I'm new to the Hermes forum, but have been a collector and admirer of Hermes for a while. I'm on the waiting list for a black togo 35cm Birkin...BUT, when I saw the So Kelly in Etoupe yesterday in the Boston boutique, I practically fell over. It is fantastic! My SA, who is phenomenal, found one in black, and it will be here on Tuesday. I can't wait. I like it better than the Birkin in that it is more practical, better suiting my lifestyle. Pictures do not do this bag justice. I'll post again when I'm a proud owner.
