Thank you again for all of the feedback! Like @papertiger mentioned, I don't have any friends that own B's or K's, so their opinions are always biased whether they lean more towards smaller or larger bags. That's why I like to get opinions from actual H owners on TPF!:wave:

I'm leaning towards keeping it now tho:love: I adore the color and I truly feel like I will regret it if I return it... And like I mentioned earlier, this will likely not be my only H bag. I love the structured look of the Sellier for my first K. It's just so classic and dreamy! And the more formal look works with my lifestyle and that's not a factor on whether I would want to return. But I will definitely want to add a Retourne one day, I'm sure. And I like the fun strap idea! I think that could really change the vibe of the bag on my silhouette.

We're actually heading to Hawaii this weekend. I'm going to make a trip to the store in Honolulu and try my luck there! I have been reading over the H boutique in Hawaii thread with tips and tricks on how to be offered a B or K while visiting the store. I have already picked out some fine jewelry pieces that I hope to get my first day or maybe a Picotin or another cute, fun bag... fingers crossed there's a K in stock that meets my specs and I can get an offer while still on the island.

I think I will hold onto this beauty until I get back from Hawaii though and will decide whether to keep or return based on my luck at the H boutique. WISH ME LUCK!!!

I own the same size but in the Etoupe color. I am 5’4. My style is more casual and I carry my bag often. I am usually in jeans, t-shirts and workout clothes when I am fretting it. I usually wear it in the crook of my arm or by hand. If I need to free up my hands, I carry it on my shoulder.

I thought about going smaller but geesh, I could not imagine losing the space that I currently have. I say this to day, if you like it keep it. The bag is beautiful!!!
 
Heyyyy!!! :wave:

so, I wanted to post an update, as everyone was so helpful when I was trying to decide whether to keep the K32 in my original post/poll… ultimately, I felt the gold K32 was beautiful, but it didn’t make my heart skip a beat…

& after almost an entire month of contemplating whether to keep or return… I sadly decided to box her up and return - (side note: I didn’t get an amazing price on the K32 and couldn’t justify spending that much on a bag I wasn’t immediately obsessed with when unboxing)

After sending her back, I continued stalking the resale market. I happened to stumble upon this K28 in vert vertigo clemence leather… OMG, I’m sooooo happy I decided to keep on hunting instead of simply settling!

The 28 size is perfect for my preference/lifestyle, the color is so yummy and I just can’t wait to take her out on the town :love:

Excited to be a part of the H club now and to continue collecting more beautiful bags. Thanks for letting my share! 352F4CA5-B294-4544-A483-B2D0793FCEAC.jpeg

It’s a beautiful bag, and you wear it well. Congrats! I think certain bags for certain occasions / outfits. Personally, love your summer floral maxi dress but i would pair it with a long colored clutch or matching color small bag. The bag you acquired is amazing beyond, so wearable/ and with fall winter clothes or more casual wear- it’s best of best! Enjoy xx

We are similar in size and my first Kelly was a 35 but in retourné...so it is much slouchier and therefore looks smaller overall.
Ideally I would go for smaller specially in the Sellier.

I agree. The structure of the sellier was throwing me off. I like how it looked in the crook of my arm, but not when worn as a shoulder bag, which is how I plan on wearing the Kelly.

I recently purchased a K28 in retourne (posted above) and I couldn't be happier. I think the 32 in retourne would be a better fit for me, and I certainly want to start hunting for a 25 in Sellier!
