Hi everyone, I am planning to purchase a Kelly bracelet online this week (my region is still in lockdown), but there is very little information about the bracelet on the website. Does anyone know the width of the small Kelly bracelet? (not the thickness, the width of one side - ie. my Love bracelet is 6.2mm in width). I'm looking at the plain white gold with 4 diamonds. Thank you!!

Hi, do you think a Kelly 28 retourne Gris Tourterelle in excellent condition priced at €9900 or roughly US$12000 is worth buying?
I haven’t owned any H bag yet.

Is this a new bag being purchased from the Hermes boutique or is it a pre-owned bag? If it's purchased at Hermes, the price is what it is. (No "give" in the price). Purchased from a reseller it strikes me as rather high but if the color is really important to you -- a lot of people like that color -- you could wait for a long time for that color in that size bag to come around again. You should get the date stamp to find out when the bag was made.

Thank you it’s a preowned bag from 2011 and is the lowest price I could find for Kelly 28 in excellent condition.
I’ve just casually bought some small accessories from H and never had a dedicated SA so I’m just afraid of years of waiting until I can get a bag :(

There was one year where H had a problem with the leather, it tended to smell in hot cars, that sort of thing. I do not remember the year but that's why I suggest you get the letter date stamp. There's threads on this problem, bags were generally sent to Paris via the boutique and remade.

I see your point about getting a "grail" bag while it's available. You could get 4 or 5 bags in other colors and sizes but if you really want a Gris T in a 28, that's the one you should focus on. Those 4 or 5 other bags wouldn't be as special. And even if you're offered a bag in the boutique it might not be one you find desirable. I got offered a brown bag and I seldom wear brown. I think I got offered a large bag, a 40 in a bright reddish orange, which I rejected. That's the sum total of my offers. But these offers became a discussion about what bag I really wanted.

Small bags have been fashionable for quite a while. But large bags will come back into fashion and then a 28 could be even more difficult to get.
