo Leather):

It's Togo leather, with what I'm assuming is a dark blue base and shades of yellow, orange & red presumably painted on. Each bag has a different pattern (and to be honest, my favorite version was bought while I was mulling it over).
Unfortunately, it's the old style Cityback with the useless faux side-pocket. But I do like the side look with the double zipper co-joined with the various colors.
I don't think the design/pattern is for everyone, but it's definitely for me.
What I was wondering; what is your usage, do you pack light?
thank you!! it's just as how I imagined it to beFor anyone interested here is the interior of my Plume. The exterior is Volynka and the interior is Swift. There is one large pocket and two small ones.
Sorry for the picture quality but it’s a cloudy day and the lighting is bad.
Gentlemen...K40 or B40? I currently have a HAC40 and have used it only a handful of times as I find it too cumbersome for everyday. I live in the suburbs and commute into NYC everyday for work (bus, subway). Would a K40 be more everyday since it has a strap? Do you find the K40 to be too dainty and feminine?
Does anyone have modeling shots of both, or side by sides? I'm worried that even in the 40, the K will seem too small. I'm only 5'8" but don't want it to look too small on me.
Thanks!

My treasured black equestrian collection. I reckon I’m only missing the boot charm at this point haha. It took me 4 years and a bit to find these.
The horseshoe is in hunter cowhide, the rodeo and carmen alto in lambskin and the horsehead and saddle in boxcalf.
Do you put a lot
Do you need a bag or tote
You cannot compare birkin and Kelly in this manner
One is a tote other is a bag
