Is it me? Kelly in Togo or Clemence doesn't seem right

[lisawhit]

Is it me? For some reason a Kelly doesn't seem like a "Kelly" when in Togo or Clemence. DYKWIM? Please chime in. I would love to hear your opinions.

I'm the exact same, but I think it's because I only like a Kelly in sellier as retourne looks too relaxed for such an elegant shape

I love the Kelly in any leather.
I love it Retourne or Sellier.
I just LOVE it.

I have to disagree - I have a togo 35 kelly. I do know what you are getting at though. Mine is a less grainy togo, but for my style I love the way it's a more relaxed version of what can be a very smart bag. I would feel I would have to smarten up if I had say a box kelly. Works casually for me.

 

[mooks]

It's definitely your bag Raz!!

I have a 28cm in clemence and 35cm in togo (both retourne). I understand your thoughts coz sellier kelly (esp. in box leather) is very sharp and smart-looking. Yet kelly in clemence / togo aren't necessary go slouchy. If the bag is well cared of (like not stuffing a lot of things in and use appropriately) these two leathers can still show the beauty of a kelly

I think in brighter colors, these leathers give this bag a little more casual and carefree style.
I don't really care for a Kelly in black togo, or clemence though.

I received a Kelly in Togo at Christmas and asked to have it exchanged with box sellier in any color.

I am debating this as we speak...trying to decide between a Raisin togo Birkin or Kelly. I love the Kelly, but am worried about the shape of the bag being maintained over time in the slouchier leather?

I love my togo Kelly bags I have not had any problems with the bags retaining their shape.

Agree with bella,luvbirkin,Poshhony,Raz. I just ordered two 32 Kelly.a black in togo a fuschia in chevre.I always thought I can wait a few more years to carry a Kelly. now I couldn't wait to have them. why, I think the slouchy felling give the Kelly a more casual and youthful looking.great with jeans.I am not that young ,not that ''old'',right in the middle.a slouchy Kelly just feel right. at this moment.I don't mind to have a croc Kelly this second either....

Does anyone have a pic of what a slouchy Kelly looks like?

 

[gracekelly]

I have both. Sellier is more formal and dressy to me and retourne is more casual chic. Love both!

 

[Rose]

I have both, I love my togo for times when I need to be less formal.

I really love a grainy leather Kelly versus the smoothness of Box or Swift leather. It add another dimension to that timeless style. I think it looks more modern than Box leather. A less fussy alternative.
