Will it go with black?

[2muchlux]

Can I carry my new gold birkin when I wear black (which is my most common color)? I am mosting talking black + jeans.

Absolutely!!! Gold is such a classic Hermes neutral that it will look fantastic with black and denim.

I think you could wear anything with it even tartan, I would skip the taffeta or the gold lame!

Yes, I have the same Birkin you have- 35 cm, gold ph (& mine's clemence). I wear it with everything- neutrals (like black) and colors. It really does go with everything because it's so classic!

Absolutely, tres chic!

Yes, but sometimes no... I hear you!

What is the difference in the texture, feel, smell of the leather (clemence v togo)?

Hi Star- just out of curiosity, what kind of black outfit do you think the gold birkin would not work well with? I've been carrying my bag with almost everything- except evening wear. Would like to make sure I'm not committing a fashion crime.

Thank you - I was wondering too...

I can not tell you from personal experience, as I only have gold clemence. But from what I've learned from this forum (thanks tPFers!) the gold has a slightly different hue in the two leather. Also, clemence is flatter (less bumpy) and more matte than togo. I heard togo smells wonderful. My clemence doesn't really smell. All in all though, the two leather appears to be very similar.

Gold is a great neutral.
I wear mine with black when I am too lazy to switch to my black birkin.
It goes with everything!!

Totally!

My wardrobe is almost entirely black and my Kelly is the same color/leather combination as your Birkin. It looks great with black.

Another vote for gold!! And, I too love the scent of Togo...although Clemence does have it's own scent....it just doesn't jump out at you.
