Kelly Sellier 28 GHW

[ladysarah]

Hello! I got offered my first Kelly in Paris. It’s a Sellier 28 Epsom leather in Noir. Love it so far and wondering how common this combination is?

I have exactly the same bag, and also it’s smaller sister... Prior I also had two other black Kelly’s with gold hardware in different leathers. (one was a Retourner so a little different )

To most people a black bag with gold hardware is ‘ordinary’ to me though, there were so many nuances. Also black with gold is just SO easy to incorporate in my wardrobe. Living in central London which is very busy and possibly very polluted I mostly opt for black. A lot of people do and yet I still don’t see that many...

Thanks for the reassurance! I think it’s going to be a classic bag that I will have and enjoy for a long time.

I hope you do enjoy it. I suspect buying rare bags, can lead into disappointment, if you don’t personally like them.

It’s definitely a 28...unless both the SA and my pocket book are mistaken lol. Here is a better pic, I’m only 5’1 and a half.

I comment just what I saw on the first picture.
Picture below is from 28cm Kelly. See what is the distance pointed with arrow and then what is on your bag from the first picture.

Optical illusion maybe. It’s the same bag!

On the first picture is 32cm in my opinion. Even if I don't see the back side of the bag proportions also look as 32.

I see no point in arguing as you feel so strongly about one photo. I just know that I only received one bag and it’s a K28. I’m happy for you to send me another 32 should you feel so strongly about it [emoji5]

One picture speak too much for me. Even If I didn't comment the second picture I didn't said it is 28 cm on that picture. But let it be yours. Enjoy your 28cm bag

It is a Sellier so will look bigger than a Retourne even though it is only 28cm.

Well that just took a weird turn...

But errr uhm....
OP, love the k28...rare or not, it is exquisite and timeless... annnd should be a cherished memento from your trip to Paris!

Do you think I don't know that ? For example that Kelly bag (not Sellier this time) also is 32 not 28cm https://www.fashionphile.com/hermes-taurillon-clemence-kelly-retourne-28-rouge-pivoine-232312
The poster above may be have the right and I was rude. Sorry for that.

Congratulations, @Deendeen! She's soooo pretty and a true classic. What a great memory for your first appointment with the lottery system at FSH!

I do see your point though as I have one in the size 28. Let’s just blame on the camera angle .

OP congratulations on your first Kelly, she is classic which you will enjoy using her for years to come
