Core Design & Material Construction
-
Material (Taurillon Clemence): Crafted from a heavy, drummed calfskin known for its semi-matte, generous, and irregular grain. This leather is highly yielding and becomes increasingly supple over time, allowing the bag to develop a graceful, relaxed slouch.
-
Color (Rouge Pivoine): Introduced in 2014, this “Peony Red” (Color Code: 2R) is a vibrant, pinkish-red that mimics a field of peonies in full bloom. It is considered a daring yet elegant alternative to traditional reds like Rouge Casaque.
-
Hardware: This specific model is finished with Palladium-plated (silver-tone) hardware. This includes the signature lobster-claw snap hooks for the strap and the snap button closure on the back pocket.
-
Interior & Layout:
-
Unlined Suede Interior: Features a natural raw finish that keeps the large bag lightweight.
-
Back Pocket: Includes one large exterior flat patch pocket for easy access to essentials.
-
Perforated “H”: The front features the iconic 63-hole “H” oval perforation.
-
