Hey guys thinking of adding a TPM Evelyne to my collection in Gold with PHW.
Does anyone have any H in Gold? How does it wear and do you enjoy it?

I don’t have any gold togo but just so you know, it ages like this:

It gets a patina, of course, but it also turns a bit greyish. That birkin in particular is from 2009 and has been to the spa.

For me personally, I don't like gold at all. Quite blasphemous to say on an H forum, I know lol. Gold barenia ages better. But gold on the other leathers doesn't patina as well, in my opinion.

For the TPM I highly suggest the etain or etoupe, those look so great.

I have a bleu nuit one and it looks lovely, one of my fav h bags, so tiny and simple, but so functional!

Hope you find the right one for ya!

It’s because togo is chrome tanned. only vegetable tanned leathers get that honey patina, that’s why barenia (which is both chrome and vegetable tanned) ages better.

Thanks! I've been so lazy with taking more OOTDs lately lol. That day was the day I was offered a B25 which I purchased for my mom, so it brings back lots of great memories. Thanks for bringing me back down memory lane!

Also, omg I'm such a dummy, I'm thinking this may not be bleu nuit but perhaps bleu indigo? I need to find the receipt and check lol

Thanks I tend to love blue, it adds a little bit of contrast to my **very** black wardrobe lol

Also for reference I'm 5'7 and about 170lbs

Long time lurker, but truly awed by these blues; thought to share the joy - blue orage on the sac a depeches 29 and blue frida on the mini clic! Gotten these beauties at FSH and George V respectively, making them all the more special ☺️

Congrats!!! I saw what I think was the blue orage in the wild and then in photos online, and have been obsessed ever since!
