The photographs may appear slightly different from the actual colors due to differences in light source, angle, and viewing environment at the time of shooting.

Introducing: New colors that blend into your everyday life and feel just like the classics

"I'm thinking about getting an étoupe, but I want something with a bit more character."
"I want to choose a color that's not too safe, but can be used for a long time."

I would like to draw your attention to such people. This is "Vert Loden (V8)," a new color that is being talked about as a new color for 2026.

This is a color that has often been seen in accessories until now, but it is now attracting attention as a calm tone that is likely to attract attention on bags as well.
Although it's not flashy, it has a different kind of satisfaction than standard colors, and its appeal is that it's easy to incorporate into everyday use.

GINZA CELIA, who has been seeing Hermes in Ginza for many years, will explain the practicality and appeal of this color.


The true identity of Vert Roden (V8) - the deep "Roden Green"

Vert Loden is a deep green color reminiscent of the Loden coat, a traditional cold weather garment from the Alps.
The calm color, based on moss green, has an exquisite balance of not being too bright and not being too heavy.

The overall impression is quite chic and not too bold.
As a result, it blends naturally into your outfit and is a color that is easy to consider for those looking for the "long-lasting peace of mind" of Etoupe.


From an appraiser's perspective: If you own Ecorse (4C), which colours should you compare and choose?


From a professional perspective, if you already own Ecorce (4C), this is a color you should carefully consider your priorities .

The reason is simple: both Ecorse and Vert Roden are deep, dark earth tones.
Ecorse is closer to brown and has a slightly warmer impression.
On the other hand, Vert Roden contains green, giving it a slightly cooler, more masculine feel.

Although the colors themselves are different, the overall tones are similar, so it is true that they tend to play a similar role in a wardrobe.

On the other hand, for those who don't yet own an Ecorse, the Vert Rodin is a very viable option.
For those who prefer a slightly sharper look than brown, this may suit you better.

Styling Tips: Gold hardware makes it easy to create a sophisticated look

Vert Roden is a color that pairs well with subdued outfits.

For example, pairing it with a heavy coat, cashmere knit, or wool material will help you create an intelligent and elegant impression.
It's especially easy to incorporate into your autumn and winter wardrobe, and blends naturally into dark-toned wardrobes.

Gold hardware would be better suited to bringing out the softness and depth of this color .
The muted green tones add just the right amount of elegance, making it easier to create an elegant look overall.

How to view asset value | It is unlikely to collapse significantly, but it is not a color that will lead to a market rise.

Frankly speaking, it is difficult to say that this color is likely to grow significantly in terms of market value, like black or etoupe.

However, Vert Roden is a dark tone that is not easily affected by trends and is also a practical color that is easy to wear every day.
These colors are stable in the sense that their evaluations are unlikely to fluctuate drastically.

Therefore, rather than being a color that prioritizes a rise in market price, it is natural to think of it as a color that is easy to choose as a piece that you can enjoy for a long time .

Material compatibility: Ostrich and crocodile create a deeper impression

Vert Roden is a color that is elegant enough even when worn with regular leather, but the impression it gives can change dramatically depending on the material.

In ostrich , the unevenness of the quill marks creates shades of color, making the deep green appear more three-dimensional.
This is a great combination for those who want to enjoy not only vibrant colors but also rich expressions.

With crocodiles , the sheen and shading of their scales tends to make them look more substantial and special.
Even though it's the same green color, it gives off a much more luxurious impression.

Because this color can look different depending on the material, it's worth considering the type of leather as well.
