Put 2 rings on the side to make my depeche 25 a cross body bag...

What a great idea, what did you hook the strap to on the other end?

Who else loves the Kelly Relax 50? Here is a shot of mine in Biscuit Swift with Palladium Hardware, paired with my So Black Rodeo charm and the Clochette Narcisse in Black. BTW I was shocked to see how much the So Black Rodeos are going for on the aftermarket, crazy. I love this bag, although I don't tend to use it as much as my other bags simply because the leather scares me each time I'm in a restaurant afraid the wait staff will drip some sort of liquid on it. Has anyone had any experience with Swift leather and liquid stains? MY S.A. in Paris told me that this summer/fall they are supposed to get a new version of the Kelly Relax for men, without the shoulder handle, I have yet to see it. Has anyone seen this new version yet?

A Kelly Relax without the shoulder strap would be amazing! Keeping an eye out for it now...

My HAC 40 grew wings.

I’ve never seen those before, but I’m intrigued......may I ask how you open your bag?

Very easily, the wings actually attached to the handles, so they don't interfere with the bag straps and opening at all.

I really like them. FYI: if a gray haired lady approaches you and tries to grab them off your bag, it’s me.

Out to dinner with my B40 and newest addition - the adorable Rooroo in pain d’epice, bleu de Malte and rose azalee...

Sharing my lucky find from Japan - a kelly depeche 38cm from 2005 in near mint condition. The leather is chamonix, a heritage calfskin often referred to as the matte version of boxcalf. It has long since been discontinued. I much prefer the sellier construction and overall aesthetic of this original compared to the newer 2019 version.

After receiving it, I sent it in for hermes spa at my home store and it returned in record time (5 weeks!) with the leather freshly nourished, the resin reglazed and the hardware resealed. I can now confirm that chamonix refurbishes beautifully and hermes did an amazing job blending the superficial scratches back into the patina:

Really quite striking - congratulations!

I'm not super familiar with the original KD, do you mind showing an interior view and how it's configured with pockets etc? Thanks

It's got three compartments, one's flat. This is my favorite H bag visually, but it's not really that practical or modern, no easy access, no outer pocket, no bandoulière. Hope this helps.

thanks Freddie
the interior organisation is the same as the sac a depeches - 2 gussets lined in suede, except for the back most and front panels which are lined in the same leather as the body of the bag. Unlike your SaD light (and the newer KD), there are no pockets or zipped compartments:
