This is a very helpful. I was curious how you came upon your choices. I am guessing since Kelly is more feminine, the leathers are more refined and the Birkin leathers are more durable for everyday, etc?

I love Kellys in box. Just so beautiful and perfect.
But...for everyday use, I adore my togo Kellys.
