ODE to Kelly 25

Well, let me just add to what has been said.

I used to think in the same way that a K25 crossbody was something to frown upon. Until my last visit to the shop…

I never even considered buying a Kelly up till then.

My SA told me to at least try one in 25 or 28. So I did … and I must say… wearing a K25 crossbody is just dreamy. For the first time I am considering putting a request for a bag.
I can add that it will make it different defenetly more casual and practical (in the looks) as for the accessibility is waaaaaay more complicated and it has to be closed to be a great option.

But since I tried it crossbody I am a fan.

I do believe both sellier and retourne are amazing options but two very different bags. They give such different vibes…
May I ask if you tried the seller or retourne version? Thanks

I tried the sellier. But I am thinking of asking for a retourné.

Not shure yet.

Or chèvre or box sellier or Togo retourne.

I have a casual style in mind for when I wear this bag.

Now it depends on the style i want to achieve. I can truly advocate for both styles.

You know, I truly believe it is part of the fun to think about it… to let it simmer … to not rush it.

As usual, I will trust my SA. I am shure I will be surprised and helped with something unique and in my style. So not overthinking it too much…
 
Hello- not sure if this was answered previously, but i'm desperately looking for a bag pillow for my K25 Retourne. I tried a bag-a-vie pillow, but felt it was a bit too small for the K25, (it only filled the bottom of the bag and not the body). Any suggestions/personal recs? Thanks so much.
 
All my Kellys are stored on their backs, with a pillow inside, felt on and sangles done up, in their dust bags but with airflow. This is what every artisan I've ever spoken with has told me is best. JIMO K retourné bags should not be stored standing, YMMV. There's a whole, very long thread on bag storage in main forum.
do you mind sharing which pillow you use for the retourne kelly 25? can't seem to find a good one! ty

Hi! I’m trying to decide between sellier and retourne and would love your help. I already have a K28 retourne and I love the retourne style on that size. For K25 I have my eye on sellier because I think it just suits that size so much better. I will wear the k25 mostly with casual outfits and also want to wear it crossbody style. I cannot find a lot of photos of people wearing k25 seller crossbody online and would appreciate if someone can post theirs for me so that I can use it as a reference. Also would the sellier sit awkwardly against the body? My SA told me to get retourne but I just love the look of sellier so much better on 25. Please help! Thanks!
In a pinch, I do wear mine crossbody. I have attached an Olga charm to the strap to make it long enough to crossbody comfortably… I don't find this awkward or sticking out too far but it's not my preferred way to carry... HTH :flowers:

I wear my K25 Sellier crossbody, I posted somewhere in action pics, the strap that it came is short to my body frame, what I did is , I bought a sangle cavale strap in 105 cm for me to be able to wear it crossbody , and I also ordered a 105 cm strap in FSH, but that one took me 6 months to get.

Thanks! I’ll look for the photo!
 
I just got mine last month and I'm SO excited! However, I'm equal parts terrified to use it now that it was a 4 year journey to get it and it's an incredibly expensive bag. How did you get over the hump of using your first quota bag for the first time? Did you get ir insured first?

I have and use other bags but this is like a whole other level!

Also, it's togo, and smells SO good. 🤤

Just use it and enjoy. Togo is pretty sturdy and yours is one of the most beautiful dark neutrals I’ve ever seen ! Congrats on your special bag!

I thought you said it was an SO and I was going to ask you about the lining. It's beautiful, wear it fearlessly these bags wear very well for years - and you can always spa it in year 2050 or something.;) enjoy it in every opportunity - they are no good stuffed in a closet.

No, definitely not a SO, that would be INCREDIBLE though! Do you ever worry about it getting stolen?
 
Kelly 25 sellier was never in my wishlist cause I had a 32 and 28 retourne and love them to pieces. And I got Kelly 25 sellier gold with gold , it’s such a gorgeous and classics for me it a must have 🥰. I also have Kelly pochette. Hoping will get a mini Kelly in near future
