Ladies need some insight from you please. Have been offered a mini kelly in lisse croc dark green ghw. Am torn only because of impracticality. I have a mini kelly and yes I carry her but not as often as my other pieces. Any thoughts from those with croc and how often you carry your bag? Was hoping for black but my SA raised the bar! Should I grab her and run? Thanks in advance! :heart:

Sounds beautiful! What is the reason you don’t use your existing MK often? Is it because of its size (in which case you’d have the same issue with this one) or because of its color/specs (in which case a dark green might work better)? And even when you don’t use it much, is the number of occasions that you actually use it still worth it for you? Only you have answers to these questions :) good luck deciding!

Thank you momoc for your response! I do not use her much because I do rotate my bags often and the size is about 40% of the reason, as most of the time I do not carry much especially on the weekends. The color of my present mini I love. The color of this one os a great alternative for me for black as it is dark enough to be very versatile. Thank you for helping me hash through these questions! Thank you again! :heart:

Sounds like a yes to me! The only other thing I would consider is would you still wish that you just got a black one instead of this one, but tbh this would be so much more interesting and sounds like you can totally rock it instead of black!! So yes +1 to grab it and run:P

Would not pine for black, as I believe I have a variety of black options for now. Yes, you are right this color will be interesting, neutral while not "boring" per say. You know hermes colors and leathers look different per batch as well as under different lighting etc. Thank you so much again! :heart::hugs:

I have been using my mini Kelly for the evening and absolutely love love love it!
Fits: iPhone, compact, lip balm, lipstick, card holder and a pocket pack of tissues.
Thank you for sharing. I’m so glad I finally found someone saying they can fit tissues and a compact too along with iPhone and cardholder. All the things you mentioned are my absolute essentials though I can leave out 1 lipstick. Can you fit in a car key and some house keys? Thank you!
 
Hi everyone, my SA just offered me a Rose Mexico Mini Kelly and I could not find much information online regarding this color. Hence, it would be very much appreciated if you can share a photo of this color or your thought on this color. Thank you.
It’s a red leaning pink, quite similar to Rose Extreme. A search of the forum will bring up many examples for you but especially in these threads. I’m not sure we’ve seen it in a mini Kelly yet (except the bicolor red/pink one)
 
If Hermes renamed it sellier mini kelly, and they are offering sellier birkins, does that mean we can dream about retourne mini kelly's. That would be so cute :hbeat:

But a Kelly pochette is also sellier no?
KP is interesting because it has exterior seams but no additional rigidity layer. Thus if we were being quite literal, I suppose it would be a Sellier Mou Mini Kelly? Nonetheless, the current H naming scheme, as taken from the Special Order kit’s illustrated cards, is that the traditional Mini Kelly II 20cm (with regular handle and strap) is now the “sellier kelly mini” and the kelly pochette is the ”Kelly Mini”
