glad to report back that I am getting used to the kelly 'clutch lifestyle'! Its great with jackets actually as it does not interfere with the line of the outfit like most bags do. Its also helping me with my self discipline issues. (carry less carry less carry less - repeat like a mantra!)
Looks great, ladysarah! BTW, I tried to PM you but not sure if it went...it's not showing up in my sent items. Can you let me know if it arrived?
Save your money and get what you love - a Kelly. If you go the resell route, you can save some serious money.
yu think? I LOVE it actually, we are going to a private view tomorrow and I will be wearing jeans with my KP as a clutch. Perfect look for the London Art Exhibition season. I am posting a couple of photos I found (clutch/jeans one is a KP actually) which look rather nice, let us know what you think... and anyone with cool modelling shots please post its a great way to share ideas.
brilliant photo - thank you!
I really like those first 2 looks, like them a lot.
Hi Sorry to jump in here, but just to post another idea. I never get enough use of my KPs and thought to use them as a small handbag for weekend outings with the kids when I already have a larger bag with their stuff. Here I've used an Etriviere bracelet as a strap and looped in through the KP straps at the sides. Hope that makes sense! I'm with you on getting as much use out of the KP: good luck with that!
Kellys are a favourite with me too!
Edit: a necklace can work too: I tried this with my 160 Farandole and it worked well. I'm sure another necklace would work just as well.
more KP modelling shots... this little bag has hidden depths - and I now find it really easy to carry. - denim from uniglo, satin silk shirt is chanel and shoes are from CLARKS - naturally!
Thank you for the inspiration! I have a black swift Kelly elongue w/ gold HW and I realized that i could replicate your look with a beautiful faceted multistrand chain that I had on a suede bag from many years ago. The chain is not too shiny and in one complete piece so it fits under the flap perfectly and is just the right length to wear over the shoulder. It is a nice alternative for times when you want to carry the bag,but might need the shoulder option.
