dear... late to the purse/bag discussion...

i would say it is borderline purse/briefcase look. i've actually tried on Kelly 40 box sellier in FSH and actually, that looks even more PURSELIKE, for some strange reason.

i thought the same way with Allanrvj as well that if Kelly Depeche is unisex, for sure box kelly 40 should work. alas, it didn't.

interestingly, with this Kelly 40, the size is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than a birkin 40! i actually think the slouchy clemence leather makes it look more casual and hence, makes it more passable as a "bag" rather than a purse. but again, that's my own personal opinion.

but allanrvj, thanks for the feedback, good or bad :p :hugs:

I have found that my 40cm Kellys fit the equivalent amount of stuff in them as my 35cm Birkins.

yup yup Ranag... i put the Kelly 40 next to my Shadow 40 and it was much smaller! (assuming Shadow 40 is same as birkin 40, of course)

I got rid of my 40cm Birkin, but it definitely had more space in it than my 40cm Kellys do.

I liked the pic of you with the 40cm Kelly.

When I carry my black 40cm by the handle, sometimes I feel like I am carrying a small briefcase :p My husband often ends up carrying my bags for me because I stuff them too much and they get too heavy (lol). I will have to have him try my 40cm Kelly and see if it looks like a purse on him. Heck, it could not look any funnier than him carrying around my bright orange JPG... ;)

you're welcome. :hugs:

and just to show fashionistaO, this is my only picture of me modeling a Kelly at the George V store (taken last 2008 when I was still super skinny), though it's a 50:

I liked it but it's kinda big, and I've heard a few of stories of people having buyers remorse when they got their 50 cm Kellys. I wish Kellys came in 45 cm. That would've been perfect.

Sorry to jump in here...

I have both birkin and kelly in 40... Kelly 40 is definitely smaller in terms of the width, height-wise is almost the same... I am a guy and have no problem carrying my kelly 40 out to shop or work... To me, it looks more like a briefcase and friends commented the size is right for me and doesnt look like a purse...

all I'm saying is, what look do you want to achieve? do you want to look like you get laid a lot, or do you want to look like you'll be fun to have manicure and pedicure with?

your choice. lol

:D

ooh it does came in 45 few years back, I sold mine already since it's still too heavy and bulky to me for everyday use. It had been discontinued then
