Great pic. Can't get enough of that bag!



I was just in Barneys looking at their ridiculously overprice K25 (27,000) (regular, not exotic) and it looked so much smaller than yours. I love this size on you. I was considering this size until I saw that one at Barneys. Now yours has me considering again.

I really love the size. It does take some getting used to (I am used to the 28 so this felt tiny at first) but it's so light and easy to carry and it's nice to have something a bit different from all my 28's. BUT that Barney's price is insane!!!

looking beautiful, my friend! Congrats on your wonderful kelly!

(((((((luckylove))))))))) I've missed you, my friend!!!!

Are you a model? :heart:

Ha ha! Hardly but thank you for making my day!

Juliet I love your mod shots. Absolutely stunning.

Thank you so much, Rami!:smile1:
 
Hello ladies,
My mother has given me her Kelly which she barely used for my 30th birthday. It is absolutely beautiful, a rich brick red with goldtone hardware. However, I usually dress rather casually and normally opt for less structured handbags such as Balenciaga. I am not trying to sound ungrateful as I know how beautiful this bag is however it does not really suit my lifestyle as it is. Do you have any ideas of how to wear it more casually or make it looks slightly younger? Perhaps by adding a longer strap?
I doubt I would ever be able to exchange it for a Birkin as I seem to remember those are more expensive than Kellys, right? Thank you!
I would kill for this bag :) This is the most beautiful bag... OMG! I'm starting to change my mind about Hermes.

This brick red with gold hardware is TDF. I can see dark denim jeans for sure.

This is absolutely gorgeous. Since this classic bag will never go out of style, you might want to store it until you feel it is more appropriate for your lifestyle.

Like you, I have a group of Balenciaga City bags (03-05) that, like you say, do fit a more casual lifestyle. I easily fit the Kelly into my wardrobe and I'm sure you could too.

Stunning Kelly!! A canvas strap might make it more casual, but I think it would look great with jeans and a t-shirt just as it is!! :supacool:
