I have a new swift Bordeaux Kelly 35 sitting in my closet and I am really concerned about using a red Kelly bag regardless of sizes. How do you think about this red color issue?
Wow, there is so much beautiful stuff in this thread! Really inspiring and aspirational!
I'm looking for something to use as a weekender and for one and two night business trips. My preference is a HAC but open to anything really - travel Bs and Ks, Victoria II's, Arions. Is there anything else or should be looking for? I'm looking on the secondary market for the time being, brand new would be stretching...
Does anyone know what the max size in each style is, for carry on luggage on most airlines?
Best regards,
Nathan

A travel Bolide is a good option, as is a Thar. I'm not sure about dimensions on the bolide, but the Thar is 45*45*25.
As Okiern noted, the Bolide 45 is another good option.
I have the Bolide 45 and Victoria II 43 (there is also a size 50 for the Victoria). Both bags work great as weekenders. The Bolide in sakkam leather is lighter and roomier than the clemence leather Victoria. Weight is a consideration because a fully loaded leather Victoria 43 bag can be quite heavy (no shoulder strap). The Victoria is also available in canvas, though, to keep the weight of the bag down if needed.
IMO, the Bolide is not ideal as a carry-on, however. It stands quite tall when it is full and the handles do not fold down, which makes it more awkward to fit in tight airplane compartments or under a seat. The Victoria, on the other hand, is very compact. So I use the Victoria when I fly and the Bolide for road trips only.
The max carry-on size on most airlines is around 55cm.
