This thread caught my eye. Given I've been out of the H loop as far as bags go, I needed a refresher. Ran across this article that seems spot on to the OP questions. I'm not familiar with this company, so someone else can address that.

This is a pretty good article but in actuality, Grace Kelly primarily carried a retourné Kelly, as seen in the iconic “baby bump” photo.

If you see yourself getting a 25 and a 28, I’d get the 25 in sellier and the 28 in retourne

This. I’d go for the 28 retourne. Classic.

I actually have wondered if they made both Retourne and Sellier together, or if one or the other came later.

I’d get the sellier I like its look in Ardennes leather!!
My favourite leather for this specs is chèvre though.

Honestly it would be a dream come true for me to own both styles

I'd look at them at two separate bags. The Retourne, IMHO, is a much more informal bag. The Sellier more dressy. I'd use them differently. The Retourne as more of an everyday, travel bag. The Sellier as more of a special occasion bag. I have a noir 28 Sellier K with GHW, and would add a noir 28 Retourne k with PHW to my collection in a heartbeat.
