Sorry for the late reply. Here is a pic. I can fit a good amount. A cosmetic case works. Or a small card case works. Even a Kelly wallet but that is a bit pushing it. Epsom for me has more room. I have both retourne. This is the ostrich. I think it's not bad for a girl like me who has been used to big bags.
Thank you! It isn't as small. Everyone kept saying it's good for an evening bag but I don't Carry too much. Sunglasses, lip balm and lip stick, keys, compact wallet mini pochette and a kind bar.
I think it's relative. The 20 doesn't fit much. The K25 in dark colour it will look smaller. Also it depends on your proportions. I think it's a good size and will fit the above items. I would say it is great for evening and also for day especially as now many people are loving the mini trend. You could check a constance in 18 or the smaller one. But for me the K25 will be perfect for you.
Yah going to see it. There is also a k28 available not in black but neutral. Trying to figure out what would be good for a first K.
For me a K25 was definitely my first K. Try to see how it works on you for proportions and also the type of leather you like etc. If you don't carry so much the K25 would double as a day and evening bag imo. A k28 in darker colour would have worked. In neutral it is also a great one. Check the ladies and gents on PF who have K28 in neutral and those with K25 in dark colours. Also check which works with your wardrobe. For me the K25 would be great for you. You can always message me and I will answer more so we don't take this thread off topic [emoji4]
Hi K25 owners and fans,
Do you guys use a bag insert for this size? MaiTai doesn't make a 25 and 7rP are nice but I'm worried the capacity of the bag will be reduced further. It definitely doesn't need an insert for structure. Thanks for your thoughts!

Hi MrsOwen, i bought a 7RP insert for the retourne 25, snug fit with the ibsert.. After putting what i carry (bearn wallet, karo pm, tissure, mint, keys) the bag bulged abit bear in mind the 7RP insert is already v "slim". I prefer no insert. I posted pics in the insert thread let me know if you need them. Ended up using the ibsert for my k28 instead. Like you said. The bag keeps its structure anyway so unless you carry way less things dont think an insert is necessary...
thanks, that's very helpful and confirmed for me that while an insert may protect the inside I really don't need one. I'm not really afraid of scratches on the inside of the bag, it's black and I don't put loose keys or anything in it.
I'm wearing the Invisalign braces for a year and have to carry a case, toothbrush, paste and floss with me everywhere. My teeth have never looked better but it's a lot to lug around in an already small bag

Me too am not bothered by scratches inside.. the inserts are more for organisation so in a 25 not q essential you can see everything anyway. Actually if i carry a mini bearn instead of the bearn wallet, theres plenty of space... ooo is your black one sellier or retourne? Did you post pics?? I LOVE this size!
It's black swift Retourne, here's my photo from the Paris thread. I got it at FSH, I had asked for the same bag but in Craie and the SA surprised me with this black one which allowed me to cross a black Medor off my list at the same time. Now I'll wait for Craie in a slightly larger size K but not this year, sailing away to Ban Island soon!
