Lovely story …congratulationsHappy Birthday To Me!
I had this same bag but in 35 - this is a black 32 Togo Retourne - that I miraculously bought off the shelf at Madison Avenue for about $4k 20 years ago when I got my first substantial bonus.
About 5 years later I ended up selling it along with a number of other fabulous bags and scarves during my year of letting go and downsizing stuff. After a few years I realized being too minimal did not suit me much and I slowly started replenishing many bags and scarves but H prices had started their creep and I just couldn't plug the trigger and/or couldn't get a bag.
I told local SA that I wanted a K32 black PHW and I kept getting told sure no problem even by store manager but every 6 months when I asked of course no bag. I bought a black GP, a black Herbag, a black Evelyn, many scarves, ties, watches, RTW, toiletries, etc but no K for me.
My husband would see the look of disappointment when I'd come home with no K and the lust as I prowled Ebay and reseller sites and kept telling me to just buy a resale bag but I couldn't justify the markup and wanted a "new" bag. I finally decided prices were only going to keep going in one direction so I pulled the trigger when I found one in excellent condition only a few years young on Fashionphile where I shop often and have always have had great experiences as a buyer.
K32 came today in time for my birthday tomorrow and except for the fact that there was no orange box it looks, feels and smell practically brand new and we will be very happy together. This is a perfect size for me and I tried it with my Evelyn strap so I can crossbody and with one of my twillies (I need to get better at twilly school) and I am thrilled.
My husband is a fabulous artist and whipped up this birthday card this afternoon of us, our 15-year old rescue Coton du Tulear Coco and Ms K on my arm! I am one very lucky and grateful old broad! Thanks!

Thank you! Yes it does - it looks amazing! Love it so much!! It’s my first Kelly and I can finally add some color to my collection.

Well…I just did this!! I’ve been working so hard as a therapist while managing a chronic health condition, and this is my first purchase from the H.com site! I normally go for color but this is my first Hermes bracelet and I wanted something that I can wear with any outfit. Might choose another in the summer if I feel like adding to a collection , but I LOVE the look of rose gold (which will match my VCA sweet rose gold alhambra pendant).

Went into the Beverly Hills Hermes store for the first time looking for a mini Evelyne but they didn’t have anything. Then I inquired about a pair of mint orans but also not in my size. I think the SA felt bad and was so nice that he went and pulled a few special orans in my size and I took these!
Twilly Carrés Volants in lilas.
I have their lipstick in Rouge H and it is my fave...I threw out all my other failed attempts to find the perfect red lipstick. Enjoy!
It's nice to have the twilly to add some colour but maybe just tie it in a simple bow or at the side so that the lock can be seen incognito

.) This is such a wonderful story of coming full circle and realizing who you are and what you want. Wear this beauty in good health and happiness, she looks perfect for you. And that card by hubby? He's a keeper. 
the Tigre is absolutely stunning. I’ll be hanging this one! Couldn’t leave the rose boise oran and I can’t get enough giant triangles. They are so easy to wear!! The mens izmir is my new dad sandal since I couldn’t find the chypre! And finally a Tpm!

Congrats on your gorgeous B30 Sellier!! I love it! My question is about your dress. Is it very see thru? Is it really meant to be worn with a bathing suit under it or can you wear it as resort wear for walking around? I was going to get it but was unsure.
