Weights of different leathers

[Pepper]

Interesting, thanks for that. Was this including locks, clochettes and all the rest?

Compared to my other non-H bags I find that my box birk can get quite heavy, I'm not sure I'd want something even heavier.

Loony, thanks for asking for this clarification: the bags were totally naked...sans lock and clochette.

Thank Pepper.

Love your avatar by the way

Loony, thanks to you I am fighting off intrusive thoughts of a raisin box Birkin...!

What an interesting topic, Pepper!! Thanks so much for posting it. When tried on Rose's 30cm box Birkin, I was surprised at how light it was.

won't be surprised the helpful & resourceful tPFers will start measuring their different leather types sans lock & clochette ....& the list goes on...

Oh, but Pepper, resistance is futile when it comes to Raisin box Seriously, I thought I would get a HAC in a hard wearing leather and sensible colour and then I saw Miss Prunella and that was that

Thank you Pepper !!!
I would be interested to know where Goat would be in this Weight ranking ???
Do someone know ???

I was wondering, too...can anyone weigh their 35 chevre Birkins? I'll weigh my 35 vache liegee....I'll go to my PO to weigh it in the next few days.

Wow, I thought that Ostrich was lightest! Glad I ordered a box.
Thanks Pepper. It's most interesting.

Wow. What a scientific answer. I love this forum!

I can never "arm" weigh any handbags. I seem to feel differently than anybody else. It's good to see the actual weights. Thanks!

Here are the conversions to pounds/ounces for people like me who are metrically challenged!

Clemence range: 1209 - 1271 g (the heaviest one is from 2006) -
2 lb and 10.6462 oz - 2 lb and 12.8332 oz
Togo 1122 - 2 lb and 7.57738
Barenia (2003) 1120 - 2 lb and 7.50683 oz
Ostrich 1106 - 2 lb and 7.01300 oz
Crinolin/Barenia 1058 - 2 lb and 5.31985 oz
Box (2007) 1049 - 2 lb and 5.00238 oz
