I can’t decide which bag to get. I already have three Kellys—two 25s and a 35 in Retourne—that I use occasionally. I love the Mini Jypsiere for its crossbody, casual-chic look, but I’m not sure if I should go with a classic like this vintage black Box Kelly from 1998.

My Kelly’s are Bordeaux ghw, Chai phw, and Gris T ghw.
 
Kelly :D

Great proportion on you. IMO can be dressed up or down, and holds its value. Also, I love the cool girl phw aesthetic on noir box

However, I’m not a fan of the mini jypserie, so biased :)

ETA: I just reread your post more carefully. If you wear your Kelly bags only occasionally, what specifically draws you to the noir? If you think you would wear the jypserie more, then perhaps that is the one you should get.
You know yourself best, so don’t second guess your initial gut instincts :)

I feel like my 25 Kelly bags are a bit more formal, so I use them for dinners out rather than daily errands/shopping/etc. The 35 kelly is used as a workbag or when I need to carry a lot of items. I am drawn to the box sellier noir because it is just so classic and chic. It can elevate any outfit instantly.
 
The mini Jypsiere is actually a very cool and useful bag IMO. I see it on people and find it both practical and striking.

BUT...if you're going to say "mini J or Kelly" it will always be a Kelly for me. I also think it looks proportional on you.

As for GHW or PHW, it's harder to find PHW with noir Box calf. Both are beautiful. You can't go wrong.
