This is the reason i have been considering K32 size retourne with wide canvas strap. The proportions look right and looks chic as a big bag on petite frames.

Kelly sellier wearing as Crossbody when traveling is the best casual look but still feel safety against the pickpocketing people
Hello kelly lovers! Can you help me with how to use the Kelly cross body?
I absolutely love my Kelly 25 retourne and have always worn it on the shoulder.
I have recently added the sellier style size 25, for a more formal look, which is great as it is a beautiful aesthetic and adds a new dimension to my Kelly family.
I have never worn the Kelly crossbody, but as I am selling my constance 18 to fund the purchase I need a crossbody option
!
so…..Does the sellier 25 cross body ok? I am wondering if the corners get knocked? Is it comfortable? Or a bit boxy? Should I order a cross body strap from Hermes or try something cheap from Etsy to try first? I think I prefer the look of leather over a guitar strap, but happy to be convinced if you recommend it being comfortable. Thanks for your input!
PS I have previously ordered an etain crossbody strap for my retourne from Etsy, but the colour didn’t match well and I never used it

I thought I wasn’t a Kelly ‘girl’ until I found a cross-body strap! I have two for my K32 retourne: a woven H one from FP and a ‘guitar strap‘ as you put it from https://www.shoppesalt.com/ The H one is slightly more dressy I suppose.Hello kelly lovers!

Agree. The resale market is softening, so it’s possible to find relative deals. Certainly in 32K sizes, but that is substantially larger than a 28 or a 25. Take your time. Don’t settle. Try a bunch on before you buy.
Be sure about size, leather type, and HW too.ETA: it helps my decision making process to take full length pics of me carrying the bag prior to purchase

It is comfortable to wear cross-body but perhaps not for a long time/many miles and not if it is full. I have worn it on a 30-45 minute walk which was fine but I wouldn't use it as a travel bag because I think it would be too big and too heavy. It's also box which makes it slightly less versatile. Hoping for a 28 for that reason.So the 32 size is comfortable cross body? Good to know

I find my 32 quite comfortable to wear cross body although I do tend to wear it just on one shoulder more often in cooler weather (even with a long woven H strap) because I worry about upsetting the line of my coats! It sits fairly snugly against the frame either way though.
Love this picture....it has a timeless, wistful, romance to it, enhanced by the rapturous colours of the sky and the warm flow of the cafe lights on either side. It belongs in an art book!
Posted this on the action thread too. If you have a jypsiere, its strap can work to wear a kelly 32 crossbody sorry I had to emoji my house slippers, it has my initials, but I wore this outfit with my black leather Gucci princetown mules with fur for a visual.I got a cross body strap for my kelly and love it. Look on etsy they have wonderful straps
