Be reassured by the covetous praise it has received that you will very soon appreciate the leather more and more every day and not regret that it is not Epsom or Togo. It will get better and better as the years pass by.
You will quickly learn to be a bit careful with your finger nails - that won't be a hardship.

This leather looks stunning! Please share more pictures if you can! I'd love to see it. Smooth/fine grain leathers tend to be my favorite. Swift, Evergrain, Evercalf, Novillo, and Tadelakt are all sooo amazing!

Here it is . Thx for all the nice comments I felt better now

So beautiful! I would hands down take this over Epsom or Togo any day. The sheen is gorgy like box or Swift. I’m looking forward to seeing more of this leather. So lovely!

Don’t overthink, just choose what pleases your eyes or goes with the bag in question. I never buy anything just because it’s rare.

Buy what you prefer, not just because it's rare.

If this new leather is like Swift then you've scored big, much better than Togo or Epsom. Congrats!!!

I’m curious why you say it’s better than Togo or Epsom? Not disputing, just trying to learn...

It's just my personal taste, lots of people love Togo and Epsom. Epsom I don't like because it's a stamped leather and it feels like cardboard, also I prefer softer leathers in general. In my opinion it doesn't wear well either, the corners get scuffed very quickly. As for Togo I've never liked it's small grain and hand feel, I've always prefered Clemence over Togo.

My favourite Hermès leathers are Boxcalf, Barenia, Clemence, Swift, Chevre. Having said all this, it's just my personal opinion

So I think the theme I’m seeing here is you are taking what’s offered and not necessarily what you love. The vert cypress might be rare but if you don’t love it, it doesn’t matter unless you plan to sell these things. But what you love. Plain and simple.

Ah, thanks, I’m always interested to hear others views!

I have a Bearn in box (I can’t be sure as was a gift, I never seem to have it when I am in a store) which has scratched but feels beautiful in my hands. I bought an Epsom Bearn because I heard the leather is more hard wearing but I really don’t like how it feels - too stiff and hard. I’m deliberating my first H bag and the SA in NBS recommended an Epsom Bolide for me but it just didn’t make my heart sing, however I’m enjoying the research hence my questions... I currently have a request for a Bolide in Novillo which I saw on h.com but I’d like the “store” experience for my first bag.

As others have told you - only buy what you like; do not buy just for rarity value.
For what it's worth, I don't like charms or twillies; twillies might have some protective function, but I don't see the need to embellish what is already a beautiful item with a dangling horse or pom-pom.
