Kelly Elan 101

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.

Did you need a leather appointment to get the Elan in Paris? I love the Elan and am hoping I can get it! Not sure how hard it is to get.

You do need an appointment for Elan in Paris. And during my appointment I was told by SA that Kelly Elan is harder to get than regular Kelly. But I think she meant that in terms that it’s more in demand right now. So it’s harder to get because a lot of people want it .
But to be honest I was surprised because every day while I was in Paris I saw at least 3-4 people carrying Kelly Elan.

Wow! That is good to know. I really hope I can get my hands on one!

I just accepted Kelly Elan in that spec.
I have been waiting for K25 Sellier in white tone for 2 years+ (and stilling waiting 😓)
I think it's a nice addition to my collection, as it can be a clutch and a shoulder bag
My SA said it's not a QB but it took some prespend (1:1+)

You'd better take a look and try it on, so you'll have some idea if its fit your wardrobe

If you really want a B25 you should wait. From what I understand elans aren’t hugely plentiful at the moment so getting it now is going to set you back on the B25.

I got black box C18 first quarter of the year, if the spend included the c18 then maybe 2:1 ..

Thank you, I think that's the best thing to do ,I have an appointment scheduled ,I think that's what my SA is asking if I want to wait for B25 coz, there's non B25 available when I get there or get the Kelly Elan during my appointment...
