If you were to have only one Kelly, sellier or retourne?

Well I hope I never meet the monster that would force that choice upon me..... but most definitely Retourne, and specifically my avatar (35 RC, which is also my first K). Because I can make her work with almost any outfit and the size is the most functional for me. I don't have a Sellier on my wish list because I have a couple of similarly "ladylike" bags that don't get out much at all, which is just too sad of a fate for a Kelly.....

Retourne, since I like the Kelly in 35. In 35 Sellier, it looks too "business like." It's my every day bag, so I like the casual look of Retourne. If I could have another Kelly for evenings out, I'd get a 32 or 28 Sellier. Black with PHW. Or Vintage BOX BLACK. Now we are talking.
 
I have retournes in togo and clemence and they have held up well. The only one that may be somewhat floppy is my etain K28. It is Togo and actually the newer one of the bunch, but the other Togos are fine.

Thank you. I love Togo leather. I am thinking about K25. Since it’s small, it may hold up better than larger size.
 
Sellier but in togo or chevre leather.
And I still pray everyday that my SA one day will offer me SO... and my hunt for perfect kelly is over.

No. I don't think it will be over. :biggrin:
lol sellier in Togo or chèvre is my ultimate goal too!! I would love Craire with Gold in Togo for a SO. But I think they do not have the sellier Togo as an option anymore. Such a shame.

reviving this thread and curious if those who responded previously feel the same way. It seems boutique offers these days are almost exclusively sellier due to popularity. My personal preference is retourne due to the relaxed casual look.
