I am 5'8 and just got a kelly 28. It is so tiny IMO! I think the K25 would be too small on a 5'7 frame and my SA said the K25 can't really hold too much and it is only popular because everyone wants one. The bag sounds beautiful, share pics if you end up getting it :smile:.

Will you use an inner bag? after placing an inner bag, there is not really plenty of room in a K28 (mine is Sellier though). For your height, I don't think a K28 retourne will be any kind of large at all.
Beton and gold hardware are unbeatable!

Thank you so much the color and hardware has me SOLD!!! I have inserts in all my bags...which is an excellent question! When I visit my SA tomorrow I should be able to really see how much space I have and size against my frame.

I'm with @Veritybelle that the Kelly 28 retourné is the sweet spot in Kellys (this might be why I'm about to order my fourth LOL).
I love Kelly 25, but for where I live (cities with walking and weather) it is wonderful to be able to add a shawl, a mini umbrella, even a tiny water bottle to my bag.
I also think mini bags will trend down and all this size 25 mania will go away, while the 28 will remain on the smaller side of forever classic.
I am 5'2" so smaller than OP, and K28r looks just fine on me, so it will look just fine on a 5'7" person.

ETA: remember retourné looks smaller than sellier, but holds more.

Try it on. You will know when you see it.

Um yeah that baby is going home with you on Saturday……at 5’7 the 28 would be perfect for you and visually proportional to a 25 on a more petite frame. Unless you’re specifically looking for a very evening cocktail bag I think you’ll enjoy the 28 more (and one can argue if the 25 would even qualify as a cocktail bag)

Well I don’t blame him. The story behind that one is much more interesting. I also have the same exact one :biggrin:
