Which Croc Bag to Get?

[kelly32]

Grande Latte both bags are gorgeous, you can't go wrong with either one,but based on your current colors, black would be lovely addition & since you seem to grab the birkin more, I second Asa's suggestion, black croc birkin.....

Ditto. Exactly what medusa said!!

I would go for the kelly...then add a canvas strap like Rene Zellwiger!

I'm partial to the black croc Kelly. As for pricing, a 28cm sellier black porosus pre-price hike was around $21,000 USD so add a few hundred or $1K to get to the retail for a 32 Sellier, and that can be your starting point. HTH!

GL, perhaps your decision's been made for you -- it looks like the birkin might be gone. so then you can stop torturing yourself and just get that beautiful kelly!

 

[Grande Latte]

Hmmm...thank you all for your honest opinions. Is it accurate that croc kellys are around $20,000 and that croc birkins are around $30,000?

I think right how croc kelly is a more feasible option to me. I've been dreaming about it for quite a long time now, so I think I'll take the plunge.

And yes, I was thinking the same too about the color black. It'll really round out my collection.

Thank you!

It depends on the skin and size; nilo is less than porosus. A matte nilo in a 30cm Birkin was around $23K pre-price hike whereas a 35cm shiny porosus croc is around the low $30s.

I'm looking at this one right now. Even though it's older than me, it's in pristine condition from a reputable seller. What do you think? I can get a little discount on this one.

It's beautiful, and LZ is awesome, but the pricing is a bit high for a bag of this vintage IMO considering a new one can be had for just a few thousand more. A similar one was sold by sandiaexchange a few months ago for about $10K.

I vote for the kelly black croc for you. It is the ultimate classic bag!!

I bought this one from Sandia. I NEVER carry it and I just bought that 35 matte croc birkin. I might consider letting her go.

Do you still have the listing link? I searched sandiaexchange's previous sales and I wasn't able to locate a black croc kelly.

The auction was in August so it wont show

They both are beautiful, but the Kelly is GORGEOUS!!!!! I really love the Kelly bags. So classic and elegeant. That would be a forever bag. It would always be in style.

I think down deep you'll know which one is really YOUR style when you take into consideration the bags you already have.

Good luck. I don't think you can go wrong either way.

croc kelly for sure. it's so beautiful and classic! i love the one on lz's site! i might go for palladium with black croc though.

Another vote for the black croc Kelly.
And, since it sounds like croc Kelly would be cheaper than croc Birkin, you could use the saving to buy another Birkin, perhaps in a dark color like ebene or cocoan or chocolate, to be your workhorse.
