Finally got my P9 Coffee Bean 40 and I honestly cannot stop touching it. 😭🤎 This came from our group buy by Sky and I’m seriously impressed. The leather is unbelievably soft, like buttery soft. Somehow it’s even softer than my P9 30, which I already thought was amazing.

I was nervous the 40 would look too big on me, but the slouch completely changed my mind. It just melts when you carry it and gives that effortless relaxed look I love. The Coffee Bean color is also so much prettier in person. The washed monogram with the deep brown leather looks rich without being loud.

The inside leather surprised me too. It feels so smooth and luxe, and overall the whole bag just feels high quality. I already know this is going to be my go to travel and work bag.

Definitely one of those bags that makes you smile every time you look at it. 😭🔥

Really impressed with this bag. The leather has a beautiful warm caramel tone with a subtle sheen that gives it that quiet luxury look, and the grain feels natural—not plasticky. Structure is solid and holds its shape well, with clean stitching and overall good construction. Hardware has a nice brushed finish and feels upgraded, though engraving is slightly softer and the stamp could be a bit deeper. Interior is clean with smooth zipper and matching leather. Wears really well crossbody and works great as a daily/work bag. Came with a raincoat, no pillow (expected). Shipped last Monday and received today (~1 week). Paid $1450 including shipping. Overall, I’d rate this around 8.5–9/10—high-tier rep with minor flaws only noticeable up close.

Hi everyone,

Would really appreciate some help QC’ing this PSP for a Hermès Kelly Messenger GM in Barenia Faubourg (Fauve) with updated hardware. This is supposed to be from a higher-tier factory, so I want to make sure it checks out before I GL.

What I’ve noticed so far:

Leather grain looks nice and fairly natural, but maybe a bit “too clean”? Not sure if Barenia Faubourg should show more variation.

Stitching looks consistent and angled, but possibly a bit too uniform?

Stamp looks slightly shallow to me—unsure if this is within range or a red flag.

Hardware engraving seems decent, but I’m not 100% confident on the finishing.

Edges/paint look a little thick in some areas.

Main concerns:

Stamp accuracy

Leather authenticity (Barenia Faubourg look/feel)

Overall tier (is this truly high-tier?)

Would love feedback from anyone familiar with this model or Hermès in general 🙏

GL or RL? Any callouts I’m missing?

Thanks in advance!
