Hello lovely Kelly experts. Does anyone wear their K28 retourne cross body? Would really appreciate your views on this

On Christmas Eve I placed my first wish list - for a K28 retourne in Togo in a neutral colour. They had a K25 sellier in store for me to try but it seemed a bit small. I’d also just bought an epsom rigide Bolide 25 which might be similar in size. They didn’t have a K25 retourne to try so i went for the K28 retourne. But I have heard that the K25 is better for cross body but I would have to compromise on space, even with an K25 retourne I assume.

If you do a search on this thread, you'll find pics of members wearing their Kelly bags crossbody. Most recently here (in 25) and here (in 28).

K28 sellier noir phw with a fun color strap. Tbh k28 especially in sellier is rather bulky and off for crossbody in petites. Im 5’2”. It will prolly work for me in K25 in sellier as crossbody.

Also im on the lookout for the shorter kelly pocket bag strap. Short straps are the thing nowadays— you can showcase the bag in front of your chest

Helping to answer as 5'1 -5'2.
If it is in sellier k25. Retourne k28 doesn't look as bulky or as big as k28 sellier. But I don't think you can crossbody k28 comfortably if using the original strap. The top handle will hit the bust. I like to use kelly handheld then on shoulder. I feel it is too bulky for crossbody unless it is a mini Kelly.

I've worn my K28 crossbody with the original strap (I'm 5'2"). It's doable but I personally prefer a longer strap.

Beautiful - Enjoy it in good health. A canvas strap is the way to go!

I stumbled across two über-chic examples of casual Kelly style. (My apologies if they've been previously posted.)
