I am living for this thread... just look at the outpouring of support :heart:

I have always been a big bag person and your photos remind me exactly why - IMO you look AMAZING, and I am in love with the way the K35 dimensions look on your frame. It gives me courage to hold out for a B35/K32/K35 in my desired specs at my store (big bags please come back in style soon so H can make more!!).

ETA: I might have missed it but can I ask how tall you are @CBZ?

I know! I never expected so many responses and such positivity and kindness on top of it. Brings a huge smile to my face.

I’m slightly taller than 5’5” (or 165cm). Hope that helps!

That last photo of you - the bag looks FABULOUS. So ‘je ne sais quoi.’ Love it with your casual vibe. Big, soft, casual, and yet also chic. It has a ‘not trying too hard’ look, which I personally love but is so elusive to come by because of the price tag of these bags, unfortunately. Definitely you are rocking it, not the other way around. Oh, I am just seeing you decided not to sell. Yay!

I'm in the process of cleaning out my closet again and while I stopped collecting Hermes bags a long time ago they are among the few items I never chose to part with. This is due to a combination of reasons like value, emotional attachment since all were bought directly through H, etc. I bought all of my H bags back in the day when bigger bags were the rage so all are on the larger size (B35, K35, Evelyn GM and Lindy 30). I'm trying to figure out if I should downsize my Kelly 35, and likely lose money doing so, to a K32.
I dress down in general and I do think larger Ks seem to give a more casual look and mine is Gold Togo, which I think also reads as casual with the contrast stitching. My favorite bag these days has been my Loewe Puzzle in tan so very similar in color. There's a part of me that think I should keep the K35 because there's more of a size difference between the Puzzle and the K35. The larger K is almost like a tote and would serve a completely different purpose than my small Puzzle. The K32 would be closer in size to the puzzle bag and maybe somewhat redundant (in purpose not looks)?

Attached are some photos of the bag on me. I apologize for the outfits but honestly, I'm often running around dressed how I am in these photos. Thoughts? Am I making it work or should I bite the bullet, sell this one and get a K32?

I think you rock that bag just as you are dressed. It's gorgeous and has a great casual vibe.

You're welcome ;)
I hope I have saved you from the mistake I made...I used to own a K35 in Iris...it was perfect. But I convinced myself that K35's were too big plus it was before aftermarket canvas straps were readily available. I sold it and it's the only bag I regret letting go. I still have occasional dreams about that bag ...............

I had a K35 retourne I rehomed because of the color, not the size. I'd really like to get another one some day. It was a great travel bag.
