Hi everyone,

Hope you’re all well!

I’ve been at the Kelly elan and would really appreciate your help.

Just how much does this fit? Would easily fit the following: an iPhone 15, Ray-Bans, EarPods, card case, passport and kindle signature?

I recently throw out my Rx Ray-Bans accidentally as I didn’t have enough space to put it into my Kelly mini whilst shopping (ended up throwing out my shopping bag which had my Rx Ray-Bans!) and have vowed never to get a bag which won’t fit my ‘essentials’!

Thanks a million in advance!

Kindly see this post earlier in this thread.
 
Can i ask what is the measurement for Kelly Elan. I found 28cm length x 16cm height x 4cm depth. Is it correct? And just curious what is the length for the top? 28cm is for the bottom length?
 
Action shots. In Paris, at FSH, about 6800 EU a few weeks ago. I’m 5’2”, medium build, about Chanel 36, Dior 38, or us 4-6.
I will use it more than my mkII. The short shoulder carry is comfy and easy, and I normally prefer handheld or crossbody.
Although it’s a 28 base, I’ve included a 28 BB Kelly retourne pic for comparison.

As someone who has been complaining (more to myself) that Hermes in the modern age has never had a decent proper shoulder bag for those of us of a certain age, I have been thinking that this is the one. I was just offered etoupe, gold hardware by my home store but I’m away until mid Dec so this is not going to work out. Bummer.
I think it’s veau Madame judging from SA’s text, but would like you all to tell me.
The 2nd pic is croc in Bleu Baltique, PHW. Gorgeous but not for me.

Don't know if this helps, but I wear prescription RX sunglasses as well. If the glasses don't fit in my bag, and I'm not wearing anything with pockets, I put them through one of the metal rings on the bag. It works with a Chanel WOC. Although usually I just prop them on the top of my head and leave them there.
