Story
Étoupe is the colour collectors reach for when black feels too hard and gold too warm — a grey-brown that goes with everything and shows its white contrast stitching like tailoring. The 28 with a shoulder strap is the Kelly as a daily bag rather than an occasion.

Authentication checklist
- Contrast stitching is white on Étoupe — tonal stitching means a different colourway
- Shoulder strap hooks and clochette are part of the full set; check the lock number matches the keys
Care notes
Wipe smooth leather with a soft dry cloth after use and condition only occasionally with a neutral leather balm — test any product inside first, and keep it away from perfume and hand sanitiser. Store the bag stuffed with acid-free paper, upright in its dust bag (not its box — leather needs airflow), away from direct sun and heat. Rest chains and hardware against a soft cloth so metal never presses into light leather for a season. Carry it in rotation rather than entombing it: leather that is aired, carried occasionally, and re-stuffed ages far better than leather stored untouched for years.
