Oh Sarah, that bag looks great on you. I love that color. Thanks for the pictures. After seeing your bag and Joanna's I definitely think the 32 will be sufficient for me. Also, I originally wanted souple but my SA wants me to get a rigid and after seeing yours I have to agree with her.

hi :p isn't this the most helpful?! :idea: it's the definition of helpful.
 
Here are pics of my current bag, an Hermes Cacahuete in Raisin Clemence. I had to include a picture of the bottom of the bag because I love those pleats. These are pictures of it fully loaded with the stuff I laid out further up-thread.

diana.. I hope you get your kelly soon, I'm so excited for you
:idea: I think we all need a kelly or 2 :love: As for souple and rigid, perhaps that comes down to personal preferences at the end. I personally, like the rigid look better, but that's just me.

Heels, now you're making me drooling with that bag! I love RAISIN! Gosh, I want raisin so bad, I need a raisin fix soon :D You look great with it! This is the 1st time I've seen that kind of bag..

Thank you. Hopefully, I will have one soon.

the color is very true to that pic imo. my husband bought it for me as a surprise as my first hermes bag (and only one, to date, but i'm working on that. ;) ). he just went in and asked what they had in purple because i like purple, and this bag seemed unique to him, so he picked it. they told me at the store that they get a few in, sometimes they sit around for a while, then suddenly they all sell and they don't get any more in for months and months. this bag has gotten me hooked on hermes quality. the inside is such soft leather, and i love the "H" at the end of the zipper, and it is so durable.
 
HiHeels! Thanks for sharing pics of your bag. The cacahuete is really growing on me, especially knowing that it looks so flat even with stuff inside. I haven't seen one in real life, but will keep an eye on it if t ever hits my store.

i went to brunch with my daughter today and just put the bag behind me on the wood chair - the chair was more comfortable and the bag was out of the way. a very practical bag in terms of its size. but it's no kelly. :shame:
like i said, they come in very infrequently. the first time i went into the boutique with it, an SA came right over and was interested to see someone carrying it because they hadn't had one in a long time. it would look very nice on you (but i don't think it could hold an umbrella... :unsure: ).
 
o.O Now i'm stuck between the 32 and the 28 for my future Kelly..hehe I was looking at this from dianagrace's information thread ;) I'm 5'5.5 and not skinny..probably average size...For an everyday bag, what do you ladies think I should go with? :D thank you!! I'm thinking a black box..but still not sure :)

You look plenty skinny to me in the picture~:flowers: Ok, I'm 5 ft 8 in but I like both rigide 28cm and souple 32cm. However, with souple 32cm it can only be ostrich as I do not want the bag to slouch. I am starting to become partial to 32cm rigide as well, but I'm not sure if that'll look boxy ...
 
I recently tried on a 32 and a 28 and my preference was the 28. I'm 5'7 and not thin. :laugh: The 32 definitely would work for me but I do not carry a lot and I usually go for a smaller bag ( an LV Speedy 25 instead of 30 for example). :flowers:
