Thank you very much, QuelleFromage! Can you wear K 28 Retourne crossbody with extended strap? Is the weight significant heavier from Retourne 28 to retourne 25? I also don't like heavy bags.

perhaps I’m a weight wimp compared to @QuelleFromage , :smile:, but I find the K28 significantly heavier than 25. I’m 5’2” , medium build, broad shoulders, size 38 chanel, 6-8 US. Size wise the 28 is okay for me. But, I’m bigger than you, and I find the K32 on the verge of too big. So, by my weird sense of analogy, I might not recommend the 28 for you. If you do really need the bigger bag, a thicker canvas evelyn or other crossbody strap better distributes the weight.https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/non-h-shoulder-strap-success.836923/page-43

can you ask your SA if the boutique has try on bags?

are you strictly a kelly person? Because if I also like the K25sellier, but I adore B25 sellier and find it quite roomy for someone who doesn’t carry a lot. Nice with dresses. I can wear both casually; sellier suits my style.

note: the only reason I can do a size 25 with room to spare is that I swapped my wallet out for a Dior accordion card case. And my sunglass case for the valextra universal one, here:

Hi guys…after having both 25s and 28s (sellier and retournes), I believe the 28 is the more elegant size.

Completely understand we are in a small bag moment (I’ve been hearing that big bags are coming back for years now), but there’s something about the ratio of bag to handle to hardware that makes me think 28 is better looking

Agreed, k28 proportion looks better!

Personally the sellier and retourne styles in the Kelly feel completely different to me.

While the sellier is a more elegant style, I love the slouchier, casual vibe of the retourne, which is also roomier and easier to get into.

I have both in neutral colors (black and gold) and find myself reaching for K25 way more as it holds quite a lot and is easy to carry. I love the K28 size as i do agree the proportions are nicer in the 28 but practically speaking, I reach for it a lot less.

Wonder if you guys feel the same way about the sellier? Do you think the Kelly 28 sellier proportions are nicer than Kelly 25 sellier

On this one I’m torn. I do think k28 sellier is objectively the more elegant bag but it’s juuuust a tad too large. The k25 sellier is a bit more usable

I don’t have sellier so I cannot comment practically in detail, but I feel sellier is quite formal structurally and visually. So smaller size might look better for evening?

I think like others mentioned every persons preferences are different and it simply comes down to what do you carry day to day? Are you someone that has a ton to carry for day to day or a minimalist? I carry only a card case, my phone, car keys, and hand sanitizer so a 25 is plenty of room for me for my normal day to day but if I’m traveling or with my boy, then I use a larger 28 or even a 32 cuz well I’m still used as his maid/butler and my bags are filled with his s$&$. In terms of size for the retourne style I personally don’t see a huge difference. E3ECEB58-BDE3-467A-81C1-45A91672B199.jpeg
