All I could think about is how these croco Vert Fonce nails don’t match this Rouge H D’wich Plume 32… I made it work tho.

Does anyone know if a Kelly 40 or Birkin 40 following a sellier construction style soften or collapse over time due the scale of the bag ?
I really like the look both bags in sellier but wanted to know if going for the retourne version would be a better choice for the larger bags.
Also, do any guys here have a sellier Kelly 40 ?
Thank you in advance for your feedback.

have K40 sellier epsom stamp M - stands rigidly beautiful like an Eiffel tower.
also have B40 epsom made in 2018 - also beautifully stands like K40 today.
Seen K35 retourne clemence Stamp N (a year younger than the K40 sellier) - soft and cannot stand upright when being emptied.
So my analysis is the big factor is leather, but as you were asking about B sellier I am positive that it would come in epsom? What I haven’t seen myself is bigger K sellier in non-epsom - dunno if that would stand tall and in shape

Would you be able to share photos of your two bags ?
Sure

Is that a Kelly 40? Would love to see more pics!
Which color is that, etain? Also thinking of K40 as my hopeful first H bag in the future (it's between that and a HAC I think), and wonder how it would look on a 1,84 cm guy.
They are both to die for bags, but they are not interchangeable from a use point of view.
One major difference that is clearly visible from the photographs is the front to back depth of the base.
With the larger sizes of HAC and Birkin this is not inconsiderable.
A 40+ Birkin or HAC is an ideal holdall/shopping/weekend bag. A 40 Kelly will function as a briefcase.
Both are rather large for only carrying day to day necessities.

I've also noticed that, just looking at a HAC 40. It seems huge in comparison to say a K40, so I think I'm leaning on a K40 or perhaps 35 (if it doesn't look too feminine/too much like a purse on my build) when I start shopping/visit H. Partly because of the base and weight of the bag is more suited for everyday than a HAC/B40, but mostly because it has a strap - and for everyday use, which is what I plan on using the bag for, carrying it by hand like on the HAC/B40 will not be ideal or versatile enough, especially if it gets heavy.
It’s Kelly 40 graphite. B40 is etain and blue sapphire. So you see how much more darker graphite is compared to etain in same leather.Is that a Kelly 40? Would love to see more pics!
I am 1.78 tall so both bags should be fine for your height. Hac40 actually works sightly better for my frame (and I am sure is better for your height too) but its a lot harder to use as daily bag due to its depth when reaching for stuffs inside. So nowadays my beloved Hac40 is pretty much sleeping in the closet - haven’t used it for ages but love it too much to let it go -_-‘
Forgot to attach pics so you have frame reference. Hac40 croc and B40 epsom.Is that a Kelly 40? Would love to see more pics!

Finally picked up my SO Kelly Depeches 25 pouch a few weeks ago!
Vert Cyprès

For the record, it did not occur to me these were Packers colors until a few days after I placed it.

Looks great, congrats! I thought they didn't make the Kelly Depeches with the rectangular shape anymore? Only this version: https://www.hermes.com/fr/fr/product/porte-documents-kelly-depeches-36-H078392CK2Z/
Or is it only available in SO?

This will always be the best Hermes briefcase and yours is a very interesting and special combination.
It's a shame they do not furnish it with the double ring so that you could use a shoulder strap on occasions should you so wish.
