I did some more inspection in good lighting and really cannot tell the difference between jonathan and swift other than the stiffness, which I agree is due to the chevre lining. Some more comp shots in natural and artificial light.

I bought the VJ leather Birkin 30. I absolutely love it.
Lighter, I feel
I just got a Rouge Vif Veau Jonathan. I am the type of shopper that does not have a wishlist. My lovely SA knows what I already have and brings out inventory he knows that I lack in my collection. I was not going to buy a red until I saw this beautiful bag. It is really light weight wise and I describe the color as Cartier Red.Just for reference, rouge de coeur in Veau Jonathan! There definitely isn't a sheen on this compared the the black Jonathan leather items ive seen, I'm thinking because of this color being super bright.
Much lighter than my Togo B30s.good morning everyone. Not sure if it has been discussed. Is the johnathan leather heavy as compared to Togo or clemence? Thanks so much.

How about weight? Any difference between the two leathers, or in comparison to epsom, mysore, or togo/clemence?

I think Jonathan is equal in weight with swift. I definitely think it is lighter than togo/clemence. I don’t have epsom or Mysore to compare, unfortunately.How about weight? Any difference between the two leathers, or in comparison to epsom, mysore, or togo/clemence? TIA![]()
