Thank you, guys, some of your stories are hilarious in a good way. MK as jewelry. Doll-like. Maybe I can sacrifice the phone case. I often need to take out my phone even if I'm meeting with friends. Usually it's "guys, sorry I'll be late", less often "where are you?". Always call a taxi and sometimes we cannot find each other. With smaller bag I have issues to put it back nicely and enter the taxi with my phone in my hands. I'm wondering why others can make it work and I don't. But back to the point.
Do you guys have any takes what leather and color is best for MK? Especially the first one. Look-wise and overall (meaning - I have a brain fog and can't come up about with anything) I'm talking much about the weather but right now it's a hot summer but autumn/winters are long here so jacket/coats are must haves. When you also have small canvas would you go for black (black is usually the right color) or something else? (Definitely no pink/purple one for me, but greys, beige, neutrals or my fave color blue). I don't have anything in box, but I do have both chèvre and epsom and I'm wondering how they'd work in mini versions.
I have a Box calf mini Kelly and don't recommend it from a practical standpoint. It's BEAUTIFUL but even less practical than in chèvre or alli/croc - very stiff and easily scratched. Of course bc this is Hermès I love my Box version and wouldn't trade for a more practical leather since it would be so hard to get another... but from a usability standpoint, as Jordan Peele would say, NOPE :)
 
I think which side you lean towards depends on the kind of bag user you are. I actually believe there are people who are in the small bag camp, and another in the larg(er) bag camp. I am in the small bag (sometimes no bag, everything in my pockets) camp outside of work and feel the mk is more than enough for my stuff. I like how unobtrusive it is

As I've said before, I don't buy bags unless they are practical. I use all my MKs very frequently because all I carry are a Calvi, keycard, tissues, wipes and lipstick. My standard iPhone fits easily. The most practical leather to me is Epsom, the exotics are nice to have as well. I would definitely take neutrals as well as brights. My Volynka is the most treasured of my MKs, one of my most treasured bags and one of the absolute best offers I have been given at FSH.
I don't use my clutches much but the KPs definitely fit my phone and more for events. However juggling a clutch plus a drink and shaking hands is beyond my capabilities. 😬
