Black epsom Kelly 25 ghw. I brought it home but still thinking if I made the right decision :confused1:

I have a black birkin and love and use her to bits. She’s slouchy and had scuffs here and there already, and I love wearing it with tees and jeans. Does a black kelly look too formal? My lifestyle is very casual now (90% jeans, no heels). I always picture wearing a black kelly as all dressed up with a glam dress and high heels!

Don’t overthink it! Black is neutral and you can wear this Kelly casually as well. I would totally rock that Kelly with a T- shirt and jeans.

Thank you for your reply! I requested for a black kelly, thinking I could use it occasionally for work and certain formal occasions or days when I need a bag with shoulder strap.

However, this year looks to be another jeans kind of year for me as some of us will work from home full time, returning to office only when required. I can’t foresee any nice events coming up soon too. So now I got a bag I don’t ‘need’ (probably not yet) but I’m afraid if I return it I’ll regret it. I don’t have any other color in mind that I’ll like to request for now..

I would go for another neutral retourne Kelly down the line. Black sellier Kelly with ghw is such a classic. There’s always opportunity for more Kellys :)

It all depends on you but I do wear my Kelly casually. I have a separate crossbody strap for it in black leather that gives it a more casual look. I like that it’s very light and not handheld. I wear a lot of (neat) jeans and simple tops or black leggings and simple tops. It elevates a simple look.

Thank you but I’m not really a fan of retourne for now though. Yes I love neutrals. It wasn’t easy waiting for this kelly so it adds to the hesitation of exchanging it..

This is a great color and size. While you may not have any formal events to go to yet, it would still be easy to use this with jeans, leggings and other casual outfits. It instantly makes the outfit look put together. I have this in size 28 and I’ve only ever worn it casually. In your case the size gives it greater flexibility for evenings too. If you plan on having it down the road and only second guessing because of the situation this year, then best to keep it.

Hello! Thank you you’ve hit the nail on the head. Yes I’m second guessing and feel bad if I’m gg to keep such an expensive bag in the closet until not sure when I will use it. Truth is, I probably have enough bags already. But I have this nagging feeling I might regret it if I return it. Think I will just keep it for now :)

Totally agree. Same here. I have two black B's, two black K's, a black KP, a black mini Lindy, a black Kelly to go ....... Most of my bags are black and I am very happy with my collection. You can't go wrong with black! :)

Keep it is my vote. You will be able to use it at some point! :)

Just start wearing it with jeans. I wear my noir K25 with t-shirt and jeans (black or white jeans work better than blue) and mine is sombrero which has a even dressier look to it.
