Hello everyone! I was just offered a Kelly Sellier 35 by my wonderful SA and I’m on the fence about it so I wanted to get opinions of you lovely fellow TPF’ers.
Most importantly, I want to share that I would be buying it without having seen it in person - there is no H boutique in my state.
I have a general knowledge of H as an avid bag lover but am relatively new to this addiction, i.e. I am not well-versed in all their leathers and how they feel/wear. Most of what I know Ive learned on TPF or from ********.
I purchased my first & only Birkin last year - B35 in gris asphalt with gold HW & I loveee her!
I reached out feelers to my SA for another Birkin but he said he only had the Kelly available. It is a Sellier 35cm in Epsom with gold HW.
While my first love is Birkin a Kelly bag is definitely on my radar but I planned to get a couple Birkins first as they fit more with my casual style. Therefore I haven’t started delving deep into learning about them nor have I seen one in person.
From the little research Ive done on the K35 here it seems like it is not a size that’s in demand so probably why it’s available. I guess my concern is whether it will look awkward in this larger size. Is that why not many gals have it?
But Im considering it because I do lean toward larger bags no matter what the current trend may be. My Chanels are large totes, the Deauville & Maxi Flap for example. And, as I shared just now, my Birkin is a 35.
Your input would be appreciated and if you have modeling shots of you with a K35 that you could share that would be AMAZING!
Thank you in advance
