Hello all, i'm thinking to get a pristine condition 2017 kelly retourne 35cm in black togo PHW as an everyday bag, i know that this is not the right time to purchase such an expensive bag but i found quiet reasonable price for it (and it comes in full set). A little bit about me i work from home most of the time even pre-covid, so i don't have a big/work bag in my collection and i'm used to bringing a small bag with me out. A retourne kelly has been a dream bag of mine, but you know sometimes even with your dream bag it's just better admired from afar as it might not work with your lifestyle and etc..

As i never 'experience' the bag in real life, is the size 35cm practical at all? and is the size/style in general good for everyday use? Planning of using it as a shoulder bag with wide amazone strap. As this is such an expensive bag i'm planning to use it even let's say to the grocery store :lol: cause it's all about cost per wear for me... Thank you

Cheers :biggrin:

LOVE my K35s and also use them with a wide crossbody strap (I have a small collection of straps from H, Prada, and Mautto - it's really nice to mix things up for a different look). It's a fantastic bag and you can't go wrong with noir! Mine go everywhere I go, grocery store, etc. Good luck and enjoy.

I prefer 28. 35 can bump into things, too bulky for my taste. The bigger the bag , the more tempting it is to stuff it. I feel Kelly is too much of a treasure to make a work horse. I love my 28 and use it a lot but I treasure her, protect her from overworking or getting hurt ... she gives me enjoyment each time I pick her up
 
I sold my kelly 35 as I use my larger Birkins more. I think the colour was the main issue that didn’t work for me. But a kelly 35 is really chic and if you like the crossbody/shoulder option it would work really well as a casual everyday bag. Fits a lot too! I love kelly 32 as a cool but casual day/relaxed evening bag.
