Hi everyone! I've recently purchased a kelly lakis 40 in chocolate box and toile from christies auction.
Have been dreaming of getting a kelly lakis due to its more masculine look. Here are the photos fresh from my iPhone [emoji51].
The only thing that I didn't like is that the strap is way too short to carry as a sling. This is a 2006 model as such I am not sure if the newer ones have a longer strap.

So, thanks to @Lostinlondon I can't stop thinking about Citybacks, since I am always on a bike and a backpack would suit me better. Ugh
Now I'm passing this obsession to others. lol

It's very comfortable to carry and the design is so minimal and clean. It's the best backpack I've ever had!
And the proper way to go about the day. 
Hi guys, greetings I am Yudha from Indonesia, I just read this forum and boy you guys do rock your Hermes-es !!!
On the heavier note, I have questions to ask, more like a suggestion.
But before, here is my background story:
Initially I am not the one who wanted to spend more than USD 80.000 for a bag ( that would be about Rp. 100 million , my country's currency), thus Birkins and HAC are out of my zone. BUT, a dear friend of mine bought the black croco Birkin, and obviously seeing it and holding it with my own eyes/hands made me crave it a lot! And being the one that needs to buy a bag from the boutique, I wanted to ask some opinions/suggestions. Because I know it is very hard for people in general to be offered birkins, but for a guy, would it be extra hard? Should I ask for it, I am afraid to ask because I might look like a fool to the SA, but if I don't ask, how would the SA know that I wanted a birkin. I am afraid that I will be investing on the merchandises just to be NOT offered a birkin. Is my question make sense? LOL
To conclude the rampant above, is there any suggestions or dare I say tricks for me to actually land myself a Birkin/HAC from the boutique?
Thank you very much

Welcome. I suggest you start here if you haven't already:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...et-a-birkin-or-other-bag-reading-room.505926/
And also check the city/country specific threads in thevshopping subforum as it is far easier to obtain items in some places than in others. Good luck!
Oh my, I haven't, thanks a lot for the info. That's a whole lot of info in that thread, gonna start doing/learning my homework then. XOXO
Out of all my bags, the Cityback is the one I use by far the most. The design is sleek, stealthy, and the straps are amazing in both comfort and visual looks.
I would recommend the Taurillion Bull leather vs Supple Epsom because it's more supple and can be conditioned far easier. Embossed leather like Epsom is at first more durable but over-time natural grain leather are better because they take in leather conditioner far easier and thus can be repaired to new.

To those who've accused me of snatching up all the barenia online...I've struck again! Muahahahahahahahhaah [emoji48][emoji48][emoji48]

Modeling pics please! LostinLondon won't post any.
Too shy!! Sorry....[emoji17]
Thank you for the modeling pics! Is this the 27? Also how tall are you? I'm 5'10".
They're coming out in bicolor Swift leather (indigo/red, dark green/green) this year. I hope my store gets some so I could try it on.
I don't like epsom. My HAC was in epsom and I think it's a bit plasticky.
