Yay for 3K! Your discussion of how the different leathers impact how the color displays is very helpful. This is so true, but rarely discussed in comparing the leathers. I have a blue bag in Evercolor and the vibrancy of the color is stunning. It clearly pops more than Togo and even Epsom leather. The best leathers for color vibrancy to me are Evercolor, Swift and Clemence. However, all three of those leathers are soft, so they do not wear the same as Togo and Epsom. Each leather they offer have different strengths and I like different kinds for different bags. Great video!
🥳🥰 Thank you so much!!.. I don't speak about Evercolour as I have no personal experience with that leather, so thank you for mentioning this!!..It's super helpful to anyone who might be interested in other leathers like Evercolour. Superstar!! ❤️❤️ xx
I have a B30 in tadelakt and I totally agree it scratches very easily, but the upside is that it’s really thick and will hold its shape forever and does really well at the spa where they can buff out scratches so every 5-10 years u can take it to the spa and you pretty much get a brand new bag. Tadelakt also takes color very beautifully. Mines in electric blue and is really stunning. I had a b40 in clemence too and it was so heavy so I sold it.
Please do a Part II for the other leathers like the heritage ones and the new leathers. Btw, congratulations on 3K! I always love watching your videos.
Hi dear completely agree about the slouch. And i feel clemence is more slouchy than the togo. Love your k32 in gris perle.... wow, stunning! I do love epsom because of its structured look. 😍 TFS dear!
Such an informative video! I have a vintage retourne Kelly in box leather (it's older than me - it's 48 yrs old!), which I bought in a French vintage shop several years ago. I brought it to my SA who told me to just massage the spot with my finger when it gets scratched and it should fade and be less noticeable. I use it all the time and do not even baby it but it still looks as good as when I first bought it (the previous owner barely used it so it was in excellent condition). I also often use it when I'm wearing casual outfits with just a plain tee and blue jeans. It doesn't look 'formal' at all. It's v soft like butter and shiny! I'm looking into the vintage market again to get myself another Kelly in box leather but in a different size and colour.
Thank you for sharing that with everyone ☺️... I'm so glad you love your vintage kelly, that's a whole 48yrs old 😳...WOW!! I've seen some really beautiful vintage box leather bags on Instagram.. One day I'd definitely love to add a vintage kelly to my collection.🥰❤️ xx
Hi! I’m a new subscriber and new to the Hermès luxury world. I appreciate this video so so much! It’s exactly what I needed to get started. I come from the Louis Vuitton House and wanted to branch into other fashion houses. I saw on another channel the Hermès change purse and thought, “that’s a cool little piece” and then saw all the leathers and it blew my mind LOL. Now I know where to start AND I know where to start on my first bag - Birken or Kelly - not to mention my first name is Kelly too :). Great video, and looking forward to more. You’re so bubbly and your smile is contagious! PS - Girllll - you are rocking that dress!!!
Just discovered your channel and I must say, you are a natural in front of the camera! And you explained the leathers so clearly. 👍🏻 I love your B30 in Vert Vertigo in phw. It's so beautiful and that's my favourite 🍀 colour. I've just subscribed and will be binge watching all your videos. Thanks for sharing 🙂💚
I’m a Chèvre girl 100%. My Birkin is perfect for me and I take it everywhere without fear of ruining my handbag. I’m also a casual girl so I love the slouch. I want my handbags(except for my novillo/exotic) to show my journey lol. Thanks for another video! I think I could listen to you talk about just about anything!
I love Chèvre leather...it’s very durable & has shiny to it. I can feel it inside my B30 & K28. Unfortunately, all my B30, K28, and C18 are in Epsom! Now I really want B25 in Togo or Chèvre 😉 I wonder what kind of leather lining in C18? It’s sooo buttery smooth🤔 Congrats on hitting 3K!🎉 I also love watching you with the positive vibes, smile & laugh you show in the video, it brightened up my day 💕
Great video beautiful!! Very informative! And I love your Hermes Collection !! That Blue Birkin is my dream bag! Is it Zanzibar?. Congrats on your 3K. Im sure you are going to gain a lot of followers, love your energy! New Subscriber here.
How about the lovely Barenia and Barenia Faubourg? We need a part 2! 😆 Side note: the lining of the bags is made of chèvre marocain and the outside in chèvre Mysore (de Coromandel in the past) Similar but Mysore is of higher quality and sheen ;)
I was gonna ask about this too 😅. I want a birkin 30 in barenia or faubourg but I honestly don’t know the difference, I just know they are brown or tan 😅😂
