** see edit below ** Hi my loves! Hope you enjoyed the reveal! Were you surprised? Hehe I always buy what I personally love and I encourage you to do the same. We all like and appreciate different styles/colours/sizes so as long as you love what you buy it doesn't matter what others say. By the way don't worry if you didn't guess right I actually have another surprise for my beloved #faMELy coming up soon! Xo Mel P.S To be fair for the guess to be correct (as I stated in the last video) it had to state if the bag was either a B or K and specify size/colour of bag and hardware. However I hope it was fun playing the guessing game and I think in future we should do this more often with little prizes as well ☺️ Edit 17/11 I got a few questions on this so thought I’ll pin it here for any of you wondering. The Hermes system is not linked worldwide. So for example when I am in Paris they cannot see my buying history in Australia. I do know that within France it’s all linked but I do not believe it is throughout Europe (if anyone knows any different please let me know). As it was my first time in the Prague store (my first purchase on the day too with just the Kelly bag and Twilly, hubby did not buy shoes beforehand) I actually had to register as a new customer. So that’s why I don’t think the SA in Prague could see my history in France either. Also when she offered us the bag, she never asked for any passport or details. So to her we were just walk-ins/tourists. I hope that clears things up :)
The bag is just amazing!! Now it may not be my style because of the size but you know what, if it is your style that’s totally fine..btw it looks stunning on you Mel it suits you very well!! Now that little Fendi on the other hand is more my style hahaha. Mel thank you for inspiring me to work hard for what I love and what I love to do.. I think this Hermes experience you had was a perfect explanation of how hard work pays off!! Because if you think about it I’m very sure that you work extremely hard for what you enjoy and want and by receiving/getting offered this sort of bag is just a way of you hard work paying off.. since you didn’t even expect it!! But I must say you do 100% deserve everything you own, love and aspire to do!! Btw I’m still so ready for you to hit 200k because that is going to be a major milestone for not only you but me :) now also we can’t forget about the nano speedy🥰🥰thanks Mel oh and if I didn’t mention I absolutely loved this in depth experience of a video..can’t wait to see more xx
Mel, try @myastrap the business is run by @naznazif1 who is sg reseller. He has great options and can generally match any colour. Gratz on the bag i love Kelly 32/35 more than birkin 35 because the strap gives u that flexibility if you are carrying more inside the bag; feeling the weight
What a beautiful bag and the color looks so elegant! I really enjoy listening to your story and loving your every mod shot. You always look adorable when you try on a bag or a dress. 😍
The main takeaway I got from this video is that it never hurts to ask. This is a gorgeous bag and I've been loving darker shades of green at the moment.
Mel is obviously very rich but also humble. I don’t feel uncomfortable watching her showing us her expensive purchases and somehow she manages to not come as showing off or bragging. I like her personality!
I agree with everything you are saying. I love her channel and her videos. But I really wonder even the rich would have trouble buying this much especially at these price points. Let’s face it she is a major influencer so I wonder is she gets these bags as promos or loaners. I have a couple celebrity level relatives and I will tell you they don’t pay for anything In exchange for being seen around town if you get what Im saying. The closet video was modest compare to all the shopping.
@@MelinMelbourne Hi, they say life is about choice. Do you and your husband wakeup everyday and still go to work to be able to buy these "accessories". Or is this more like passive income money where neither of you have a day job? Thank you.
I live how your husband is “in” the videos and not “in” the videos. Social media sometimes can be treacherous and I’m glad you’re doing what you can to protect your family.
I can't afford a kelly or a birkin and don't even dream of owning one but i like to hear the story of how you scored them. You look so genuine, sincere and not bragging at all. Congratulations on your 20th wed anniversary anyway 💐🎉🎊😊 enjoy ur new kelly..
I’ve experienced scoring a birkin by just walk-in too. It was in Swiss Bern and it was literally my first visit to that store. Actually Iwas in a family trip to Europe and actually we were in Zurich before we went to Bern. I wanted to buy a specific scarf but they didn’t have any in stock and I happened to tell the sales lady the destinations we were heading after Zurich. The sales lady told me that in Hermes Bern boutique, there was a scarf that I wanted and she could hold it for me. A few days later, i went in to Bern boutique and I can’t remember how or why but I asked the SA that I was looking for a Craie bag with gold hardware. At that time Craie was a new color for Hermes and back then Craie seemed to be not as popular as now. And the sales lady went back with a Craie birkin 30 gold hardware. She told me that it was a item that was rejected twice from that store VIPs and I was so lucky. Anyway it was a long story Hehe.... Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience and share what you got! It is so gorgeous! I had Vert Cypress mini evelyne but I sold it because it didn’t fit as much as I thought. So it was nothing wrong about the color!! Thanks for always caring and sharing and hope you reach 200k anytime soon!
