I'd have to agree with taxvixen and go with the Kelly.
Now don't get me wrong - I
LOVE the Birkin for it's "look"...but to me, owning a Birkin is like owning a Rolls Royce: gorgeous to look at,
lovely to sit in
and to be seen in - but so darn impractical to use! Guess I just have such a hard time with hand-carried bags. And while I love, Love, LOVE my JPG Birkin, I would love to ask Jean Paul:
What WERE you thinking when you failed to include an inside pocket?!!!
So why do I consider the Kelly to be the best bag that Hermes has created? Well, I love
the fact that I can carry my Kelly in my hand or with the shoulder strap - I love that it opens from the top instead of hanging "open", I love it's look and it's compartments....everything
.
And I still get the "WOW, is that a real Hermes Kelly?!" compliments where ever I go!
The most practical bag from Hermes? IMHO, I'd say the cabas herbag. I have two and use them as my everyday "work horses". They fit a ton of stuff, have practical interior pouches, key fobs....are interchangable....just wonderful.
Fun thread....thanks Koukanamiya
