My first Kelly 28 in vert cypresThough green is not my color I just love this bag.View attachment 4176956
Simply beautiful! Although H greens are lovely, not my color either, but seeing this...methinks I want something in vert cypress!
Hi ladies
I hope you don't mind if I tell you a story... Please ignore if its too long and sappy...
My mother was a H fan, and I grew up with Ks and Bs. She lent me/gave me her Ks and Bs so I never had to buy those. So when my mother past away from cancer, I inherited her bags, but I didn't have the heart to go to H stores cuz it reminded me of my mother too much. After several years and moving to a new State, I decided it was time for me to enjoy H again, so I went back but I didn't know anything about the history thingy worked cuz I never really shopped towards Bs and Ks before. Thanks to this forum and TPF members, I was able to arm myself with knowledge, and I went to H.
Yesterday, I got a call from my SA and I was told my B arrived. After screaming on the phone, I quickly gathered myself, apologized, and got ready to go to H store. I forgot how to put on my make-up, I forgot how to dress (my mind went blank and just stood in front of my closet), I ran outside and remembered I forgot my phone so I had to go back home, I made a mistake and wore socks with my sandals.
When I got to H, I sat down and my lovely SA brought out the B with several other items on a tray. I've seen photos of others on this forum that had those trays; now I know what it is for! I teared up and told my SA about my mom. You see, it's not just a bag; its more then that; its history, and its something you carry and look at all the time. It's very personal and a girl thing. It also happened to be my birthday.
This is my very first B that I got on my own! My SA is a super angel, but I don't think I would have been able to get this bag if it wasn't for the help of this forum's members who patiently answered all my stupid rookie questions, and all my fellow rookie members who asked the questions I should have asked but didn't, and learned from their questions too.
Thank you oh oh oh so much; I'm so grateful to all H family members of H on this forum. I'm hoping this will be the first of many more to come (where's ban island again?)

Thank you oh so much for letting me share my bag and my sappy story!
What a touching story! Thanks for sharing! Your new B is even more special knowing that the memories, love and passion from your mother have all been passed on to you. What a legacy!
And Happy Birthday! Nothing like that call, the disbelief, the mad scramble and the attempt to compose oneself.
So happy for you!

Don’t tell me. It’s already in my never ending wishlist.Simply beautiful! Although H greens are lovely, not my color either, but seeing this...methinks I want something in vert cypress!
Thank you Renet~~
You make this forum fun to be part of! Thank you so much for your kind words!Just passing your cc to my SA is exactly the same with me! Except in my case, I sleepwalked around the store and picked up a shawl
You found the ban island! but too too too funny that you sent a convoy overseas!
I'll bring my dingy along and we can escape together when I'm there!Once again, thank you for your very kind words!
Agree. The pic clearly shows ombre lizard. Is the other side gator?
Need to investigate. It's right up my alley =)

Thank you elly_fong~!
I enjoy reading your posts! Thank you for your kind words too!
I was hoping it would be lizard because that means it would be cheaper
your B is so special and so rare!!!
I’m kinda jelly
Thank you Periogirl28, and thank you for all your fun posts! You're one of the members I enjoy reading and learn through your posts!
And you are Right! So sorry HKsai; you both were correct to say the clochette is Lizard. I forgot to look inside the clochette ! It has 2 dashes so it is lizard. The receipt and the Customs paper they gave me are incorrectly marked as Alligator! You saw this at FSH? wow so cool

You're one of the first member that I posted something to on this forum! Your kitty Murray and your posts are soooo enjoyable! you make this forum so fun! Thank you!Scrambling and disbelief is the perfect word to describe the rush to H!
I wasn't expecting this call for at least a year so I was in total shock!
