I hope no one has done a thread on this before, but I wasn't able to find one!
I'm looking to nab a Kelly, and wanted to firm up an idea of exactly what I want before I ask. Every time I see a Sellier, my heart goes pitter patter--I think it is the ultimate Kelly, and so incredibly beautiful! However, for the most part, it seems really only available in Epsom right now, and I'm not a big Box person (too high maintenance, and probably too formal) anyway.
I don't abhor Epsom, but I am a.) nervous about long-term and corner wear, and b.) thinking I might be disappointed if the bag isn't one of the soft, luxurious leathers Hermes is known for so I can sit there and pet it like an evil villain and his cat. The Retourne is still a lovely bag, of course, but I can't help but feel like the Sellier is the ultimate Kelly.
So after that long rant, assuming I'm not given another option (I'm no VIP), would you pick the style you want, or the leather you want?? Thoughts and opinions enormously appreciated!
