Ode to Kelly Sellier Mini (Kelly Mini II)

I have iPhone 11 Pro and I have to take the case off to get it in. Again I LOVE the bag. But I'm never going to call it practical, and a K25 can go most places a mini K can, although I might wear a mini K (sans strap) with an evening gown and I definitely would not do that with a 25. (Yes, I know even a mini K does not quite fit formal evening rules, but in Box especially I like mine with a gown...I am a rebel what can I say!)

I actually love the mini kelly with evening gowns, i wore mine twice. I think it depends on the leather and colour of the bag.

I think a mini K would be so pretty with evening wear, not that I have that many occasions to go to. I have an iphone XS and I'm content to just have one small SLG for a few cards and some cash.
 
Mini K holds my phone and Calvi but it looks ridiculous on me. If you only carry that much and able to pull off wearing a tiny bag then I think it’s a great bag especially to travel. At my boutique I think it’s a fair chance getting either one, Mini K is not as rare anymore since many request for them now. My only regret is I didn’t get it in a pop color.
In general though I would think a neutral K25 would be harder than say a pop color mini K. What colors are you considering?

I have a question...should I try to prioritize a K25 or a mini K on my wishlist with my SA? I really, really love the shape and structure and size of a mini K, but I hear they're really rare...I know K25 is also hard to come by.

I told my SA pretty much any color--black, red, purple or a pop color like pink is at the top of my list, but any other color is ok too. Most of my clothing is creams/whites and blacks so I can work any color in. I figured pink mini K was super rare but she knows it's my favorite color so I threw that in the mix too. I'm the kind of person that pares down my essentials in my bag very well, but if I have a bigger bag (like my B30) then I'll just throw everything in it.

Thank you for your advice and reply!

I love my minikellys and they are súper fashion... but not práctical... i use it with the mini Evelyn strap and looks perfect. You should have one MiniK but not more... it is so expensive and the K25 is perfect. I bought my miniK in pastel colors..

Beautiful! With the evelyne mini strap, can you carry it cross-body as an option? I agree that the K25 or even K28 is more practical, but the mini kelly is just beautiful. Are those colors 5p pink and bleu brume?

I think a mini K is fine with general evening wear, like a cocktail dress or sharp evening suit, et. For a full length evening gown, tradition would call for a clutch. But as I said I like the look with the right gown; it's fun and young. I mean, to be totally traditional one would also not put bread on a dinner table and would never wear exotics at night.
 
I

i got mine in November from Paris and it was around 9000 euro
oh WOW! that is less than a constance mini ostrich and definitely less than I expected, considering kelly 25 ostrich is something around 16k euro or so I have read somewhere. I know that the KP is about 8K euro, did not expect the KMII to be less than 10K euro. thank you so much for sharing!
 
Sorry for my ignorance - does anyone know if the mini is produced in black chevre with SHW?

Some time ago I had a look at a Gris Alphate mini in epsom GHW at the local hermes store and I can't stop thinking about it.. however I definitely prefer the look of chevre leather, and for my first hermes bag I would like to go for a black mini with SHW

I'm pretty new to the Hermes world since I'm mostly all about Chanel hehe

I'm not versed enough in the different types of chevre, but according to this post, it looks like chevre chamkila will be available for SS20:
