Im so in with Kelly 25 VdG. It is amazing. Best neutral. Perfection beyond. I my new Vert de Gris.
Likefor the first, quite worry about the color when SA offered. When go and see, fallin in with the neutral tone.

I think it would look great with all of them! I have a KP in vert olive, and it's very similar to VDG. Military olive with very underhanded grey/brown tones. Anyway I love it because it pairs well with pretty much every color, including the pastels you mentioned (only color that I don't love with it is navy, but even then it's workable with the right look)

thank you @classicgirll this is very helpful!

Youtube vid of VDG Kelly:

thanks for the video @xwendzx!

Any preference for retourne versus sellier. My other dilemma is that it is retourne and I am partial to sellier. I love the vert de gris color (as I do see it is a lovely neutral), size, hardware and the overall look. When I try it on the difference between retourne and sellier is inconsequential but, when I stand it up I can tell. I would love some opinions. Thank you

With k28, I would prefer retourne. K25, sellier. But that's just me, speaking as a petite person! I think if you're taller, k28 sellier could look okay too - but sellier lends a formal look to a color that's pretty casual (essentially an army green), which may look slightly odd. I would go for Retourne most likely, as long as I didn't have too many already

Thank you this is very useful. This would be my first K, and like you, I am petite. Your reasoning makes very much sense to me. Further, this is probably why when I try on the Retourne it looks "just right" considering the more casual/neutral color and due to my size it allows me to be just neutral of casual versus formal. I do understand now the necessity to try something on as I had assumed the k28 sellier in a neutral would be a better fit for me. I will persue the Retourne.

Absolutely agree with classicgirll. I got my first kelly recently and requested for a k25 sellier only as i've tried the k28 sellier on before and it was just too big and boxy on me (I'm 5'4). For k28 I would definitely go retourne as you'll get more everyday wear out of it.

Congratulations, please share when you receive it!

Hello all! Forgive my newbie question, but is vert de gris a seasonal color or is it a core Hermes color? I’d love a K25/28 in vdg but unsure how hard (harder than any K/B normally is…) they are to come by. Thanks for any insight!!
