Beauuuutiful color LaVan ... Congratulaaaaaations and what an amazing experience at the Hermes store!!! I love it when an hermes purchase has a sweet story behind it. Enjoooooooy her!!!!

[Ninja Sue]

LaVan, your new Kelly is divine!!! Abolutely gorgeous. Now I am even more impatient waiting for my 25cm chevre Kelly to arrive!!

[Greentea]

Had to take a second look! so pretty! I think Hermes should have called this color Aubergine, though. Sounds much nicer than prune! But the size, leather, hw and color combo is a winner!!

[Meena]

Congrats, La Van!! You 25 cm kelly is super cute and classy!

[La Vanguardia]

Many thanks everyone! I'm really loving this color, and you can see it more with the contrast of the other colors/things in my bag.

Greentea - Correct, aubergine sounds nicer than prune.

Ninja Sue - I'm excited for you too in getting your chevre. The good thing about my bag is that since it is chevre mysore, the grains are proportional to the size of the bag. I think the grains of chevre de coromandel might fit bigger bags more.

lilach and pinkish_love - I'll let you know when I go to Dubai then. I've never been in that part of the world.

HiHeels - Here's a picture of what can the 25cm can hold.

Wow! it holds a lot!

[S'Mom]

DItto, GT! I'm so surprised! AND you can fit the folding umbrella inside? I've got to rethink my 28cm because my stuff JUST fits without any room to spare!

...but I'm a "throw-stuff-inside-my-bag" girl. I might start out the day with just my basics but by dinner time I've got a WHOLE lotta other stuff shoved inside!

[La Vanguardia]

Yes! It does hold everything! I'm really surprised.
- Umbrella (I need to buy a new color that matches my bag )
- GM agenda
- Thill CC holder
- Bearn wallet
- LV mirror
- Pen case
- Mobile phone
- Lip balm
- Lipstick
- Hand lotion

However, bear in mind that I don't have a cosmetic case because I need to get a tiny bitsy one since the one I have will buldge the bag. Also, you need to organize your stuff and not just throw it all in there.

[S'Mom]

Oh Lordy....this would mean I'd have to ...gasp!....change! I just run across so much stuff during the day that manages to find its way inside my bag!

LaVan....that color is FABULOUS, BTW. I LOVE it! Seems like it can just go with everything. If I didn't say it before, CHAMPAGNE TOAST TO YOU, Girl!

[dianagrace]

Greentea you are right, Aubergine sounds so much better.

La Van: I am amazed at how much that bag holds, I can't believe you can fit an umbrella in there. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

[La Vanguardia]

^^Yeap! Where I live, an umbrella is a necessity!
