Ahhh sorry one is a 32 and one is a 35!!I am your height and can carry a 35 in a slouchy leather but it looks like a big work satchel, not like a Kelly. 32 retourné and 28 work much better.
Why do you "have to decide" between two 35s?
Well, as much as I love Box, a 35 in such a stiff leather will look big, wnereas Ardennes has some more slouch.Ahhh sorry one is a 32 and one is a 35!!
I've looked around, but I really liked the patina on the hardware. I was it and just thought it aged well if that makes sense. As I was talking to the seller she had the 35 ardenne leather in like new condition and I thought, oh perhaps I should go for this.35 will be huge for you. Why are there only two choices ? There are a good number of vintage kelly in box out there.
I ended up going with the 32 size! I tried on other bags with close dimensions and think the 35 wouldOh I see, I still think 35 maybe too big. But you may pull it off easily. Perhaps should go and try it out ?
