Hey, didn't LZ have a Kelly Flat a while ago? Someone did, I thought...in blue jean?
Okey dokey!!I love my Kelly Flat in gold swift since it is sellier. Also, I like the old design of the metal loops that hold the handle to the bag. I also like the metal guides usually present only on birkins or travel Kelly.
I am not so crazy about the bag wanting to fold if you don't have much stuff carried in the bag. To fix this problem, I put in my bolide pouch inside the bag which makes the bag stand upright. Sometimes I use Hermes mousepad to do the trick. I usually don't tie both ends of the strap and instead use only the longer strap to loop around the metal guides to secure while the flap is untucked. The extra strap is also very cool and can be used as a shoulder strap too. Imagine having a Kelly Sellier in beautiful souple gold swift with contrast white stitching is the reason I got this bag. Super lightweight and chic to carry especially with jeans and a tee. See it first in gold swift and you might just take it home.
Yup! I owned a blue jean one. Owned being the operative word since after using it once, I sold it. I like that is can fold flat, it looks REALLY FAB when I carried it - all tied up. But it is SO IMPRACTICAL!!!
It took it on one of my business travels... Let's just say that after I had it closed, I didn't want to open it again. Unlike the regular kelly where you can just turn the clasp, you actually have to tie the two straps or the bag will just "hang open" which looked really !!!
I felt really bad about selling but it was just going to sit in my closet and in any case, something else caught my eye....
he, he, he...I'm considering all these bags I've never considered before!
I'm SOLD on the Lindy, though....still can't believe it!!
HH, here are some pics I took many months ago when I first got the Kelly Flat. Hope this helps.ooooooo, gotta admit, in gold swift.... i'm pretty enamored.
jaegerhomme any pics of it in action, how it looks on the shoulder, or closed/buckled/flap on the outside (but unfolded)?
