So nearly vintage, but looking like new. Hope I'll age even so well like your bag :giggle:
Thanks for the comparing picture. She looks really not much bigger than the Jumbo. I have the Retourne in 35 and here the size/inside space is quite different to the Jumbo. I also hope to find one day a bbK in pristine condition.

Best wishes in finding your BBK. She's my first H bag and if I could only have one, this would be it.

I want to get a Kelly Sellier as my next bag. What are the options for the leather? I only saw epsom and box when I researched it. Can someone please help me? Does it come in Togo? I only see retourn with togo. I don't know how long it will take to get in line but it's my dream bag. Any pictures, advice, pro and con for the leather would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

The more common sellier is epsom.

I believe togo sellier is only available through special order. Same goes to chevre leather.

Other leathers that come in sellier are box, sombrero, alligator and ostrich.

I ordered a sellier kelly in togo, it took over two years to get. I would love to have another, but my SM wouldn't even bother to take the order so I got epsom instead. Feel very lucky to have gotten my togo.

There are extensive threads on the advantages/disadvantages of the main leathers for sellier which are - production: Epsom, box (rare), sombrero (fairly rare), exotics (croc, gator, ostrich) and for Mini Kelly chèvre. Here and there a larger chèvre K may sneak into production.
If we started going into pluses and minuses of those leathers our posts would be moved.

You can SO many leathers in sellier but stores seem to prefer placing orders for the more rigid leathers like chèvre and Sombrero. My Togo sellier K also took just over two years to arrive.
I would suggest deciding which leathers and size(s) you prefer, as that changes the character of the bag quite a lot :flowers: My favorite for a sellier personally is box calf.
