I don't yet have a Kelly bag. However, I know that I will get a Kelly 28 Sellier in etoupe, which is my dream bag. Most of them seem to be in epsom leather. If you have a Kelly Sellier in epsom, please share your thoughts on epsom. What do you like (or dislike) about it? If you have a Kelly Sellier in another non-exotic leather, please share your thoughts on that. I so appreciate any information you wonderful Hermes peeps can share! <3

I have or have had selliers in Box, Togo, and Chevre. Loved them all, Togo probably the sturdiest. Box the most beautiful, and chevre, while not as tough as Togo, is a great choice when Box feels too delicate for daily use, as it does to many of us.

I was offered my dream bag(K28 sellier in black Epsom with phw) at FSH during our 25th anniversary trip. I was hesitant about Epsom in theory, having read about it being a stamped texture on the leather versus natural grained leathers like Togo and Clemence. Once it came out of the box and dust bag, though, DH and I just fell in love with how beautiful the bag looked. Sellier in Epsom seems like a perfect marriage of sleek silhouette and sturdy structure. The bag has consistently received compliments from H staff at every store I’ve visited - they have all commented on how chic it is and they say its specs are just perfect for the iconic K. It’s been almost 4 years since, and the bag has proven sturdy and shows little wear if at all, held its shape/structure, and still looks brand new(it is my go-to out of all my H bags). I’m very happy with it, and my 22y/o dear daughter certainly looks forward to someday carrying it too.


Here it is for reference. Hopefully my feedback helps. Good luck!

as i look through all these amazing bags, i am pretty sure that the Kelly sellier is my favorite H bag style... so elegant and timeless!!! :heart::girlsigh:

i feel so blessed to have 2 in my collection, a 28 and 25, my favorite sizes! i would love to add more, perhaps a box or barenia in my future, H gods willing!

To help with some enabling, here’s a pic of my K28 Fauve Barenia Sellier ;)
