The new Etrivière shoulder Dynamo bag in the technical mesh is now showing on H.com UK - quite an affordable piece at £1800 too. Couple of colour options showing so far - Vert Vérone/Bleu Royal, Bleu Marine/Noir and Noir/Gris Asphalte.

Their description for this material : This item is made through a revolutionary Jacquard weaving technique to produce a flexible, resistant and unique piece. The graphic motifs, inspired by Hermes sportswear, are enhanced through the technical knit stitching process.

They look like big socks.

Haha! I was thinking the exact same thing!

I'm surprised the material isn't indicated (there's a long-winded description of togo leather in the "product details" section...), from the description my guess would be a polyester/ cotton blend or some other synthetic material + cotton. This kind of item is really not up my alley, but I'm sure someone will make it look great.
Also I have to say, even if this a low priced bag for Hermès, it's very close to an all leather garden party or a double sens, so to me it doesn't really feel like great value.

Hello all! This is my first post here on the forum and wanted to share some photos of my H bags. I spent some time traveling in Europe these past few months and was able to get around with my Double Sens in bleu encre/gold, my Evelyne 29 in verte cypres, and Evelyne 18 in bleu encre with bleu encre/gold strap.

Hey Everyone! It has been quite a while since I have been on here.

I have a friend inquiring about a Cityback and he is looking to learn about which leather he should get. I told him for a bag of that price, I would personally want a scratch resistant leather. With that said, I told him either Taurillon Maurice or Supple Epsom.

What does everyone think? Would Evercolor also be a good option?

Let me know what you think!

I have an epsom bag but I’m not aware that cityback comes in that. While Epsom is quite scratch resistant, it also doesn’t hide scratches well. For a backpack that is bound to scratch (more so than other bags) I would stay away from it. I think I’ve seen cityback in maurice, cristobal, and evercolor. I would say out of the three, Maurice would be best because it is smaller and tighter grains like Togo. Cristobal, if I remember, is similar to swift. The corners of evercolor just doesn’t wear we tbh. It picks up colors exceptionally well.

Thank you! I found this Cityback on the Canada website in Epsom.

I will relay the message. It was down to Maurice or Epsom. Is Maurice really slouchy?

Note that it’s the supple Epsom which is more, well, supple than regular epsom. I’m not sure how it affects other qualities of the leather though.

Good call!!

I don’t think I can be much help because I have never seen or touch supple Epsom. I love my maurice leather Picotin. It’s much more structure than clemence or even Togo. It has a nice sheen...kinda like evercolor. It has obvious grains which make it pretty scratch resistant.

I've handled supple Epsom once a couple years ago when buying my Cityslide messenger. It's definitely pretty supple, which it needs to be for something unstructured like that, but the grain looks like regular epsom. I really don't like how epsom looks, so I ended up choosing a taurillion version even though I like the color on the epsom better.

I would caution on Evercolor if looking for something scratch resistant - I saw one of the Flash backpacks in Evercolor in a boutique that was on the shop floor and could be handled, and the poor thing was looking a little the worse for wear, especially around hardware areas that were highly tactile. Likewise I have an Evergrain (supposed to be similar to Evercolor) Cityhall Briefcase that scratches easily.

Personally I don't mind this and it adds character to the bag and leather, but certainly not 'easy' scratch free leathers!

I have a Steve 35 in Cristobal and it's gorgeous and so far hasn't developed any scratches, so can vouch for that, but it's a very finely grained, almost smooth leather, so if your friend prefers grained Maurice seems to be the way forward!

Can you grace us with our lovely collection if possible? You sound like you have such a lovely collection. I don’t buy a lot from men department so I would love to see some “men exclusive” leather like a close up of the cristobal leather. Cheers!

This is making me want one! Do you know how slouchy Maurice is compared to Togo and Clemence? I own bags in Togo and Clemence and i feel like Clemence is definitely more shiny then Togo. All the pictures i have seen of Maurice make it seem somewhat shiny and not matte. Is it shiny?
