I think it depends on what you carry...if it's just personal items then a Kelly would be great. In that size it looks more of a soft briefcase so quite unisex in my opinion. If you tend to carry more work items such as a laptop or folders then a B would suit you better as far as function is concerned. (I have a B 40 and a K 35&28) But you would have to hand carry the B in the winter which can be brutal if it's heavy. If it were me...I would go with the K40 because it can be hand carried or shoulder strapped.

Hi guys, I'm new here, and this is my first reply. but i have been reading through this forum back and forth for many years.
I just want to share a new toy with you guys.
It's a kelly 35, in 19 fw new colour Vert Amande, 63.
It's really a bizarre colour for my eyes. When I got it from the SA in bordeaux, I just couldn't define with my own eyes what exactly the colour was. It's kinda green, especially under the sunshine back in France. But it shows very blue-ish tone under the indoor lights... It cannot be called refreshing, but definitely standing out amongst the other traditional hermes colours. I don't know why, the more I look at it, the more I love the colour... it's sooo strangely exciting....
Hope you enjoy, and feel free to leave the comments.

Thank you for sharing! The bag looks great on you and you're right about it being an interesting color. It looks anywhere from blue to grey to green in the photos.
In the original that Jean Paul Gautier created you have to thread the sangles into the pontet like the HACs now the pontet is open on top so you don't have to thread it in making it much easier to open and close using the sangles.
Beautiful bag and in my eyes, a fantastic bit of Togo with those gorgeous veins running through it. The Sangle Cavale strap really works with it too.
This is perfect! And a great response to the ever recurring question of whether a kelly is ok on a guy.
Love this!! Great color, it reminds me of a greener Bleu Orage.
K35, looks amazing on you...may I ask how tall you are?
I'm about 1.7m, or 5'7". And 35 is really a good sizing, I assume
Flash backpack in Barenia Faubourg
I really wish Hermes made men's bags in the original Barenia. It would have been interesting to see new designs in that leather.

I love these leathers. They age so beautiful. I have a folio in this leather and I love it.
But isn't Barenia faubourg leather very easily marked by regular use? Grease from hands, rubbing spots that get marked etc.
That is what I like about my cityback in Taurillon Maurice; it's really easy taking care of it.
