An update...
So I went to have a look at the bag 1st thing yesterday morning. It was a souple. Boo hoo hoo! I was hoping it would be a rigide. A 28cm souple Kelly is more casual than a 28cm Rigide, which would have been more dainty and "proper". The colour and leather was fabulous!
While I was loving the colour and leather, especially the leather, I was really uncomfortable with the size. So I've decided to pass and wait for a rigide 32cm or 35cm Kelly instead. Thanks to all your advise!
While I was in the store, there was this fabulous 31cm Chamonix Potiron Bolide. Chamonix is simply divine! Love love love the leather! While the leather may require more TLC & care, I really want a Kelly in this leather. Especially in rigide. Sigh...so gorgeous! The thing about the Ks & Bs is that when there are more specific requirements i.e. specific leather, hardware, size combination, the longer the wait! With my orange Kelly and the BJ Birkin, I was really fortunate as the wait was not more 2 yrs for each. 13mths for the Kelly and just under 2 yrs for the Birkin. Of course, I had less stringent requirements then as they would be m 1st of each. With the Birkin, I was really, really fortunate to get a 30cm BJ! So now I'm pampered and I expect a bag soon! Which is quite unrealistic...hee hee! Back to the patience and waiting game...
I hope the Hermes Gods who art in Handbag Land will bless me with a 32cm & 35cm rigide chevre/box/chamonix SOON!!! And more blessings of assistance to all those who are waiting eagerly for their little beauties...i.e. Noriko for your Fuschia beauty!
