Oh I have just one more questions, can you just walk in Hermes and buy either bag? Cause some people told me its really if you're lucky or not (as in, if they have one in the shop at the moment).

Well actually I called Hermes and they have two Kelly bags. One is in Olive (or Tundra) and is 28cm box calf, and the other is Grey with silver hardward at 35cm. They said wait til next week as they may get one more on friday. Is there a big diff between 28cm and 35cm?

Hey, wow olive in box calf... wow... box calf is a super leather for a Kelly.

The difference between a 28 and a 35 is huge. It's two different bags basically.
It really depends on your personal preference.

Yes I think you can get Kellys and Birkins and not just in the FSH store either but only if you are very lucky and the bags just happens to be what you want or close to it. Eg just popping into a H store I saw a Rose Dragee travel birkin, a 25? Havanne matt croc birkin, a 25 orange ostrich Kelly, a 35 gold Kelly and a 32 Havanne Kelly. And they had a black Birkin in the back too! Maybe this was because it was near Christmas...Good Luck!

Yes seems to be! Im going to get something either this saturday, or monday. I might go for a Havane evergrain in 35cm (Kelly) that they have in another branch. I'm going to double check the exact name of the light grey they were talking about, cause grey is a tricky color just want to make sure its a shade I'll like. Also I'm a bit hesitant about box, I tend to find it a bit too smooth for my taste.. scratches will show a lot. Although it is beautiful!!
