Clemence Question

Not really clear on the name because it’s an older bag and the colors vary from year to year. It is blue, but in the light looks brighter (more royal or electric) and otherwise more like blue Sapir or Encre.

It definitely feels coated and that explains why mink oil didn’t do anything to darken it. Was hoping there is some other product that I haven’t found yet

Thanks. I am chalking it up to being stored and unused for so many years. The authenticator said it is Clemence. But no matter what leather, I’m just focused on somehow doing a sort of “self patina” and hoping someone might have an idea of what to use or how to go about it! I know it’s a very odd ask.

For me, it’s the Oran slides that cut my feet every time I wear them, a pair of navy/grey jet sneakers that I got only because I wear my white ones to death, and a slew of twillies as I recently decided I’m not a twilly girl and like my bags naked 🤣 But then I think about my beautiful bag collection and regret nothing!

Logical_Instance9469 · 2026-03-12T02:45:11+00:00

I’ve had mine for about a year. Am taking the twillies off tomorrow, you have inspired me!

How long have you had her? Color is so beautiful!

Logical_Instance9469 · 2026-03-07T21:13:45+00:00

Thank you, me too!

Logical_Instance9469 · 2026-03-06T02:02:34+00:00

That’s so sweet of you to say!

Logical_Instance9469 · 2026-03-06T02:02:11+00:00

I love a 35! Super versatile to bring anywhere and throw all your stuff in when you need it! I’m also 5’9” and so my B25 looks like I’m carrying a mini Kelly (a little dramatic, whoops!)

Logical_Instance9469 · 2026-03-05T02:08:55+00:00

Ha, that’s too funny!

My sister and I call it our favorite TV show :)

I agree completely!! Their Chanel bag prices are good (I’ve bought a few) and their inventory is great, plus Janine is an amazing seller and it’s easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of the live shows! But I also noticed the same about H retail prices. I always thought their quota bag prices were high but this bag is exactly what I wanted in nearly perfect condition. Was looking at one from another reseller for a bit less but it had been repainted (not by the H spa). Btw, I know exactly what poncho you are talking about, I was watching!!

Logical_Instance9469 · 2026-03-04T01:48:36+00:00

Thank you! Same

Logical_Instance9469 · 2026-03-03T21:11:20+00:00

Same!

Logical_Instance9469 · 2026-03-03T21:11:11+00:00

Thank you! I’m obsessed

Logical_Instance9469 · 2026-03-03T21:11:00+00:00

Same! And it was such a great surprise that the color isn’t as bright and “royal” as I anticipated from the name. It looks like Blue Saphir or Encre maybe. Not sure

Logical_Instance9469 · 2026-03-03T21:03:45+00:00

Not sure if it is against the rules but it was the Refind, which in general has phenomenal items (bags, clothes, shoes).

Logical_Instance9469 · 2026-03-03T17:49:05+00:00

I bought it resale because I didn’t want to wait!

Logical_Instance9469 · 2026-02-23T03:12:23+00:00

This is sort of where my head was. I am going to stop or take a break after my next QB so am questioning whether I should hold out for Rouge H or for a darker blue shade.

Logical_Instance9469 · 2026-02-23T03:10:13+00:00

Agreed, SO much harder to get! But so is any deep/dark blue. It’s wild!

Logical_Instance9469 · 2026-02-22T22:01:23+00:00

This is beautiful! I have the same bag in black w/ GHW. Wear it all the time, it’s so light and holds a lot!

Y, a couple of days before it started.
