Kelly Berline

[nymeria]

Does anyone own (or has seen) the K32 Berline? I saw a stunningly chic woman with one last week ( in fairness, she would have looked great clutching a paper bag!). She was VERY enthusiastic about it- loved the back pocket, loved the coated canvas ( especially for travel), etc.
Loss to the Wildlife thread, as I spoke with her for so long, and she was so lovely, I COULDN'T then snap her photo!
Hers was the noir/blanc, although I see it also can be found in RH, Vert Cypress and Bleu Saphir ( prob more as well). Limited production over the past few years it seems.
What are everyone's thoughts and opinions?

Just wanted to provide a visual for the bag discussed. Image below taken from Fashionphile.

I'm personally not a fan of the differing colors for the toile but the back pocket is definitely much welcomed.

I agree- although the noir looked lovely in person. The leather and coated noir toile may have blended better, than using B Saphir (which features noir toile) or another choice (VC). These are the same photos I found as well. Loved the one on 1stDibs which states it is "one of a kind"

I think its beautiful.
Elegant and understated.

My store had one in Bleu sapphire; this year or last year, I can’t remember.
It’s not often that I drool over the display cases but I couldn’t help myself and said loudly that I would love one! Not that my store could do anything about that as the bag was reserved for a special customer. I just appreciate that I was able to see and admire it, as if I was going to an art gallery.

I have the Kelly 32 Berline in Rouge, purchased from the store in 2018, I believe—I absolutely love it, and the back pocket is my favorite! Honestly, it has spoiled me so much, I don’t even know if I could use a Kelly without a back pocket anymore, haha. Its just so convenient for easy phone access. The coated canvas/ toile wears so well and easy to quickly wipe off any water or accidental spills. I highly recommend the Berline!

Its truly lovely. And certainly looks in such great shape (even those notorious corners!) that I can’t believe it’s your go- to bag with 3 years behind it!
It makes sense that it would wear well with the coated canvas. Yours is a great recommendation- thanks!

What Kelly is the lady with the Chanel boots wearing? I love the look of the back pocket!
