She's arrived! Introducing my preloved/new to me Kelly35/PHW, togo. IMG_4408.JPG.
Honestly, I had two sleepless nights wondering if I made an error in the size (too big, too heavy?) and PHW vs GHW. However, when I opened the box I realized I made the absolutely perfect decision!! You can't have one bag serve all your needs and I have to say this K35 is smaller than many bags I carry everyday. This is perfect for my needs. I also worked with a great reseller that answered all my questions, provided the original receipt and has a return policy. (excuse the tag in the photo I have two days to return if I want to but the tag needs to stay intact). Doubt it will be leaving my side but keeping the on just in case for the next couple of days). This is my first Kelly. I really wanted to buy it through the boutique, but despite so many purchases, my SA ignored my request for this bag.

Special thanks to liz_, catsinthebag, keren16, weN84, Suzie Tunes, and Quelle Fromage for all of your ideas, comments, suggestions, and support!!

Congrat on this beauty and a warm welcome under the Kelly lovers. Followed the time of your decision and I also think the K35 is a wonderful size due to she is not so deep. I have now since a few weeks B35 and have to say IMO the K35 is much more comfortable.
Enjoy her she looks stunning and absolutely like new.:loveeyes: :hbeat:

Thank you. I am really so happy with my decision!!:heart: I see in your avatar you have a goldie. May I ask what leather and hardware it is? It's beautiful.

Thank you. Yes this really is in fantastic shape and I am really lucky! No stains, very mild small scratches on the hardware consistent with wear (from 2015) but so fine you have to look hard for them. No corner wear. I would not hesitate purchasing another K35 it is a great size for day to day needs. Just over the moon that I decided to go for it!!:heart: I hope you are enjoying your B35 it's a great bag too!!

Congrats, it's beautiful! The 35 is a great size, IMO. So useful for everyday. As someone else said, its roomy but not as deep as a Birkin or Bolide of the same size, so it still appears sleek. I hope you have a great time with this bag!

Congrats on scoring a beauty !! The K35 is actually smaller in width than the B35 and the retourne style is less rigid so you won't bump the corners. Enjoy her in good health.

Thank you everyone for such warm wishes :smile:
I am over the moon ecstatic with the leap of faith I took on a preloved Kelly (never owned a preloved bag before) and the size. It is in immaculate condition, and it is everything I could have imagined it would be!!! xx

Hi Dr2014, thank you! Yes it is Kelly 35 Togo Gold/PHW. It is two years old (2015) and was in really great shape when I got it. Mild scratches on hardware, very very mild wear on corners/edges but consistent what I would expect with a bit of use. You have to look really close to see any of this wear. I got really lucky!!
