All this talk about Kelly bags around here (Gig's post about the craftsman and process) has made me want to, perhaps, concentrate on getting one of these first, maybe even before the Birkin. In trying to convince Noriko that this can be a fun, youthful, casually-chic bag, I think I went and convinced myself!!
Yes, I want a Birkin. But I think I might shoot for a fabulous Kelly 32 in Chevre first. I dunno, I have this vision of this bag being quite practical and carefree/fun when worn with the straps undone and just the little lock fastened. Also, there's the added bonus of the shoulder strap (I like it worn crosswise like a messenger bag) when I'm toting around my kiddos.
I think I need to relax about the Birkin and let one find ME, instead of the other way around. I think, right now, the Kelly might be more attainable and I love the tradition of it.
Sooo, Kelly owners (or fans), chime in here please if you'd like....
