Don't you think blue marine is also gorgeous. I can't stop thinking of it ever since I saw this pic below. Argh...

Oh no, oh no! I was on the verge of selling my vintage-blue K28, and kept talking myself out of it, as I also have a BBK28, and see this picture of her with her vintage-blue K is going to make me keep it.

Can I tell you something- ever since I got the blue, I use it more than the black, I guess because it suits my style more. I wear a lot of jeans. Thanks for posting this photo.

I have a vintage K28 Royal Blue and I think Mira's look the same. It's a rare and beautiful color. I have a BBK 32 and am on the hunt for a 28.

Mira wears her vintage Kelly's very well even if some can do with a spa. Her nonchalant confidence seem very comfortable with every scratch and age-related blemish of the bags that further enhances the beauty of the bags. I appreciate her for being a youthful fashion-forward influencer who is comfortable with complementing her uber contemporary wardrobe with beautiful vintage bags.

^marbella8... Your blue K28 would be a must-have piece! Hope you will enjoy it for many more years to come.

For some reason, the photos of my navy on its own won't upload bc the image is too large? How can I fix this? There is more light in that photo, and it looks lighter.

You can resize the photo on your computer, tools => adjust size. Reducing it a little shouldn't affect the quality too much. Also, are you using an image hosting service like photobucket? That works better than the 'upload file' option.

I swear for my age, I am so computer behind. My aunt was laughing me the other day! So, nope to an image-hosting service. I will try to reduce it when I am at my desk later today. I really want to see everyone's opinion regarding color. Thank you for the pointer on how to reduce the size ☺️

Hi hi... had some photos in my phone but was all gone when I changed my phone. Will take some new pics and post soon. Thanks for the lovely photos of your two beauties. Both black and navy are such classics and must-haves. While black is the quintessential basic bag, blue tones seem to add a touch of interest while remaining muted. I would describe Navy as an understated pop of colour.

I think Mira's Kelly is more towards Royal Blue.

The royal blue looks so beautiful. Mine is a vintage (1972) k28 navy blue, but the blue tone is only more visible under sun light. when it is indoor, it's nearly same as black. Quite like it as if I can take advantage of the 'dual' colour!

I wonder if it is the same for vintage Hermes bag of deep brown. A lot of the time, it looks black in pictures due to lighting issues. Anyone owns a dark brown Hermes?

And it is my k28 with my b35 View attachment 3572040
