Nah, im good with one Birkin... Next on my list is a Kelly 25 or 28. I need a hands free bag. Very selective on the color and won't take or settle for anything that is not in the dark green family. Vert Olive, Vert Foncé, Vert Maquis or Vert de Gris. Pass, pass and pass on anything else. I want variety of colors in my collection. Got black, etoupe, etain and barenia. Dark Green would be perfect.do you have a 30? or is that next on your list?

you know what, I'd love a Kelly 28, too. Specifically this:
I saw it at FSH last month and I'm still obsessed with it.
But first, a Cityback! I really need a backpack work bag
That is one nice bag my friend. Especially that bleu trim.you know what, I'd love a Kelly 28, too. Specifically this:

Funny you mention the Cityback, I have size 27 and I have been giving it more love to work than I do with my Barenia sac a depeches 35 briefcase. Its so comfortable to wear, I love how it hugs my back/shoulders with the straps.
exactly. when I tried it at the store years ago I was like hey I look like I'm wearing a harness. lol
A Kelly 28/32 is next on my list too. I had a B30 on it, but decided to switch it out for a Kelly first. A Gris Tourterelle would be my absolute HG!
How scratch resistant is this bag? I saw this in San Francisco a while back but didn't pull the trigger due to the price tag, but now I'm partly regretting it. I'm wondering about this vs a Hac a Dos
By the way, I understand that there are two versions of the flash - the sailor version with the single strap and then the true double shoulder version? Which version do you have, and does it distribute the weight well?
Thanks!
One post right after the other, exactly what I'm loving now.you know what, I'd love a Kelly 28, too. Specifically this:

@fonnas, 28 or 32 but absolutely Vert Fonce...swift ( or box) please. And can we make it retourne, as long as I'm being greedy?
And yes, @allanrvj - That bag is gorgeous- I DO love toile. That one ( and the Quadrille, as we've discussed) -just amazing.
It is not scratch resistant at all. In person there are lots of visible marks but I expected it. I purchased it with the intention of treating it like any other backpack (except letting it get wet). Even with the scratches people continue to compliment the bag.
Mine is the normal double shoulder version. When traveling the weight in the bag can be quite heavy, including a 16 inch MBP and 12 inch iPad Pro, but the bag not uncomfortable to wear.
Two downsides. 1. There is a snap on either side of the bag which can be undone to expand the size. Occasionally the snaps will come undone. 2. The magnetic closure can be finicky to close.
Seems like H.com has a lot of stock of Chypre now. I grabbed another pair in Naturel. Would be good to rotate between the black pair. I'm normally 42, 43.5 fits me best without my heel being on the rim. The half size for H is not related to length. Its for the width. So technically I had to size up.
Tip: to break them in faster, use a leather conditioner to soften the leather and avoid blisters. I did that with the black pair and it worked like magic.

If you look at the first page of this thread, back in 2008 I posted a picture of someone, and since it's a link to an image that is now broken, it doesn't show anything anymore. I've been looking for that picture these past few years to no avail. But today I stumbled upon a backup of his blog via pinterest. And so I searched for his picture, and finally found it:
Yay!
He's one of the guys who inspired me to get a HAC.
Based on the backup he stopped blogging around 2013. I can't find him on social media, but I hope he's doing well.

If I didn't know better, someone has a little crush on the HAC bag that is!
This looks like the roof top of the Champs Elysees Louis Vuitton from the Gaston Flag.
Ah, me? Yeah, I love HACs. I used to own one:
(Blue is my favorite color)
I sold it because I wasn't using it enough. It was too big for everyday use. But I still like looking at guys who carry/model them well:
Out for Sunday lunch date with my Bleu Celeste Chypre sandals, Gold belt kit and Nata Olympe Ear cuff…
