Huge congratulations on getting your dream bag!! It is absolutely stunning and a collector’s piece of art.
This thread of yours has touched my heart, because I totally relate to your hesitation and first question. I’ve gone through the exact same dilemma recently - and posted it in this forum. I was offered this same bag, a Barenia Kelly 25, (but PHW), which had also been my holly grail since forever. And I just couldn’t mentally cope with the “blame” of spending 11,800 euros on it. I hesitated a lot, and thanks to the ladies in this forum I ended up selling my K28 retourné, which I had used less than 10 times in two years, and bought the Barenia jewel. Two months later, I can say that I couldn’t be happier about my decision! I have used it almost every day, I enjoy it so much, even just looking at it on my desk.
I wish you the same feeling of joy every time you wear or look at yours :hugs::heart:. Enjoy it in good health, you totally deserve it!
Here’s mine, that says hello to her twin :P

You are the envy of all barenia lovers. The bag is absolute perfection. The sticker shock, I can relate. When did bags get so expensive for non exotics? You made the best choice as it’s your HG!!!!! I am sure just looking at the bag makes you smile. You are one of the few lucky ones that were able to get a very rare bag that shows up whenever it pleases Paris to send it.

I hope one day I’m as lucky as you. Barenia Kelly sellier is 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤😍😍😍😍

I couldn't agree with you more. I am really planning on limiting my bag purchases this year to 4 or less but if I had a chance to get that bag I would do it without question...lol

Thank-you everyone!! I love how we support each other on this forum.

Now I'd like to find a TPM Evelyne strap, so I can carry the bag cross-body. I usually special order Evelyne straps for Kelly bags, but this smaller 25 cm bag would need at TPM strap. I looked up Barenia TPM Evelyne bags and the straps don't detach. Does anyone have a good source for AUTHENTIC Hermes straps?

Replying to an older post in case it helps someone else. For a 25K with double rings, I use an older Evelyn woven strap (the hardware is smaller than the classic Evelyn hardware today) . A TPM woven strap would also work (in gold color). The older barenia TPMs do not have detachable straps. I believe the only other option would be to ask Hermes to customize a strap.

If it makes you feel better, the bag will likely cost $17k in a year.