Yay I’m so happy to read your story too! Thank you for sharing! Wow Craie is in huge demand now too I personally loved it ages ago - you definitely scored my dear! So happy for you! Xo
So many beautiful bags this year Mel, & the year hasn’t ended yet! 🤣 I would say this bag suits you the best and most like you- the color and size.. so lady-like and poised when you carried it 💃🏻❤️
Mel my dearest friend what I find the most beautiful part of what happened is that it came from hubbys intention to get you a bag. I feel that is so special and indeed priceless. The size is great it is perportionate to your height the color is to die for love everything about it. You deserve it me love and your so happy makes me happy honestly 💋💋💋
im a student, wanted to buy my mum her 40th birthday gift was thinking of a chanel perfume. I didnt wear any fancy clothing as im just well to do. The sales associate looked at me and told me to put the perfume back if i wasnt buy any.. I was in a shock and stormed out of the store
Stunning bag Mel...and the colour is so unique 🙌🙌🙌 I grew up carrying big bags and even though I have many smaller bags now I still LOVE big bags where I can just throw in my stuff without downsizing 😬😬 I always enjoy the stories behind your purchases 💕💕
I love how you had a giant smile on your face as you revealed. It shows how much you truly love your Hermes. It's great you got to go back and received the service everyone should deserve. Good job to your hubby for working whatever charm it was, haha. Lovely bag =D
Congratulations! I think this is one of the most beautiful Kellys I have seen. The 35 is a great size. It’s not at all like a 35cm tote, which can seem enormous, it’s still definitely a handbag size and so elegant.
There’s so many beautiful stories on here of how people were treated so sweetly on memorable occasions has completely changed my mind on Hermès. I wish they would have consistency with their associates.
What a gorgeous Kelly bag! Happy Anniversary, Mel. Your husband is so sweet and I’m so happy for you. This Kelly looks beautiful on you. Thanks for sharing your story.
Hermés really loves purchases associated with milestones and memories! Many first B&K buying experiences I've heard are from couples and hubbies looking for anniversary gifts. Congratulations, Mel!! Love the color!!
Hi Mel, do you always declare all your overseas luxury purchases to the Australian customs officer (or on the incoming passenger card) upon returning to Australia? Does it make any difference when you do vs you dont?
Your bag is beautiful! I walked into a boutique in Dallas, Texas and was offered a Birkin without them even asking my name. It is the Gold Birkin 35 with the gold hardware and I absolutely love it. So, yes, you can buy a bag (if you are lucky) without a purchase history at a different boutique. Always ask, it can’t hurt!
that Kelly 35 is NOT at all too big on you Mel, in fact looks perfect on you as a work/business bag. the color is absolute gorgeous. she's a MISS PRANCY - PRA for Prague and CY for Cyprus lol, and is definately worth prancing around in :)
Hi Mel! Congrats on your beautiful new bag (kudos to your hubby!🏆)!! I had guessed B35! The K35 suits you very well and will be a lovely addition to your collection! I was recently offered the B30 in Vert Cypress/GH and it was love at first sight! Photos do not do it justice. The color is so rich and elegant in real life! I’m sure you’ll enjoy her. I had also commented that I feel it’s about time to start adding in the 35’s. I’m guessing they’ll once again become popular in the near future!?!? They’ll make for a well rounded collection! Your travel vlogs are beautifully edited and such a pleasure😊😊
Mellll!!! That bag is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I have always been a Birkin fan but after seeing this size I am in love! The color is stunning & goes beautifully w that twilly! I hope you enjoy your new baby! ❤️ Happy Anniversary to you & hubbs!
Hi Mel we live in Canada and are now in French Polynesia on our 10th wedding anniversary we had a 24 hr stopover in San Francisco and went straight to the hermes store just to take a chance for a bag but also to purchase items not sold in Canada, while there we met a sweet SA who helped us throughout our purchase ,of course we mentioned that we always wanted a Birkin or Kelly , in the end they were closing shop and moving to new location so they had very little stock in store ,the store was closing on Saturday for 1 week.Only thing disappointing was my purchase history in Canada was not in the system😥 so I had to make a new profile with this location 🥰, after we left to go back to rental car my wife was hungry and stopped in for some snacks I checked my email and saw a message from that wonderful SA from 30min after we left saying it was nice meeting us and asking if we were still around I emailed back saying yes but no reply we then decided to go back and see but she was out for lunch break so we waited across the street for 20 min and said let's try 1 more time and she was there and said she had a surprise to show us we weren't sure what it was and said sure, low and behold a 35 Birkin limited edition Tressage blue encre Swift leather in palladium hardware .we are so in love with our first ever Birkin .sorry for long story btw big fans
I was lucky too when I went to Prague last month. I was looking for onthego Tote LV ,been in Berlin, Vienna and Budapest didn’t find it telling me it’s a limited edition and you’ll have difficulty to get it.The last city of our trip was Prague and this SA told me to come back in the morning and gave her card. I did come back and she showed me the bag and I took/bought it right away.
I’ve been watching you for awhile now and just realized I hadn’t hit the “ subscribe button” even though I’m a 7RP fan for my Kelly and Birkin because of you Mel....DUH!!! In any event the bag is a stunner and I will never go for the mini bag craze. Just wish I was into Hermes when I visited Prague a few years back🙃. Oh yeah.. officially subscribed!
