Kelly 25 in black box with PHW, new Apr 2022
DIVINE. What store is this if you don't mind my asking?
it’s Italy, Rome. If you check tread “bag offer” you can see other cities where this bag was offered )))
thank you! I was terribly in doubt about box but when I saw it … it was so beautiful
My SA offered me a K25 Box GHW and a matching Kelly Charm. How rare is the charm? Is it worth almost 2300 euros?
@alizeh316 My store is Amsterdam.

I have a vintage box kelly in 28 and its legit my dream bag x congrats on your beauties xx
Maybe you can add the pic to value the charm? Anyhow the box K cost more than K Epsom because of the leather cost….. more or less 10.100 vs 7800€
In the end I didn't bought it. Too expensive for just a bag charm. It was really well made and fully functioning like a real bag.
The K25 DID come home with me
Hi pinkorchid20,
may I ask you something in terms of use of your box Kelly compared to an epsom one?
I heard a lot about epsom is very stiff and hard to use especially the opening and closing.
How is it with box? Is it the same or maybe a little softer and easier to open and close?
I would be thankful for your reply
I have Kelly in Epsom and also in Box. Both Kelly bags I purchased directly from Hermès boutiques, so my comments reflect usage of boutique-fresh Kelly bags.
I find Box much more stiff and challenging to open and close. Box is a thicker, less pliable leather than the leather used to make Epsom bags. My Epsom was relatively easy to open and close from the start. Box takes quite a bit of wear before it will become less challenging to open and close. Actually, it’s not the opening and closing process that is difficult; for me it’s getting objects into and out of the Kelly that takes patience. Box Sellier Kelly bags are more challenging than Retourne ones. Mine are both Sellier. And the smaller the size of your Box Kelly, the more challenging this process will likely be for you.
But please know that Box and Sellier are oh-so-worth-it!
Best wishes on your Kelly adventures!
If it makes you feel better, I really can't see much in these photos! maybe wait till there is more wear and tear to make the spa trip worth it?
maybe wait till there is more wear and tear to make the spa trip worth it?Thanks for the reply! But is scuffed box leather (where it shows white) something hermes can fix like new easily? Because i read conflicting info on here and wanted to hear others opinions/experienceIf it makes you feel better, I really can't see much in these photos!
if you are hearing conflicting info on here, then the best party (person) to contact is Hermes stores that have craftsmen on site who can be further assist with your questions to your satisfaction.
I already did and they said they have to see the bag in person lol. Do you know anything about repairability of box leather?
