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!
Omg you are so lucky! Congratulations love!
I think if you leave the strap on and dangling and carry it like a birkin with some jeans and a tshirt will look nice but still casual
 
lest we forget the pic that started it all (for me, anyway :smile:

Do you guys think it Kelly 32 or 35???

I'd order a matching strap. :smile:
In my case I was actually able to safe me some money, as we already had a black strap, which I use now for the few occasions, when I wear my kelly cross body. ;) Here´s yesterdays example.

May I ask where did you get this strap, because I'm looking for one for my K32 as well :-)

PS: Love your subtle colour coordination, diamond lover! :yes:
