I've carried it since I posted, I can't believe I was going to sell it...Yes! Lol. I just bought a dress and a blouse in prints/colors that aren’t really ‘me’, b/c they go perfectly with 2 colored nodinis i have
I paid $2150 plus tax. I just dropped it at Hermès this week. I should have an estimate in about 2 weeks. They were pretty nonplussed about the condition, told me it would probably stay here in the US for repairs. I chose them because they know the bag better than anyone and if they bag gets ruined, they will stand behind it. The corners and the top of the side panels where they meet the sides need repaired. The leather covering on the underside of the handle needs repaired/replaced, though the handle itself is in good shape. The sangles need resealed...no major cracks or tears but there is surface cracking. There is also some restitching on the and some surface cracking on the top flap. I was clear that I don’t want a brand new looking bag....just a structurally restored one that can last another 65 years with good care/maintenance. I only buy vintage!BowieFan1971, Love the name, by the way!! I’m a big Bowie and Iman fan
May I please ask how much you paid for your vintage Kelly? It might make me feel better about a vintage Kelly I bought. And where have you sent your bag for refurbishing? Hermès, Leather Surgeons, or elsewhere? Thank you!
l loved Iman since the early 80’s, so elegant. But Bowie....loved him from the age of about 5, when I heard Rebel Rebel for the first time. Been a fan for 45 years now....

You got your bag for a good price, even if restoration is a couple thousand dollars!
Iman is amazing. If only more people knew what she went through before and during her escape from Africa. There is a reason Bowie stuck with her! And she with him, until the end. I surmise you and I are about the same age, when you’ve been a fan that long. I remember when they got together. Their story is beautiful.

Sold two discos a while ago and just bought these two again after realizing all the bags I have are a bit too high maintenance for everyday.
My Longchamp small cuir Le Pliage in Pink just arrived today!!
Added another Hermes Evelyne but this time in the PM size. I find this bag so easy to use and also capucine is such a fun color.
Scored this Valentino beauty at Nords rack
Thank you!

Just got these 2 beauties. The boy is small... It barely holds my phone (note 10 plus) width ways and a card holder and maybe a lipstick or small perfume atomizer. But I loved the handle with chanel on it. It's super cute. Also got the choker same time. Both are preloved but in excellent cond.

So glad you kept it...once a bag is gone, no getting it back....I've carried it since I posted, I can't believe I was going to sell it...