@@lexxelestine the main difference is that Barenia Faubourg is grainy and classic Barenia is buttery smooth (super water resistant and scratches can be buffed out with the pad of your fingers). Barenia develops over time a beautiful patina, and is not a leather for anyone who like their bag to look like the day they bought it... it will show scratches and will darken over time. Not a least her for everyone 😅 I have recently acquired a k25 in Barenia and waiting for the patina to fully develop ;) Barenia Faubourg is my personal favorite, I love the sheen. I also want a b30 or b35 (as a travel bag). This leather is, due to its grainy texture, quite scratch resistant (scuff marks can be buffed out too). Contrary to popular belief Faubourg is also quite water resistant. Will also darken slightly over time (turn into more of a cognac color) . All in all they are both gorgeous leathers 😍
I love our community 😍 you took out your time to explain it all to me. Thank you so much. You are the absolute “bestest”. I love the sound of buttery smooth 😍 So barenia it is for me 🧚🏽♀️💁🏽♀️
The best person to ask is your SA, there's no telling what colours will come in what leathers until a little while after when you start to see what everyone is carrying...🥰🤍 xxx
I want to get a Kelly 28. I’m torn between Epsom (head) or box (heart). Kelly is black box is just so super classic, but Epsom is more durable and resistant to scratches…. Hmm
Ooooooo, that is a tricky one....Is it your first bag? Box is absolutely stunning, but you're right durability wise Epsom is soooo much better...I would say think of how much you plan on using the bag and if you're someone that HATES seeing your bag scratched, then maybe its better to go for epsom first... Goodluck and keep us updated on what you choose ☺️💕 xx
Congratulations for 3K subbies! I have a Birkin 30, Kelly 28 and Constance 18, all in togo leather and I love them all. Would love to try Togo hopefully in a B25😊
Thank you so much!!!!...Who would have ever thought!! 🥰❤️.....You have the B30, K28 and C18 in epsom leather you mean right? 😅👀... I think you'll appreciate the change when you get a togo, its always nice to try out a new leather ☺️💕 xxx
If you were picking a white or cream coloured every day kind of bag, what leather type would you recommend? As far as durability and stain/water resistance, specifically. Thank you!
Hi Lily! 🥰 - So if it were me personally and i had to pick which leather for a white or cream colour i'd definitely go for epsom as my top choice and chevre as a close second - Epsom is fantastic when it comes to water resistance and you can always use a damp cloth to wipe it down because the water wont absorb into the leather 🥰💕 xx
Good day, I'm currently working on my handbag line and I'm looking into what leather to pick depending on designs , I would love to consult you and get some advice on how to go about picking the right leather
Love this review! Quick question - you mentioned that they do not use Epsom leathers on Birkin 25s? Does this mean that If I am interested in a size 25 then Togo would only be the choice? (I am torn between togo and epsom but aiming for a size 25)
Are there two different types of chèvre? I got offered a bag in rose Sakura and it was in chèvre and felt plasticy,, I was like I said I liked all leathers but I actually don’t like this oops. So I turned it down 😳 the inside of my bags don’t feel like that. And it has a sheen to it where it looks like there’s a film on it.
Swift leather actually is not that scratchable! I have zero scratches on my Kelly which I used several times! And the colours are beauuuutiful. In a smaller size it also doesn't slouch too much!
Oh! Thank you for sharing that Kim!! I’m just going on what I’ve read on the internet, it’s better coming from someone who actually has a bag in swift as opposed to someone who doesn’t 🥰☺️ xxx
@@TianaPeri I agree, you read sooo much and don't know what to believe! I actually just bought my second Swift bag! I wouldn't have done that if I it was too delicate...
This is the first time I’ve ever heard someone associate a metal with class 😅... neither is classier than the other, it’s all down to what your preferences are and how you as the individual wears the item ☺️

Very informative video! Love it! I knew about Togo, Epsom, box and clemence but didn’t know much about tadelak, swift or chèvre leathers. Ty
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this explanation, I don’t own a Hermès bag but I’m trying to do my research first before I buy will if I ever get offered too 😔
So easy explained than others. Thanks.

I have a swift birkin and its not as delicate as Chanel lambskin. Its surprisingly durable
One day i'll be able to find out for myself when i get my rose sakura bag 😄 (speaking into existence) 💕 xx
Wishing you all the best!
Thank you for this very educational video!! I’m hunting for my first Birkin/Kelly!❤️
🥰🥰🥰 ooooo!! The first one is always the most exciting!! Happy hunting and I hope she’s everything you want ♥️♥️♥️♥️ xxx
Love Epsom but would crack and cannot be repaired :( I made peace with scraping and patina and opt for Box.
What is color of green and blue birkin please! Beautiful!
Green - Vert Vertigo
Blue - Bleu Zanzibar

My Birkin 25 special order is epsom.
Just out of curiosity how long ago was the special order made?

Is togo leather more soft as other ?
Togo, clemence, swift are softer leathers ♥️ x
