Evercolor vs Epsom

Two printed-grain Hermès calfskins with different hands.

PurseBlog describes Evercolor as soft and almost smooth, with a tiny printed grain and a slight sheen; PurseBop calls its finish satin. Epsom is also printed (heat-embossed) but rigid, with a small, even grain, and holds its shape.
