Kelly 25 Tartan: Going to see this week!
I just got one. I rejected it at first, then I saw it and it was unusual and cute. I took it because I love unique bags although it is SOOO NOT ME. But my 19 year old LOVES it. This is the first and only time I let one of my girls borrow one of my QBs. BUT, I was with her the entire time and I had my eye on it like a hawk.

lol! I thought it was white! I did not realize it is Gris Pale. I never would have known it is Gris Pale. I typically don’t go for Kelly Swift Retourne, but I do like atypical, unusual bags. I could not resist because it is cute and unique. My SA is my fashion stylist and he sees me as feminine. However, I still see myself as more of a classic, more masculine, dark tone dresser. But I am older now and as I age, my color choices have been softer and lighter.

I don’t have any bag in white! 😰That’s the reason why I haven’t said YES yet! It certainly is super cute! Congratulations on your Kelly Tartan! We just might we twins soon. 🤪
 
In my home store in Europe, I recently got an offer and accepted this Kelly Messenger PM in rough H. The leather is togo and the hardware is palladium.

It was €9,650 (taxes included), and €965 (10%) is about to be refunded soon. (It is still processing.) If we assume that the exchange rate is 1.17 USD per 1 euro, the expected final price would be around $10,161.45.

In the US, the exact same bag was on the H website (as shown in the last picture), and the price was $13,500 (before taxes). If the NYC-based tax rate (8.875%) is applied, it would have been $14,698.125. So, I saved roughly $4,536.675. (In other words, it's about 44.6% more expensive to buy the exact same item in the US.)

Lately I looked at an VCA item in Munich then realized that the US price, after tax, is similar to the total I would need to pay after all the gymnastics if I were to buy in Germany. I wish Hermes could do the same to spare us all the wasted time and hassle.
