Anyone ordered extra strap for K20? Mine took 13 months and arrived with regular hooks (not mini size)
Hi. That what I said to my SA.
But he said that now they will only use regular size hooks for any extra strap Kelly mini.
I just tried it. My regular Kelly strap hooks just about fit in the smaller rings of my MKs but it doesn't look proportionate. I would be so disappointed Have you tried it? This is so weird.

Yes I have tried it and no they’re not proportion at all. I even asked my SA twice to sure. He seem very confident.
I’m disappointed but nothing I can do. I guess.
I am so very sorry to hear that.
I think it is very odd and I would definitely ask for further consultation - if necessary with the leather specialist or aftersales specialist and if necessary with the SM.
In my opinion, larger hooks change the appearance so much that I find it difficult to believe that Hermès really wishes it that way. (I ordered a longer strap and it arrived with the fitting - smaller - hooks for Mini K - that was beginning of 2023.
Wish you the best - good luck.
Edited to suggest: maybe it would be best to ask in writing - e-mail and very friendly - though really pointing out the quite different appearance of the mini K and asking whether this would really be how Hermès would like to change the Model of the Mini K ... - with copy to your store specialist or your SM.
and: Edited: to suggest: If you get the same written information (only regular hooks) from your specialists and your SM, please send me a PM.

May I ask which month did you receive yours? How long did it take?
My SA is away, I received a phone call from SM last week and that was who giving me the information.
This is why I was asking on the beginning if anyone received their SO strap recently? Regular or Mini hooks?
I received the SO strap with the mini hooks (exactly as on the regular strap) at the beginning of January or February, sorry would have to ask my DH, can't remember exactly. I waited about 3 months for it (it's for my Mini K chèvre from 2021).
The length of time shouldn't make you sad though, I've been waiting for my K25 chèvre since January 2022 for example - quite normal Kelly. In this respect - everything is always different with H ...
But please IMO it would be best to put this in writing to your SM (e. g. "can't sleep with the different look of your beloved Mini K - whatever ...) so really with explicitly mentioning the completely different appearance of a Mini K.
And if indeed you receive the information in writing from your SM that the bigger hooks are correct - you could contact me via private message, if you wish to.
I am not sure if your answer was in reference to my last answer.
If so, then my answer was probably misleading/I did not find the correct english wording. Sorry.
What I meant was that I ordered a longer strap for one of my Mini K's and that I got it with the right size of the clasps/hooks for a Mini K (with regular strap I meant "regular sized width Mini K strap only longer with the fiiting/matching Mini K clasps/hooks").
Don't worry it was in response to @JeanGranger's experience. I feel it's not fair to her. I get what you meant totally, I think yours is done correctly.I am not sure if your answer was in reference to my last answer.

Mini Kelly looking small but mighty next to Kelly 25
