GG, I haven't seen one in a while, but a few months ago I saw one at Riverside Mall in NJ and also one at Madison Ave.
I think with your fantastic SA, you could still have her locate one for you.

I think with hermesmonkey's latest reveal and this thread, whatever is out there would very quickly be spoken for.

What have you decided on, Tamarind?

Look forward to your reveal.

Tamarind · Jun 14th, 2008, 11:12 AM

Mrssparkles, I didn't buy a Kelly Cut. It was almost a relief to realize I now didn't have to look one any more. (A rare feeling for me where Hermes is concerned...)
I am just sticking with the KL for day and KP for night. I actually used a KP last night and kept thinking how functional it was and how much it held.
What color Cut are you thinking of?
I know what you mean about the KL. I am now nearly kicking myself for not having bought the gorgeous dark brown (ebene?) KL I saw months ago in NJ. I also an ardoise KL at Madison, and a couple of toundra ones at FSH. Now I weep for what might have been. I didn't expect to like it so much, but now I really love using it especially for dressy daytime.

mrssparkles · Jun 14th, 2008, 11:18 AM

^^ What is the colour the KL that you already own, Tamarind? Sorry, I had misunderstood that you're looking to buy one or just bought one.

As for the Kelly Cut - I would like to check out one in Prune Box. I am only afraid that it may be too small for me ... But for now, I am keeping an open mind.

Tamarind · Jun 14th, 2008, 11:36 AM

Prune box sounds yummy and very interesting for evening.
My KL is in parchemin Swift with PH. I always hold it by the handle so I haven't had to think too much about getting the bag dirty. It has been incredibly versatile, and goes great with white clothing.
I would love a darker color KL, now that I have come to love the KL so much. Your toundra is gorgeous and looks to be very versatile too.

ms piggy · Jun 14th, 2008, 11:39 AM

Tamarind, do you have any pics of your Parchemin Swift KL? Would love to see it.

DQ I am not good about talking senses... I think if you love it so much you should seriously think about how it would fit in your wardrobe and get it if it makes sense.
This is the first time I have seen a doblis KL too. Very beautiful.
Now the enabling part (I am much better at this than talking senses...) The KL is much more than a clutch. It holds a lot and functions very well with the handle. I don't really carry mine clutch-like. Because of its size and dimension, it doesn't look too dainty when carried with the handle. And with that, you don't have to worry too mucha bout the bag getting dirty.
My KL is light color (parchemin) and I don't worry about getting it dirty. So if you love it a lot and the color works with your wardrobe, I say go for it.

Tamarind · Jun 14th, 2008, 11:43 AM

Ms Piggy I don't have pictures yet. I've had her for a while but only very recently have started to use her.
Will see what I can do for you.

You know my problem with pictures...
