What about "swift" leather on a 35 cm Kelly?
I think swift in that size Kelly would be too squishy and you would lose some of the classic structure that is part of the bag's style.
What about "swift" leather on a 35 cm Kelly?
Here are my pro's/con's
Kelly:
Con: Hard to get in and out of; too formal?
Birkin:
Con: No shoulder strap, and price
Bolide:
Con: It is not a Kelly or Birkin; to stiif of a bag?? To boring?
Here are my pro's/con's
Kelly:
Pro: shoulder strap, classic look
Con: Hard to get in and out of; too formal?
I have a sellier black Kelly and now I use it when I am more formally dressed, out with DH, window shopping, parent-teacher night. More formal events. That said, if you have blue jean or retourne, they are well suited for casual events. Just need to be cognizant of the color and style (sellier/retourne) you choose.
Birkin:
Pro: The ULTIMATE bag. Love the look and the slouch of the bag
Con: No shoulder strap, and price
I am a Kelly girl, so the Birkin is not an ultimate bag for me. I use it when I am around town running errands and I have to stuff things into it. For me, it is a workhorse and casual bag, I never use this for formal events, regardless of size.
Bolide:
Pro: Shoulder strap, opportunity to purchase a Raisin Chevre, easy to get in and out of.
Con: It is not a Kelly or Birkin; to stiif of a bag?? To boring?
Ahhh, the Bolide has a special place in my heart, it is the one I depend on when I need to ensure that all my things are secure, that no one can put their hands in there and that I can get in and out of it easily and I can wear it with a canvas strap across my body.
I would so appreciate all of your feedback! Just FYI; I am a SAHM but like to go out on date nights with hubby and carry a beautiful bag.
Since you already have an all leather tote, I'd say go for the Kelly, that bag makes me feel super good.
