Be honest--do you use the kelly as an everyday bag?

princessfrog, do try to use her everyday. Buy a Longchamp tote that can be folded and stored in your Kelly. (can someone please help me with the name of this bag) Whip it out when the rain comes, so you can store it inside this bag and dash for cover!

Princess Kelly is a beauty. She needs to see the world. Staying at home is boring!

Pliage, mrssparkles.
 
Well, I haven't been able to put the BJ Kelly down since I got her and I find her extremely comfortable to use. When I got my first one, the choco Kelly, I think I was still in such awe of it that I couldn't get myself to use it everyday. Now I'm over that so I'll be switching back and forth whenever I can. It really is a great everyday bag!
 
Yes, MrsS :flowers: I just ordered it online. Yes, she is seeing the world lately (alot) so far so good (not to jinx myself).

I am still in awe of my Kelly (and HAC), and I wait til perfect conditions to take her out. Saying that, I carried her for over a week straight, so I suppose that does count as "everyday".

Icechick, your BJ Kelly and Choco Kelly are magnificent. I can see how you'd be in awe.
 
MillStream- I just read this - :yahoo: I am so glad you like the kelly again. :heart: She is one classy lady, time will wait for her :yes:

I personally am bias towards Kelly am just glad that you love her again!

Ok, here I am referring to my own post and changing my mind completely. I spent the most delightful day with my 32cm Black Box Calf Sellier Kelly GHW and I all but drooled on her. She is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous and totally perfect for me.

I'm a director of an international organization and my work dictates that I dress up each day. Lots of tailored black suits or well-cut Chanel separates, usually worn with a strand of South Sea pearls and a 35cm Birkin or 32cm HAC. But the 32cm Black Box Kelly takes it all to a much higher level of elegance. What I'm wondering is, what on earth took me so long to give this Kelly the respect she deserves?

Isn't it wonderful to fall in love all over again?? I seem to do the same with each bag, everytime I take it out.:heart:

Congratulations, MillStream AND Miss Black Box Kelly.

Good for you, Jasperella! Your bags are fabulous, and I certainly understand your concerns that the weather be perfect before venturing outside with your Kelly or HAC.

princessfrog, now that I'm completely besotted with my 32cm Black Box Calf Sellier Kelly there's no turning back. I'm a bit bewildered by how long it took me to embrace her, but now she's in my heart.

isus, dear isus, I think Hermes should create a position for you. A day doesn't go by without your finding a way to make a special connection with your Hermes treasures. Your enjoyment is so evident and so exhuberant that I look forward to reading your posts!
 
My vert fonce/vert anis togo retourne Kelly is definitely an every day bag. The togo makes it a bit more casual and the retourne shape makes it very functional. I love it so much!
 
I honestly think the straps and the turn lock puts people away from trying or using their kelly as much. But once you get used to it, it's managable.

I am having a bad day/morning, but to see Miss Kelly getting ready to start my day with me, made it a little better. :girlsigh:
 
ok, I had been using my kelly as an everyday bag. :yahoo: It fits everything!! I am getting used to the turn-lock and getting scratches on her :p

She goes everywhere with me, to the local foodcourt/hawker centre/ grocery shopping. I don't use the shoulder strap :D She goes un-noticed at my work place, no one knows that she is a Kelly. :yes:

Now I think I need a Retourne 28 Kelly next. :heart::heart:
