I would love to see another video on the history behind Hermes leathers. I’m a history geek and I love stuff like that, lol. Thanks for sharing, Caleb!
My favorite leathers are...Togo, Clemence, Box, and Barenia. Most other leathers I don't mine but after buying my Bern wallet in Epsom I would never buy Epsom again. Great video!
@@CalebSnell I researched the leathers and Epsom was repeatedly stated to be the strongest leather and great for heavy use. The problem with Epsom is that since it's an embossed leather, the pattern is pressed into the leather so it may help the leather hold its shape and people say it's resistant to scratching but after 3 to 4 months I saw light spots and it just got worse. Two years later I have a wallet with spaces all over it where the pattern has just disappeared and you see the light tannish color under the embossed pebbled pattern. You're right about the spa! When I took it to that Hermes night I showed it to the spa worker and he said that's just the way Epsom is and it can't be fixed. It would be like putting each little pebble back on the leather. It was over $2,000.00 so I will wear it until it falls apart but I wish I had gotten a softer leather like my Bastia.
I love a video with knowledge so refreshing 💙 I love my clemence stunning soft I always give it a little touch whenever I walk next to my bag And I immediately understood the difference in quality the minute I hold it from my other bags
Box, Togo, Clemence, Barenia leathers are my favorites. Thank you for the sweet call out. I am so happy with the way my Kelly came out. I love seeing you light up when you talk about Box leather!🤎😘
Love the look of Togo and the feel of Clemence. Swift is absolutely beautiful but too delicate for my liking. I hope to experience Box in person one day. Nice video!
I'm with you on Box leather being my favourite. I've just spent three weeks debating buying a B30 Black Box Sellier (pre owned) . It is absolutely gorgeous, but, I want it for an everyday work bag and I'm in the UK. So the prospect of scratches and water damage gave me such anxiety that I decided against it and bought an Epsom one instead. I love Epsom for its durability and lightness in comparison to my Togo and Clemence bags. Definitely a good decision I think but the Box Sellier haunts my dreams. 😫 Great informational video.
Great information! I like more resilient and structured leathers like Ardennes and Courcheval, but thanks to you I’m starting to enjoy my box K35 more. I want to get some pieces in Coromandel and Barenia. Of course there’s Volynka leather…😮Can’t wait for the next chapter of this series- TFS!😊
Thank you, ChiGuy! Your Box K35 is stunning- the perfect combination! Coromandel and Barenia are gorgeous too- I want to get my hands on some Volynka for sure!!
👋🏾👋🏼👋🏿Hi Caledb, I was directed to you from Autumn Beckman. I am enjoying this content and have subscribed 🎉I have to admit learning about these different types of leather is pretty new to me. I am a Coach girl and my preference is glovetann leather, I have been able to acquaint myself with togo, epsom and caviar leathers, I do like those. I am enjoying and will be watching👀😎
Caleb I do want to know about Evergrain leather… not Evercolor…or maybe the difference between the two. I have a 2005 Evergrain bag on hold, but I can’t seem to find any information. Any info you can dig up would be so helpful!!!!🥰 Thank you!🙏
This is such an interesting video! I was going to ask (dumb question, bought chypre sandals and somehow went off the deep end in research), but where does “calfskin” fall in the categories or is it in its own? Appreciate the insight!
I would love to see another video on the history behind Hermes leathers. I’m a history geek and I love stuff like that, lol. Thanks for sharing, Caleb!
Thank you, Patty!! I'll definitely dive into more about H leathers for sure!
Would be great to do a series! I have the most familiarity with clemence, which I love. Would love a bag in swift or box!
Thank you, P! I love Swift leather- I'm kind of hoping my next H bag is swift!
This was SO interesting, Caleb! I love learning about leather.❤🌻
Thank you, Linda!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, I'll be doing more of these soon!
My favorite leathers are...Togo, Clemence, Box, and Barenia. Most other leathers I don't mine but after buying my Bern wallet in Epsom I would never buy Epsom again. Great video!
Oooh! I love those leathers too! I’m not the biggest fan of Epsom, but what turned you off of Epsom with the wallet?

