Hello! I'm torn betweet the Kelly retourne 32 and the 35. I've always loved the 32 but I've found a big deal for a 35 and the more I see photos online the more I fall in love with the size. I'm 5.6 and in a few months I'll become a mom so I need a big bag. I have a chanel jumbo and I know a lot of people think is a big big big bag but I really love it on my body. So maybe a Kelly 35 won't be too huge too? Help me :flowers:

I'm a big fan of the Kelly 35. I'm a little taller than you & I find the 35 perfect to meet my needs.
It will also look good in the fall with a coat, etc & perfect for those little extra needs to put in a
bag being a new mom. Congratulations!

The gold hardware on my Birkin (which I've had for over a year now) looks just like this - with the lock/keys and front hardware being a slightly brighter shade than the feet and inner zipper. All of the stickers have been removed - I took them off after 1 week to avoid tarnishing from the sticker glue. IMO this is not a defect or a mistake; also these are areas of the bag that aren't really visible with daily use (really, the feet are designed to keep the bottom of the bag elevated off of surfaces), so I personally don't pay attention to them. In fact, I never checked until I saw this post.

I see no reason to return the bag, unless there is another issue?

Thank you so much for confirming!

NOOB Question. Started my H journey last year and am wondering why my SAs (US and Singapore) always peeled the stickers off my orange H box. I could take a picture of the sticker, but could not keep it. On IG, I see posts where the stickers are still on their H boxes (SLGs or Bags). TIA for the info!

This varies from store to store, but SAs are supposed to remove the label when a bag is sold. It's part of inventory tracking. I have some boxes with label and some without.
You will see the sticker a lot on social media because some stores do leave the label on, but also because many of the boxes either are fake (yes fakes come in fake boxes with fake stickers and fake QR codes) or, especially with in-store videos and photos, the poster may be showing a bag they have not actually bought.

Thank you for the info @QuelleFromage! Crazy! Fake boxes and fake stickers?!?! I am too much of a chicken to venture out into the pre-loved market. Especially knowing that there are so many of the super fakes out there. I’m in no rush to expand my H collection and will wait for my H fairy to bestow beautiful bags to me. AND my bank account with thank me.

Hi all, as a lover of neutral colors, I am now ready to venture into other colors, which “pink” shades do you think is the best? I see so many different pinks, so any advice, pictures and thoughts would be lovely! Thanks!

H has a huge variety of pinks. What tends to draw you in? Bolder or more subdued colors? Since you usually wear neutrals, are you trying to ease into more color or do you want a real "pop"?

For a neutral lover I would recommend a really light pastel pink. Mauve pale would be a good starter. Although some may argue it’s not truly a pink. But it’s pink to me. :)

I think I am trying to ease into more color. I love bright pink on other people but I am not sure I would be comfortable wearing it. However I also do not want a color that looks “washed out”… totally confused! So I am thinking, if I am going to do color, should I go all out with Rose Pourpre or lighter color like Rose Confetti?

I love Rose Pourpre but it is a LOT - very vibrant. Rose confetti is pretty, or perhaps Rose sakura?

You know what....I would recommend you go get a few cheaper bags in similar shades you're thinking about getting for your H bag and test drive it and see how you actually like the color. I would recommend getting the bag in similar size as the H bag you are looking to get as well.

The more I learn, the less I trust any reseller, even though they genuinely believe they have all authentic bags. There's too much knowledge on the fakey side. (I also just had a very very trusted reseller show me a bag and they had the specs wrong, the leather was 100% misidentified - and I'm not an expert. If they can get that wrong....)
