Hi everyone! I got offered a Kelly 25 Mauve Sylvestre Swift in PHW, may I ask for your advice as this will be my first swift leather bag (I only own this leather in Watch straps), is the leather very delicate and soft?

I have a kelly 25 anemone in swift and it’s the most luscious rich leather and I don’t find it delicate at all. That said it is definitely not structured and much softer vibe.

My K25 retourne swift is extremely slouchy, despite not using it much. I may need a purse insert to make it look less so. Swift is supple and soft, and if you put things in the front inner pocket, that will create some more stretch and sagging. I still love mine, but it's not something I will baby anymore, since it looks very worn, even though I didn't really use it that much.

I have a K25 in Lime Swift. I agree with a previous poster that this combo seems to age really, really quickly. IMO, my K25 looked used right out of the box, fresh from the boutique. It's a delicate and soft leather to me, yes. If you prefer any type of structure to your bags, this one will disappoint you.

This is tempting, and a lovely colour, but I would pass.

I was incredibly surprised when I was offered this Birkin 30 epsom.does anyone know if there’s is a premium price for this style bag? First time i see one like this. Haven’t accepted it yet but I’m sure I will lol.

This model was a seasonal model a few years ago so I’m surprised to see it now. Yes, it is priced higher than a full single leather version at the store as it is more labor intensive to weave the various leathers together (but no I do not believe this premium maintains itself in the secondary market as it is a relatively low demand style) If you do purchase it, I would be curious to learn which year the date stamp is to know if it’s from the original season or if they’ve reissued this model. Good luck deciding!

Check out other older Swift K25 on resale sites. Imo it is a combo that ages the quickest, especially in a light color like this. The kelly top handle seems to work with gravity to smoosh the bag and the entire thing loses its shape in my observance. Swift birkins seem to fair much better than their kelly counterparts. Good luck deciding, it’s a very tempting offer!

Thanks everyone for taking the time to share the very helpful advices! I went to see it in person at the store yesterday and ended up couldn't resist the temptation of the beautiful color and took it home with me! A kelly in rose sukura has been my dream combo since I've started the Hermes journey and mauve just shares a very similar shade with that. The swift leather makes its feel and touch so luxurious!

I have to admit I prefer and own more structured bags, will see if this little cutie could change my preferences for future purchases :D
