Help - Kelly Query

Sus - Let us know what happened at the store. I am very bad at making h purchase decision. However, in your case, you can't really go wrong with VL or box when is black with g h/w. Good luck. Your colourful accessories will look fab with any black kelly.
 
yes, you will know when you see/try the kelly IRL. if you LOVE it and can't leave without it, GO FOR IT. if you LIKE it and have to think it through, that's hesitation. well, that's how my mind works. maybe different for you.

i love black selliers with gold. hope it's your size, shape, and leather!!!

can't wait to hear back!
 
Sus, these are two very different leathers....I prefer the box calf, and many of us like box, but it has it's drawbacks too, one, being the weather factor your mentioned.

On the other hand, VL is very hardy ( weather wise ) and beautiful, but, to me, very stiff and dry. Of the two, I prefer the box for it's elegance, history and the way it feels to my hand.
