Core Design & Material Composition
-
Material (Taurillon Clemence): The body is crafted from Veau Clemence, a heavy bull-calf leather known for its large, flat grain and exceptionally soft, yielding texture. It is highly resistant to scratches and develops a beautiful supple character over time.
-
Primary Color (Bleu Saphir – Color Code 73): The leather is finished in Bleu Saphir (Sapphire Blue), a deep, vibrant navy with luminous undertones that showcase the depth of the Clemence grain.
-
Hardware (Metal Color): As shown in the reference imagery, this model is finished with Palladium-plated (silver-tone) hardware, providing a sharp, cool-toned contrast to the deep blue leather.
-
Iconic Detail: Features the signature perforated “H” logo on the front, maintaining the bag’s heritage as a piece originally designed to provide ventilation for horse grooming tools.
