Never even heard of it being offered, or seen it anywhere- but I would jump on it if I got the chance. I love this leather in the B , and a Kelly would be amazing in either sellier or retourne. Let's keep hoping that H hears our plea.....maybe 2020 will be the year!


Same! I'd love noir with phw but seems silly for me to ask for a b30 again when I just got a b30 noir with brushed ghw and I dont prefer other sizes, only the size 30.

Let's hold out hope for the Kelly, but maybe in the gold? Also has been posted in rouge de couer, vert tropical and blue nuit ( if any of these colors might be of interest to you).
I agree, its a scrumptious leather

The noir I've seen in this leather would be perfect so I'll hope for that also!
 
Another comparison of swift and jonathan. I am not sure I could tell the difference between the two if I closed my eyes. I think jonathan is ever so slightly matte and more structured, but they are nearly identical in grain. Anemone is swift and noir is jonathan.
Yes! Spot on TeeCee77! VJ is a structured version of swift - so if you like smooth leather like swift but with more structure (but not stiff like boxcalf), then VJ is the leather for you. Just like swift, VJ is just "luscious/buttery" to the touch (if that is ever a proper description but that's how I feel each time I use my VJ B).

Exactly! I agree with “buttery”! So luxe to touch but love the extra bit of structure!! I will definitely keep everyone posted on how it wears!
 
I’ve heard that Jonathan leather is just Swift leather exterior with Chevre leather lining rather than swift lining. So from the outside they would appear identical (except maybe in regard to structure).
If this is true, I would be so pleased - I love swift and was on a lookout for a B35 in swift but got this instead. I love chevre - yes, the inside is chevre, so it's a double bonus for me.
