@880 Gah! You are gorgeous! You are making me covet Dior and a mini-Kelly. Just when I started my week of austerity. Hahaha, how many times have you heard that out of my mouth?

To be on topic, I am only 5’2, but for me a bag is for utility more than fashion. I need a bigger bag, Kelly 28, Sellier, to hold my hubongous needs, et. Al, tissue, lotion, large Kelly wallet, brush, lots of skin care to keep my skin soft and supple, iPhone, car keys, itag, lemon drops, chocolates I grab from restaurants….

I don't mean to try and sway you off the path of austerity @haute okole but...

Also, my vote goes to the K28. I just feel that there is just something "off" about the proportions of a Kelly 25...
 
I can totally relate. I'm in the minority but I'm openly tired of small bags 90% of the times. I'm not an influencer and if my phone, keys, cardholder and lipstick are a struggle to fit in it means I'm a slave to the bag. I hate receiving a call and then having to put the phone back. When I worry each time I grab my phone if the bag closes well - I'm done.
I wanted a summer bag but I'm going back to black.
@goginercat black outfit is exactly what I'd wear. Mixed with great @800
I would change my mind if you give me Jim Morrison in his prime * above *

I am taller than you and love my k25. It doesn’t look toylike at all (although I understand your concern). It also holds all I need. Have you looked at the bags in person? I don’t mean to be rude - but in my life 5’8” isn’t “tall” and you don’t need to be worried about this - any bag will look great on you.

Lord I had to edit because I read through the thread and I’m shocked by the number of people who can’t fit what they need in a k25. I have a pro max. It isn’t a tight fit. I use my 25 all the time and it fits a ton. I mean things aren’t rattling around, I guess if emptiness is your goal you’d need a larger bag but I’ve never felt like it didn’t fit everything.