Yessss! Please let’s talk about all the different types of leather and their history. Let’s geek out!
Yassss!!! I love it!
Caleb. I love the way you give us a history lesson on the bags. Excellent video.
Thank you, Kris! This was a fun video to research!
i'd adore a video on the heritage leathers
Absolutely, that's a great idea!
@@CalebSnell ❤❤ have a lovely day!
This is timely. I JUST bought a pre-loved Birkin 35 (my third Hermès bag). So, as a leather lover, the video is GREAT! 👏🏾👏🏾
Congratulations on your new Birkin! What combo did you get?!
Love learning about the history ❤😊
Thank you, Kaylhee! Me too!
@CalebSnell that's great, your welcome
Great video, Caleb! Box is definitely my favorite leather and I’m also dreaming about Barenia Faubourg. Would love to see a part 2!
Thank you, Nicolas! Barenia Faubourg is such a nice leather too! I'll definitely be doing a part 2!
My fave is Barenia! But I love the Chèvre and box as well ❤
Barenia is fabulous! I can’t wait to add some to my collection!
I love a video with knowledge so refreshing 💙
I love my clemence stunning soft I always give it a little touch whenever I walk next to my bag
And I immediately understood the difference in quality the minute I hold it from my other bags
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Clemence is such a beautiful leather! I hope I can add some Clemence to my collection soon!
Box, Togo, Clemence, Barenia leathers are my favorites. Thank you for the sweet call out. I am so happy with the way my Kelly came out. I love seeing you light up when you talk about Box leather!🤎😘
You know I love some Box leather! Barenia is a great leather too- I'd love to try that out too!
This is perfect!!
Thank you, Lisa!!
Love the look of Togo and the feel of Clemence. Swift is absolutely beautiful but too delicate for my liking. I hope to experience Box in person one day. Nice video!
Thank you! H makes so many great leathers!
Yes, I would like to see a video on the heritage and exotic leathers. Thank you! ❤
I'll get to work on it!
Would definitely learn more about the heritage leathers
That would be a fun video to make!
Thank you for the video! No easily scratched leathers for me! 🤣👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you, Daniel!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I would love to know more about the construction of an Hermes bag if possible?
Thank you, Grace!! I'll see what I can put together!
Great guide! You should dive even deeper into the exotics 🐊
Agreed! That would be so much fun!

Definitely a good decision I think but the Box Sellier haunts my dreams. 😫
Great informational video.
Box is just he best! I love box, but rain gives me anxiety too when it comes to the rain, so I completely understand. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Great information! I like more resilient and structured leathers like Ardennes and Courcheval, but thanks to you I’m starting to enjoy my box K35 more. I want to get some pieces in Coromandel and Barenia. Of course there’s Volynka leather…😮Can’t wait for the next chapter of this series- TFS!😊

I'd love to see this on Fendi leathers! They have so many used for the Peekaboo.
Oh good idea!
Can you talk about Evercolor? Thank you
Absolutely! I'll include that in the next one!

I'm so glad you found me, welcome in! It's so much fun learning about all the different types of leather.
What is YOUR favorite Hermes leather? And what was your first leather?
Love box and swift the most but also Togo!

That's a good question! I'll have to do some research!!
@@CalebSnell Thank you Caleb!!! I appreciate you!

Appreciate the insight!
So calfskin is what most of the leathers like Togo, Clemence etc are made of. But it may get a different treatment than those leather.
Fauve berina is my dream.
Good choice!
I just now coming back to UA-cam after a bad experience. I rejoined the discord, but I have no permissions to go into the rooms. What did I do wrong?
This is Zane Dee, message me on Discord. I'm trying to figure it out for you. 😀
Great video! But clemency is the OPPOSITE of “rigid” 😅 its among the slouchiest H leathers 🙃
Yes it is definitely slouchy!
What leather is your Hermes clutch made of?
My Rio is box leather- it's an early 90's if I remember right!
Another thriller Luxury vlog
Thank you, Lonnie!!
