Veau Grizzly

[alysarow]

Has anyone seen the new Veau Grizzly in real life that can describe the texture? In some photos it looks kinda like suede, in others it looks something wilder...

I saw this earlier, too, when I visited Les Ailes. Looks like furry suede. Hehe

I hope someone bought something in this leather.

Looks like regular suede.

H-L, are you saying in real life it looks like Veau Doblis? or that it does in the photo?

I don't know why, but I thought of bears when I saw the title of the thread

Esquire had the travel size Victoria in a gold-ish Grizzly leather featured as a holiday gift. Looks like this is the only other color Grizzly is available in? The Aisle de Hermes also shows a Bolide in the lighter color but they're illustrations.

No one has seen these in real life yet?

Yes--and I'll add that it made me think of Sarah Palin...even without the word "mama" in front of it--

I think Hermes is working the bear thing with the name of the leather. Sarah Palin, probably not - but you never know.

You betcha. Me too.

I am not too sure but I think grizzly seems to have longer nap than doblis.

Texture and thickness
Very hard to describe

Thanks Miss Al- not too sure what is "nap"?

Thanks bagidiotic- which one is thicker? I only have grizzly so can't really compare...looks similar from the pics posted.
Both are suede I presume? Which one do you prefer?

The texture or fuzz of the suede is also known as the nap. I only have doblis so I can't really compare. I was told that grizzy has a longer nap so it is fuzzier. Both are suede leather.
