No pic yet....but I have been day dreaming of the color etoupe lately. At first, I was thinking of asking for an etoupe Kelly, but when @bunnycat posted her gorgeous Evelyne the other day I just knew I wanted an etoupe Evie. I visited my boutique this past week carrying my gold PM to see the difference and my SA had an etoupe PM with phw for me to look at and compare. He is very honest with me and feels I do not need any more Evelyne's (true), but agrees that etoupe is a perfect, go with everything color and also confirmed that it is quite different from gold. He encouraged me to go with ghw and so he ordered one for me and it should arrive in a few days. We also discussed (again... because I keep changing my mind) colors for my first Kelly and my top choices are vert verone and noir. We shall see what happens.
I have an Etoupe PM with PHW and I love it. I’m sure you will love it.
How many Evies do you have dear DM? But if a style works for you, one can't have enoughNo pic yet....but I have been day dreaming of the color etoupe lately.

First of all, your red TPM is amazing!!!How many Evies do you have dear DM? But if a style works for you, one can't have enough
I have 6 currently; 3 PM's - Gold PHW, Rouge Tomate PHW, Bleu Nuit GHW and 3 TPM's - Noir GHW, Rouge Casaque GHW and Abricot PHW.
I agree with you, as I do love this style....but I probably should stop after this one....but please don't quote me.
Thank you. I think you are right.
Hey 6 doesn't sound that bad too me if you love and wear them allFirst of all, your red TPM is amazing!!!

I've thought about getting a Kelly but the stories about how it's not easy to get in and out of stop me. It is a beautiful bag tho and the shoulder strap is a must for me so no Birkins
I look forward to hearing about your Kelly journey and experiences DM.

I am also like you and need a shoulder strap. I admire Birkin's on others, but not for me. It is funny because when I first starting buying Evelyne's, my SA thought I was leading up to a B (which I wasn't) and he was so excited to offer me one and rather surprised when I told him I wasn't interested and that it didn't work for my lifestyle. My husband has a spinal cord injury and so I often carry his wallet in my bag along with mine, plus a few other essentials... so my bags need to be functional as well as pretty.
I recently decided I am interested in a Kelly and turned down a lovely Chocolate K32 Togo PHW a few weeks ago. The bag was stunning, but the color wasn't quite right for me. I don't plan to collect these, so I want to be careful and certain i love everything about it. It was great to open and close it and play with it, though. Getting in and out of it will definitely take some getting used to, but it is just so beautiful I am willing to take a leap of faith. Now I just need to practice patience because my boutique doesn't get as many Kelly's as B's for some reason, plus i am not a VIP, so it may take some time to get mine. My SA is great and I know he will have one for me at some point.
I really look forward to hearing about your Kelly journey. I hope you are offered the right one before the end of the year DMYour avatar pic is stunning!!

Since u have so many, want to ask, how do u prevent things from falling out, do u have a zipped insert? TIAFirst of all, your red TPM is amazing!!!

Thank you. I think you are right.
I don't use an insert, but I do have my things in zipped o cases. Here is an example of what I carry in my PM's. For TPM's, just my butterfly wallet with car key and a lip balm. I have never had anything fall out of my Evelyne's.....unlike the Gucci Disco's I used to carry, that would often flip upside down on a regular basis. HTH.

Your Gucci butterfly wallet is so cute and I also use the EO hand sanitizers. They smell so good and truly like lavender unlike a lot of other brands.I don't use an insert, but I do have my things in zipped o cases. Here is an example of what I carry in my PM's.

I think that we may have quite a bit in common.
