How to wear a Kelly casually?

[ouicestmoi]

Does the 105 sit quite comfortably? I'm not entirely sure which length I should go for, messenger or higher on the hip. TIA

I’m 5’5” and I find the 105 length to be perfect worn crossbody.

that’s great information. How can we get these straps? I was in Paris but couldn’t find a suitable strap.

I’ve had luck at Sevres, but also online.

Could I trouble you for a pic? TIA very much!

It is so hot outside.

I think a canvas strap works really well and I had to buy an after market substitute (aka dupe) until my order comes in.

Saw this in a recent Vogue email. I like the look of this short canvas strap with the Kelly.

My Sellier Mou Kelly is 40cm therefore too big to wear cross body.
I love this look..and think it will work with my bag.
I wonder what length her strap is..I'm guessing it isn't an H one???

I don't think the strap looks like an H one. Will have to try to hunt one down as I'd like to try something like this for mine too. Post a modeling pic when you find a strap that works!

I believe it's a Celine shoulder strap or one that looks like it.

Thanks @Meta!

@loh and @maxroxxherhandbags …raising my hand enthusiastically to signal that I’ve used a shorter strap on my K28! It’s not an H strap - just one of my many generic pebbled leather ones. The below is 20 inches.

Thanks! This is helpful as I didn't know which length I would need. I believe we are a similar height so I will try a 20" one.

This is fantastic @sf_newyorker! Love it!

Thanks so much for sharing. Totally inspired with your short strap.
Do you mind letting me know your height? I am wondering if that length would work for me as well. Thanks again ❤️

I ordered a long cross body strap for my 1999 Kelly (which is supposed to arrive tomorrow!) from Salt (shoppesalt.com) and they also had shorter ones…

@loh - Yes, we are of similar height. The 20 inch is a good length to carry on the crook of your arm. I can get away with using the same strap on a K25 for a shoulder carry. This length would not work for a shoulder carry on a 28 or larger, obviously because of the height of the handles. Now if we could find something at about 22-24 inches!

@luvparis21 - I’m about 5’1” or 155 cm. Hope that helps!
