BUY BUY BUY! I have it too (with GHW) and it's amazing!!!!!Hello All- I have a few hours to decide if I am going to accept an offer from SA for K25 Barenia. Between this and a mini Kelly, which one would you choose? I do have K25 black box leather and mini Kelly in my collection. Pretty please advise asap![]()
OMG!!!!$15,400 USD. (Feel free to update the price thread. Not familiar with how to do it. Thanks!)
I definitely say go for it if you love barenia, plus PHW is my preferred combo. (Picked up one recently) They may seem plentiful atm, but this won’t be the case for long.
Alexa, remind me to check this thread on Saturday!Thank you so much everyone for all your feedback. I am going to the boutique this Saturday to pick it up. I will post photos!
Yes! Barenia is the same price as Box. It’s a lot rarer and more delicate to take care of during production than Togo or Epsom leather.OMG!!!!This is THOUSANDS of dollars more than a size 35 in Togo.
Please excuse my ignorance, but does anyone know why the high price...is it solely based on the Barenia leather?![]()
UPDATE- hey all! Soooo it turns out the k25 can’t be sold because the strap hardware and bag hardware don’t match! They do have k28. What do you ladies think? Take it in k28??
Wait! Didn't this happen to someone else here? Or did you post about this non-matching issue in another thread?UPDATE- hey all! Soooo it turns out the k25 can’t be sold because the strap hardware and bag hardware don’t match! They do have k28. What do you ladies think? Take it in k28??
It wasn’t me who posted about the issue…but I was shocked when my SA told me because I read it on here too that same issue. I love berenia so much but I’m not sure about 28. I do have 28 in Retourne…but have personally been leaning towards smaller bags like k25 and MK. What to do…Wait! Didn't this happen to someone else here? Or did you post about this non-matching issue in another thread?
K28 sellier is AMAZING but can look a bit big and boxy depending on your frame and aesthetics. I have two and they are my least worn bags - I will be letting one of them go soon. If I were two inches taller, though, they'd be perfect![]()
Yes, this is Hermes boutique. Not sure how this passed their quality control leaving Paris.Is this from an Hermes boutique?
If not, check the authenticity very carefully
mistakes like that should be a red flag
It will suit my lifestyle. I think it’s just a preference but I do love my k28 bags too.Does the size suit your lifestyle? I would only get it if it's something you'll use. If it's too big for you (judging by the fact that you have a K25 and MK and seem pretty happy with them), it's not a good purchase even if it's rare.
If you'll use it, then yes!
Thank you! I think I will just need to see it in person tomorrow. Also asking boutique if I can swap the straps!My personal answer: Yes! Take it. I wish mine was a K28. It won’t be easy to get it again.
Neutral answer: only take what makes YOU happy. It’s not about what others think but what you feel happy with it! If you like K28 and the leather, do it. If you’re not sure K28 is for you, then another bag in K25 will come along. These bags are simply too expensive to compromise!
