C8A43D60-3824-4127-BEC6-BDDEED7E27AF.jpeg I have mix feeling on my brown bag, it can look a bit 80s and you can see the retain value of brown is always less than the other earth tone in the Hermes resell market. But on the other hand I found it incredibly easy to match with my black white grey navy outfit. Here is my work horse brown Hermès Kelly 32. Tks for letting me share.

Two custom brown bags I designed from my two favorite brands...
Rough & Tumble XS Hobo in plonge saddle lamb
Massaccesi Aurora in cuoio vacchetta

I always come back to brown!!!

You could design full time!

I like the way the zips pull outwards on the R&T and the asymmetry on the MA suggests saddle connections but without being gimmicky :tup:

To be honest I didn't particularly remember the 1980s but I thought it was all supposed to be about black and chrome. I always think of the 1970s was a very brown decade - at least judging by the wallpaper I've torn off in my house.

Anyway, I think your K is beautiful and I actually want my next K to be a brown Retourne 35 pw. Not sure which brown, possibly not choc cos I already have 2 other bags, but seeing yours only affirms my wish. Lovely work horse.
