Love the K28, and the leather looks amazing! Eventually you will have a lot of use out of her when you start to get other leather goods & stuffs, trust me :biggrin:.

You have the best companion to accompany you through the last bit of hardship, all the best in your exam!
Thank you! I actually bought a lot of saphir products before she arrived to give her the docride treatment but she looked so pretty I haven't found the motivation to lol

Congrats on your lovely find! It is super lovely. You can never go wrong with a Kelly. Enjoy your new purse and good luck with finals! :smile:
Thank you so much! It was a good price too. I have used it out twice and I found that it's not as hard to get in and out of as I thought it would be. I also don't baby it since it has scratches already but I did hide it under my coat when it rained.

Love Rouge H! Congrats!

Good luck on your exam
Thanks! I feel a bit empty now that I'm finished but I'm not complaining lol
Thanks! x

My first Kelly was exactly this but in sellier. Still my favorite and prettiest bag. IMO you could not possibly have started with a nicer Hermès bag!
Once you have sunnies/a scarf to add, or a wallet, you'll be happy it's the 28 size!
Thanks! Your sellier rouge h Kelly is gorgeous! I saw your posts when I was doing a search on PurseForum and it was what drew me to buy a rouge h Kelly instead of a bbk for my first Kelly. Now I find myself lusting after a bbk because the Kelly is actually easy to use and i can pair the bbk with different coloured twillies [emoji7] I would feel guilty for buying another bag so soon though.

What a classic!
Congratulations and best of luck with your finals.
Very pretty!
Beautiful classic Kelly! Congrats and good luck on your finals
Congratulations on your kelly and finishing your finals! You will have sweet dreams, for sure! The size, color, and leather are PERFECT!
It's a beautiful bag in a classic color and an amazing leather. Way to kick off your collection!!
It's gorgeous!!! Just perfect in every way; amazing for a 1st H bag! Enjoy!
Thank you ladies! I really love this combo.[emoji5][emoji5]

Congratulations and all the best for your exam! I also got a Kelly in box leather for my graduation (well, ordered it then and it came 18 months later lol). Didn't have much use for it back then, but that has changed...
Hi-5! I really love box and vintage lets me enjoy the bag without worrying about the scratches which is a huge plus.

This beauty just g l o w s in the pics. Great size, leather and colour [emoji173]️ Congrats on your first H bag, a true classic!
First is always the sweetest
Congratulations
Dreamy!!!!!! So so beautiful kelly, Congratulations!:heart:
Congrats! What a lovely sheen, great size and color! Enjoy using it and good luck for your exams
She is a true treasure; wear her in the best of health. Enjoy and congratulations!
Lovely bag. Congratulations! She is such a beautiful color and classic too.
Thank you for your kind words ladies. [emoji177][emoji177]
 
Presenting my vintage Rouge H Box Kelly 28 in Retourne!
It arrived in much better shape than I expected.
I love it so much and can't wait to start taking it out. The only problem is that I don't really carry a lot with me (phone card and keys) so I feel that I'm not putting her to good use [emoji23].

Please excuse the messy table - I have been revising for finals and have just one more paper to go!

A cheeky photo with a red carnation - at my university we have the tradition of wearing a white carnation on our first exam, pink for exams in the middle, and red for the final exam. So two happy things together: a beautiful Kelly and finishing exams so that I can get some decent sleep!

Perfect bag. She will always be your lucky charm.
 
Hi all, I was applying some saphir universal cream to the inner handle and inner flap of my Kelly, and noticed patches and I was wondering if these are signs that my bag has been painted (thus making in ineligible for Hermes repairs).
The handle

The second photo shows a little chip in what seems to be the paint? The texture is really hard and smooth, and a little different from the top of the handle.

The gloss is also really intense which is different from the rest of the bag. But it could be patina from the handles being used? But I'm not sure if patina could chip lol

Inner flap:
There are little spots that's a lighter red colour and is more glossy than the rest of the leather. Could be scratches/water blisters or patches where the paint had worn off [emoji33]
