Hi everyone!

Well, I was very lucky enough to make my first SO a few weeks ago and I ended up making a Kelly Sellier 25 with togo leather. After coming back home, however, I started regretting a little bit thinking maybe epsom would've been better. I chose togo because I personally dislike epsom but now that I think about it maybe epsom looks better with the style of sellier. I tried to change the leather to epsom the very next day, but my SA said it was a very last minute SO and because they already got the approval from Paris, they cannot make any changes :(
I tried to look up some images of Togo Selliers (not the mou ones) but there are not many out there. Does anyone own a Togo Sellier? How do you like it? Does the leather hold up the shape good enough? I'm so worried and depressed. Wish they got me one more day to make any changes :( Help me!

Someone recently got an SO Kelly Sellier in togo and posted it in a new thread - think it’s called “Thank you ma’am” something. It was absolutely stunning.
I am with you. I would like a Kelly Sellier, but don’t prefer Epsom. I think you absolutely made the right choice and will be so happy when she arrives!!

I have a Croc,, Togo and Chèvre 32 Sellier and they are indistinguishable from one another in terms of keeping their shape. I really dislike Epsom so I think you made a good choice. The Togo is the softest and so the easiest to use but the Sellier construction keeps it looking smart,

You made a wise wise choice. Togo is one of the two best options for sellier IMO (chèvre being the other). Remember that a sellier Kelly has an additional stiffening layer, so a Togo Kelly will be as structured as any other leather. Togo weathers wear and refurbishes corners better than Epsom, so there's that.
If I were you I'd be thankful you could not make a change!

Here's a Togo sellier I used to own, now with a wonderful new owner (I cannot carry 32 sellier, much to my sadness). See how jealous the B's in the background are!
