GNIPPOHS, your bags are beautiful! I have a question about the kelly 25cm size... Do you find it too dainty or precious for a casual day out in jeans? My daily bag both at work and at play is usually a kelly 28 and I do have room to spare at times. However, I love the size on my 5'2 frame. I Have never tried a 25cm kelly and was really curious if it's best to limit one this size to days when I am in a dress etc... Any words of wisdom would be appreciated!

Hi luckylove! I dont find it dainty at all. With jeans i use it with the strap for a more casual look and in dresses as a more formal look without the strap. In fact i been using the retourne k25 alot too and that looks even smaller than the sellier. It works for me as i dont carry much. A bearn, karo pm, tissue are my necessities and they fit in both the k25 and b25. There is definitely space for both in your collection, especially if you have room to spare in your 28, which gives another vibe. I am 5' 3 btw.

Hi there! It is RT :love: one of the first few bags my current SA offered to me years ago. i was unsure of the size then... luckily i loved the color enough to take it! And turned out i loooove the size. Speaking of which you def can do with a second b25, maybe in a bright color? :graucho:

Yes! I have been looking at my current lineup and I need something brighter. Right now it's b25 noir, b30 etoupe and b35 rouge h - all neutrals. I do have a Blue St Cyr KP and K28 Anemone is arriving soon, so that's something, and then in the fall I am expecting B30 BE. So the next 25 should be......pink? I would LOVE a pink. Or a jewel tone.

I love all the b25s posted here. For those of you who have both k25 and b25, do you need b25 if you have a k25 sellier? I have a k25 sellier and would love to add a b25 but need to find good reasons for it [emoji5] TIA

My k25 is retourne not sellier, but I think b25 and k25 are very different bags. B25 actually carries all my essentials, similar to b30 actually. The k25 on the other hand fits much less as it's not open top, but having shoulder strap is a plus. So yeah I think you need both [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Waaaa you have so much to look forward to! Both your upcoming bags sound fabulous. You def can do with a pink, have you considered rose azalea? Have seen a swift b25 in the store (not offered to me unfortunately haha) and it is GORGEOUS!
