These pictures aren't very clear, but I've seen other ones of this bag and I actually think the colour is black. The leather is Box Calfskin and the size is most likely 32. If you are trying to get this bag at Hermès, it may be difficult due to the rarity of this leather. I believe Box is only available for Push offers.

The Olsen twins own more than a couple vintage Kellys (and they seem to share their collection) but MK definitely owns a blue one. I believe this to be Bleu Marine. Here she is with Ashley, who is carrying a similar black bag, also Box calf. MK's may actually be a 35. Both bags are Box calf and @r luvs h is correct: Box calf is currently "push offer" only, which means stores cannot request it in their standard buys.

Cheers :flowers: And this Kelly does look more like Bleu Marine here as @QuelleFromage mentioned. I could see it either way, as black dye does have a green/blue undertone after all. Would need closer pics of other aspects to be certain. You should be able to find a lot of great information about Push offers by searching “push offers” in the search bar on here. Many heritage leathers are Push offers only (i.e. barenia, box, chèvre leathers).

Hilarious pix! All I can say is, these remind me of that startling post on a @docride ”Can this bag be saved?” thread where a TPFer wanted advice on how to restore a Birkin or Kelly that had been run through the washing machine. This bag, similarly, is giving major laundry vibes.

I'm thinking its a 35 or even 40 in Bleu Marine (as suggested above)
If you want a bag in this colour box leather larger size I've found quite a few on the pre-loved market..
You could probably find one in a 'good' to 'fair' condition for around £5000 upwards.
I think it will be a very long wait to get this sort of combo new so vintage would be your best option.

Not to mention that a Box Kelly 35 is going to run around $15K and THEN you have to "distress" it. (MK is REALLY tiny, my size or smaller, and a 35 looks like that on me, but it's hard to say exact size with a bag that is batwinged like that.)

Bleu Marine is findable at vintage (in the US you might pay well under $4K for this condition) and if @embroideryqueen007 wants the Olsen look, vintage is the way to go! Personally I am a fan and think this can be incredibly chic on the right person with the right attitude.

A quick question..
Its regarding the Omnibus Bag.
Can anyone confirm who designed it?
I believe it was from the Margiela years I have just purchased one dated 2004 (its the early version with lock and keys).
I know MM left Hermes in 2003, does anyone know how long the bag was in production for?
Thanks in advance :smile:
