awwww!
God bless you!
Such a lovely update and a truly beautiful bag.
I personally understand all the emotions involved in making this purchase but I feel the universe wanted you to have it.
Your lovely SA held it, and you sold your K28 so quickly.
I wish you many blessings and hopefully we will at some point see an update from you wearing it across a very big baby bump.
Wishing you and your beautiful bag lots of joyful times for many years ahead
:hugs:
PS: So very happy to hear you've been using it non stop!
Omg thank you! I’m speechless and almost in tears now, with such a lovely message :hugs::heart:
Fingers crossed, my dear, whatever the future brings… we’re ready :love:

Congrats!
Thank you!!
Absolutely thrilled for you!!!
So sweet, thank you!! :hugs: ❤️
Sooooo beautiful!
Thank you! ♥️
What a gorgeous bag and you look gorgeous carrying it!
Ohhh thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Love it and the legacy plan! In order for that to work, you must continue to use it and cause all those beautiful scratches!!
Thank you dear ❤️! And yes!! Tiny scratches all around already but, for once, they are already part of the journey :love:
 
I'm a bit of a collector as well but at that price point, I definitely understand your hesitation.
Since you already feel guilty about the price, would you feel worse seeing it unused on your shelf day after day?
LOL, I use my bags, but mostly I just love to admire them sitting on the dresser in my closet. They're like works of art IMHO.
 
Hello ladies, I wanted to share an update with you ❤️
After much internal debate, reading your comments helped me look deeply inside and understand what was my main blocker: guilt, for spending so much money in “just” one thing, that wasn’t at all a real need in life.
I wasn’t sure about selling my K28, but once I sold it (that was fast - less than 24 hours!), I felt more confident and… yes! I went to the store and brought my new bag home :love:
And I can’t be happier about my decision! I have used it since (five days already in a row!), and enjoyed every bit of it. With its original strap, and also with the Sangle strap I had for my K28. Here’s a picture from the day I saw it for the first time, and another one from this morning.
All of you were right, and I want to thank you, once again, for your time and generosity sharing your thoughts and advice. A decision like this one cannot be made in a second, it needs reflection and sometimes Hermès doesn’t allow to think too long. But this time I was lucky that my wonderful SA didn’t show the bag to anyone else while I was making a decision ❤️.
Not sure what the future will bring… but I hope and pray that my future son or daughter will have this bag one day, with its patina and scratches. For me, it’s a symbol of some dreams coming true, after a long time working very hard towards them. Again, thank you, all! You are now part of this story as well, and that makes it even more special :flowers:

I’m so happy I decided to open this thread…! You have all helped me put my thoughts and feelings in order, I was messed up and after reading all of your comments, now I can tell I feel more confident to make a decision.
Whether it is to take it or leave it behind, I feel it’s going to be for good ❤️

Also, I have just sold my K28, which almost finances this barenia gem, so money is not the biggest dilemma now. I just need to decide whether it makes sense to have a piece of art or not. This won’t probably be my most used bag. I would have it as a Picasso. But… sometimes bags are not just for a practical use, right? Bags like this one are for a delightful moment, just for the pleasure of senses.

Let’s see how this ends… but for now, thank you, for your kindness and generosity. I’ve felt like speaking to beloved friends and that’s now also part of the story of this bag for me ❤️
Can I ask how you sold your Kelly so quickly?

OMG, beautiful :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: And so is the bag! So happy for you! Good luck with IVF. Hugs

ETA: when I take mine on public transport, I wear it crossbody and sometimes with a shorter strap (higher up)
so thrilled you got this :D
 
Can I ask how you sold your Kelly so quickly?
I sold it on Vestiaire Collective and I put a reasonable price - 14,000 euros. So it went away in less than 24 hours. I didn’t want to ask more for it, I can see K28s in retourné for over 20,000 but they don’t sell… and honestly, I didn’t want to stress too much over it, replying to offers, comments or worrying that the parcel could be lost 😱. I don’t regret my sale!
