DH woke up this am and said (of what I wore yesterday) ‘that Kelly is the sexiest bag in the world. It says to other bags, I am cooler than you are.’ I nearly cracked up laughing. Worn crossbody during the day with Akris dress. And later for an errand with very old Roberto cavali denim (yep, I’m old enough that I can shop vintage in my own closet :biggrin: ) . Dolce and cavali used to line denim with patterned silk) I wear it straps under the closed flap when I leave the house 28 sellier Kelly brushed phw, canvas strap (blue grey - close to blu abysse

You look great! :tup: (I know- if I save it long enough, it just comes back into style again)
 
I searched my photo library for pics of my K28 with two of my Evie canvas straps (gold & etoupe). These photos were taken in early March right before NYC began sheltering in place (and the last time I used any H bag). The canvas strap worked well over late winter coats, and the mismatched color pairing of strap and bag helped to keep me casually UTR wherever I went.

Love this look!

I love it too! :biggrin: (Love your cat’s quizzical expression as if to say, you’re taking a pic of your toy and not me?)

your last pic is kind of how I imagine coco Chanel today. She’s bored of all the crap in her closet and looking to make something old modern and relevant ;) (I’m blocking the Nazi part bc weirtheimer got the company back)

It looks great with these straps- love that blue and PHW combo :heart: ! Try them with your Bolide as well ( VERY easy to wear then!)

I love the idea of wearing the straps under the flap. I do agree closing everything up can be a pain at times, but leaving them hanging sort of bothers me as well. Good suggestion! You look great btw :)

Thank you @coloradolvr! I worry about the spindle? Spine? When I see Kelly’s open, so I think the belted straps under the flap might help support the bags weight. when belted, I can get my hand inside and pluck my cc and phone from the interior pocket, but I’d have to unbelt to get anything big out. I do keep my Amex, metro card and phone in zipped cargo pants pockets. ( if I was on my iPhone I’d insert a rolling eye emoticon here. . .
