Last week, I saw a Clemence Kelly in store that had more veins on it than I have ever seen on a togo piece. The clemence was large grain....the veins very pronounced.
I was surprised as it also had the mark of a master craftsman and one would think this person has his pick of beautiful Hermes leathers.
My K stamp togo birkin is slightly veined, whereas my L stamp one is not at all. I love the small grain and veins on the K stamp bag. The L stamped bag looks more like clemence to me. I will see if I can take a side-by-side pic that highlights the difference.
I know this will sound insane, considering how hard it is to get an H bag at all, but can you request veiny or non-veiny leather when you put in your order?
