Kelly Twilly Bag Charm

While they maybe "cute" as miniatures, but I think the idea of a kelly charm is fast becoming a cliche.
Sorry this may sound harsh (and with no intention to offend anyone on here).

I am struggling to see the craftmanship or fine details in these chams, as one would expect from a normal size kelly.
At their best, these charms look hastily put together, resembling a copy or a half finished Kelly to me.

Like others have pointed out, it has been done before by other brands and if I remember correctly Fendi has also done micro bag charms which resemble a lot more like their normal counter part with the finer details of their original sized bag.

Maybe in person the kelly charms would have better appeal, but my initial reaction is not a positive one at all.

As someone who collects miniature bags, including the Fendi you posted :biggrin:, I do feel like there are some details on the Kelly charm that were overlooked. I have one of their micro bags from SS17 and know the level of detail they can add when so inclined. However, to work on this scale requires an incredible amount of adeptness that often surpasses larger items. I can only imagine the price if it actually had all of the detail of a Kelly. For this price, the working sangles and tiny feet are sufficient.

Anyway, no offense taken. I think your assessment is accurate; I merely have a different reaction.
 
I look at it now and I’m like meh. But I am certain if I see it in person I will be ALL over it. I just don’t like it on another kelly (To be fair I don’t like anything on a kelly though). Maybe as a tooth fairy bag to collect teeth? :lol: I don’t know what to use it for, but I’m sure if I were to be so lucky to get one I will think of something.... is it big enough to hold a car key perhaps?
