I love this thread for ideas and visit regularly to check photos! I do think that the Kelly was meant to be a fairly casual bag - especially in retourne… in sellier I think the bag lends itself better to a little bit of tailoring - though it can still look casual. ( Please @QuelleFromage remind me should it be referred to as retourner or retourne? )

Oh, I meant Saski! But I loved your pics and wanted to ask. Your Kelly looks modern and young-ish on you. Not to mention you're pretty. Not a "grandma bag".
Surprisingly, from the pics I prefer 28 but I'm biased. 25" looked cute but tiny. What leather is your Retourne? Beautiful bag. Do you think Sellier in 28 would look worse and it should be used only on 25? Because as off-putting as opening Sellier Kelly can be, it's Kelly.

I know but so you can see different sizes on different people :)

I prefer the 25 on me and it fits quite a lot as well !
I would not go for k28 sellier as I find it too big on my frame ! For bigger bags I prefer Birkins (I have 25 and 30) !

Yes, but I'd like your personal opinion. I know the look but how you feel with/about each :) Same goes for Sellier vs Retourne :) (Yes I did check your bag collection :)

It’s retourné! Turned inside out.

Amazing and you helped me change my mind. I'm a bit taller than you (but similar) and would have bought 25 which now seems like a mistake. What's your take on 28 if you don't mind? I'm sure you checked that out :smile:

Thank you! I worried at first that the 35 might be too big, but I really love it! I think the slouch of the retourne really allows for a variety of ways to style it. I find the sellier a bit dressy for me. I do have a beautiful blue jean box calf 32 that I love, but I find it harder to wear.

I think the 28 is a good size that still fits a decent amount! I have a friend with one that I've been able to try on and I'm interested in one myself. It's probably the smallest I think I would go for a bag I would want to use often. And I would want a retourne!
