Here is a picture of my new bag with canvas strap...I feel the strap really turns it into the casual bag I was hoping for! FYI i am 5'3" and this is a 32
Great look!! Thanks so much for including your height- that's always something that I think about, but that 32 looks perfect on you. :tup:
I must have missed it- what are the specs of that lovely Kelly?

Thank you NYmeria...this is 32 fjord ghw and I think marron fonce kelly...I am hoping that someone else chimes in to confirm the color...seller thought ebene but I think marron fonce....dark brown with definite purple undertones. I'm thrilled with it!
 
I have loved looking through this thread! Still waiting on my SO Kelly which I am really hoping has that casual cool vibe. Placed in October 2018 I ordered a 32 Retourne in Etain with Graphite stitching and brushed silver hardware. It's been long enough I don't remember the name of the interior color but it's a lighter gray. I have worried about the stitching which my SA recommended. She thought since I have a few bags with light color contrast stitching the darker color would give it a different look from my other bags. It's funny that reading through the special order thread I have had second thoughts that maybe I should have gone with a brighter more fun color. So many SO bags are so colorful and beautiful, but honestly not me! This thread and the comments of others has made me more secure in my choices. Now if only I would get the call that my hopefully casual cool Kelly has arrived!

Wow... that combo sounds stunning! Can't wait for you to receive and post pictures! Do you think you'll get a canvas strap? I highly recommend if you like the cross body look. It's nice to have options!

Yes! This is my thread. That picture of Nine D’Urso carrying the burgundy(?) Kelly crossbody is what made me want to buy a Kelly in the first place.

For me personally the ultimate casual cool Kelly would be a 28 or 32 retourne in a neutral color. It would be even cooler to have a vintage vibe so I’m imagining it in box leather and worn on the shoulder.

All my friends love Sellier and want a structured, statement look and don’t understand my love for retourne. I think sellier can also be cool/edgy but not the same type of chill vibe...

Thank you! I have a few different canvas straps I’m hoping will look good. My SA is hopeful it will be here soon. She can see a 32 is on its way to store and said it’s not a commonly ordered size so my hopes are high!
