On my wish list - I saw one at the Madison Boutique and liked it a lot. I have a K40 Lakis and the extra room in the maxi would be a better fit for my large laptop. The one I saw very light too (did u see the one at Madison) - I asked for a darker color.

No, my base is in Asia. The problem is the boutique that I usually visit doesn’t always have large bags. The color is very light yellow which I don’t like a lot. But I wonder how long do I have to wait if I reject this one….
The bag is pretty heavy by the way. I feel like it’s even more heavy than my K50… do you feel the same?
The bag I saw at Madison in NYC is probably the same color light yellow you saw - agree I did not like it and it was an odd color choice for what is supposed to be a bag from the men’s collection. The leather (togo?):feels heavier than the box calf/canvas of my K40 though I am used to carrying a heavy bag but that didn’t bother me. I do have an old Travel Kelly 50 in Clemence - now that is a heavy bag 
I hope the maxi is offered in more colors …

Looks great. Does the ear cuff stay on well? I need to get one I have short hair!
May I ask how much did you pay and how big of a difference?
Thanks! Yeah, it's very secure, so don't think that would be an issue.
Mid-week moseying in Selfridges post-dinner…
I don't have the receipt with me but it was a bit north of US$11,000 from what I remember. Don't know what the price for the GM is.
I got the Kelly Messenger GM in Barenia Faubourg leather (it smells and feels amazing) and just went on my first work trip with it. It fit my Macbook 13" computer and chargers just fine, but I'll be happy when the insert comes to make things easier (if it fits...).
It must cost a lot more due to the leather! Can’t wait to see the pic of you wearing it!
My first offer was an HAC cosmic ombre which i absolutely loved but was 26k....I had to say no to that and got an Evelyn TPM in Etoupe a few visits later. When realizing the limited capacity I asked for something a bit more practial for work/travel/life and was offered this kelly messenger at the RTW event the week before last. I got a pair of the Seoul Pleated pants with the side buckles, some chypre sandals (black and blue) and the bag (which was about $14,500)....Which I rationalized because it was roughly half the price of the HAC haha (hermes math). I'll also note that flying with bags at this price point is hard when you have to place it under the seat....but you all know that feeling better than I
