Yeaahh, I'm really hoping that there was a packing issue with that bag or perhaps it was overstuffed and that the corners can easily be fixed up with a bit of TLC. I'm not in the position of ordering an SO, but I'd love to see yours (in 2-3 years), @BBC, should you decide to get one. :loveeyes:

Hahaha in 2-3 years [emoji1374][emoji1374][emoji1374]....I may do Togo if I can't make the chevre options work.
 
@BBC, there is a Togo Sellier from 2004 on the website, TheRealReal.com. Whether or not it's authentic, I cannot say, but you can see how the bottom corners are a bit warped. It could be that the company overstuffed it or perhaps the original owner did something weird to it. https://www.therealreal.com/products/women/handbags/handle-bags/hermes-togo-kelly-sellier-32-34

I'm also interested in hearing feedback from others. A Togo Sellier K would be so dreamy!

Thank you SO much, Cygne.
Yikes. That looks weird. [emoji51]
The Kelly on TRR is a Sellier Mou. @bababebi explains the difference between Sellier Rigide and Sellier Mou here.

NO WAY! There are different Selliers? :wtf: This is amazing. Thank you so much, @weN84! Wow. I love learning all these cool tidbits.

So, @BBC, it seems we won't know how a traditional Sellier K in Togo will hold up unless someone volunteers. I imagine that it would hold up well, though.

Togo sellier (not sellier mou) has the same reinforcement between the leather layers that, say, Box sellier or any classic sellier does. It is very, very structured and feels very solid (not heavy though). I would say that the only issue would be that, since it's a softer leather with rigid corners (as opposed to a rigid leather like Box), you could slightly dent/deform the edges if you bumped into something or packed it badly. This is EXACTLY the same issue faced with chèvre sellier and I would imagine applies to Epsom as well to some extent (I have never owned an Epsom sellier, only briefly carried one, so can't say).
I can't imagine my Togo bag ever losing its shape, quite the opposite, it seems indestructible.

Thank you for the insight, @QuelleFromage! :heart:
