ODE to Kelly 25

Hi all, planning way way ahead since I got a K28 just earlier this year: I’m pretty certain that for my next bag I’d like a K25 noir (unless I chance on a vintage box K28 in decent shape). My current K is a Sellier in Epsom and I love that it retains structure well. For the K25, I’m leaning slightly more towards the Retourne for a more casual look, but I’m also a Very Lazy Person, especially when it comes to bag maintenance, so I was wondering if Retourne owners could share any insight into exactly how much maintenance is required in order to avoid any slouch in a 25?

Hi!
I would very much appreciate your input! I love Kelly 25 and currently have an Etoupe Togo Retourne PHW and a Vert de Gris Retourne GHW, also in Togo. I am going tomorrow to see an Epsom Sellier in Bleu Royal with GHW. I think I only have room for 2 in my collection. Which 2 would you keep? I appreciate it!

I would keep the etoupe retourne for sure, and likely the vert de gris retourne. Personally not a fan of Epsom leather. Etoupe happens to be my favorite Hermes color.
 
H newbie. First k/b/c bag. K25 sellier in Gold epsom gold hw. Although my dream color is Nara/Craie, which I know is very hard to get (for newbie?) I’m grateful to be able to get this bag in 25 sellier that I’ve always wanted. And gold is so beautiful in person. I’m so in love with this bag now.
