Hypothetical grail question - black box or natural barenia

[nathansgirl1908]

Hello ladies! I have been lurking for a while and I thought this would be the right time to chime in. I recently bought my first H Kelly in black box - its a 32cm sellier and now I am dreaming about a black box 35 cm in retourne as well! I agree that it is the most elegant and iconic handbag there is and I have come to the realization that there is no turning back now ! Anyway I am really pleased to be part of a forum with such fabulously chic women!

Welcome to the forum!!

Black box...I am more formal with the kelly, so prefer a formal look. I would however choose a sellier, but just MO.

I dream of having a barenia bag someday, but for the Kelly, I'd say box box box! (I'm thinking barenia trim or barenia birkin...but for now it's all just dreaming.) Black box. Yes!

It seems that the black box has a double digit lead in the poll, although some of the superdelegates are still holding out.

Thanks again guys - as always, your opinions are instructive.

Jedi -- I agree with some of the previous posters...

I have both a black box Kelly (sellier, though) and a barenia Birkin. IMHO, black box is classic Kelly. I DQ's barenia Kelly, but I feel that the natural leathers are better suited for the Birkin style.