I LOVE Hearing Stories like this!!! I'm extremely happy for you and your DH. It's Gorgeous Mel... And the color I appreciate more than your green Birkins. I've always enjoyed a large bag and this bag is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING on to you...so happy for you Mel. ENJOY!!!!😘💕
Ok I was wrong on the size but I did guess Kelly, green, with gold hardware. Congratulations on your beautiful bag! I too am a Grace Kelly fan which is why I have a Van Cleef and Arpels problem. I think this bag looks amazing on you!
Such a gorgeous bag! I just posted an Hermes unboxing vid but it’s the complete opposite LOL - mine is the cheapest item from Hermes 🤗 One day I hope to have a Kelly but in the meantime I’ll enjoy your videos! Thank you so much for sharing 💞🤗
So love your bag 💖💖💖 The color is so gorgeous and classy 💖💖💖 Your husband ‘s aura of being sincere as well as you touched the SA that’s why you scored it 💖🙏🏻Thanks much for sharing and Stay lovely and Fab ! 💖
Hi Mel!!! That's awesome that your hubby was able to get it!! Its beautiful & looks AMAZING on you definitely doesn't look big! Wear it in good health 💝💝💝💝💋💋
Congrats on your new bag Mrs. Mel! The new bag gives such a classy look. Maybe you may want to name her as Grace? Since carrying it makes you look graceful and you remember Grace Kelly when you thinking of buying it :)
Congrats so much!! 👏👏 was really excited to see what your hubby got for u!! What a lucky exprience u had in Hermes Prague. Im really excited, happy for u! It looks perfect for u, size-wise! Watched all your European vlogs!! I love love it! ❤ more travels and bags in the future, Love! Btw, drooling over your bag! 😄 -love, Fritzie
Since I read the title, I'm not sure how or why but I knew it was a green bag. The only difference I thought it was a Birkin. Your husband is super lucky to and congratulations to you on another bag Mel. You are so sweet and humble. Sending you lots and lots of love😘🤗🎉
That color is soooooooo gorgeous! It looks very elegant. I am a huge fan of this color! And i think this color is really a hard to find. Very beautiful purchase Mel! Sure it’s gonna look great on you! ❤️🙌🏼
Oh Mel I am so excited for you ! This is truly the most heavenly bag and looks divine on you. The colour is gorgeous and very sheek. It is so you and I am thrilled that you chose it. I love this size bag on you and is perfect. The combination is absolute perfection. You look so elegant wearing it. I am so excited for you - yay!!!!!!!!!! I am thinking Chesky for a name as in Chesky Krumlov in Prague which you featured so beautifully . I feel like I have just purchased this bag myself !!!!! - I am so thrilled for you !!!!!!❤️
it looks like midnight green color from the iphone omg!! love ur new bag mel! u should name it after ur fav place in prague! or just name it Ms Prague xoxo
mel tells her stories very well! i didn't realize the whole video was just her talking until more than halfway through because her words had me envision the whole story!
Congrats! I was in Prague in August and browsed inside Hermès for 10 minutes till I sensed I found an SA who had a kind aura. A few came up to us to offer help and we politely declined. May I venture to to guess that your SA’s name was S - - -?? She was the loveliest person. She told me to come back the next day as they had no bags but she wasn’t sure they would have any the next day as well. She wasn’t even going to be there but said her colleague would help me. They offered me a black, Togo, Birkin 30 with rose gold hardware! We were shocked and grateful. The new SA told me that S- - - insisted the day prior that if I were to return, this bag was to get offered to me. I’m so grateful!! It was my first bag at the time. S- - - and I built up a rapport and after watching your video, I can’t help but think you also worked with her. I was with my husband and kids. Your bag is gorgeous. Enjoy!!
Oh my goodness! Yes you are right! That's her! I am so glad to hear you had such a lovely experience as well. Yay.... I am absolutely thrilled for you too, how perfect a B30 black with rghw, that is just beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your story, I think many others will enjoy reading it. As we know with Hermes...its all a bit of a mystery and you just never know what can happen! :) x
What a beautiful bag, Mel, congratulations! The colour is amazing against the gold hardware. The Fendi bag is cute too but that Kelly bag will never date. My dad was a big fan of Grace Kelly as well. We went to Monaco on a trip to Europe before he passed just because of that:) It's such a beautiful place. I think I'm going to add a Kelly bag to my wish list now.❤
Mel, I just found your channel last night and I am binge watching as many videos of yours as I can. You are so down to earth and just seem so nice. I love your story times on how you and now your hubby acquire these gorgeous bags.
Mel ... my daughters are six and ten and we’ve been following u for a while and we loooooveee you. We’ve watched all ur videos and we’re definitely some of ur biggest fans !! My daughters hv made a video showing all my bags ... just the way you do. We love you ... take care Mel
I have to ask. Why do you hold it with the clasps dangling down? I see everyone carry this bag open and not put together. I see Grace Kelley held it closed and really curious why they all appear open.
Exactly happened to me. I went Hermes Milan and was given terrible service when I asked if certain leathers are easily scratched and she replied “real leathers get scratched. Unavoidable “ she kinda twitch her eyebrows (showing her annoyance). But I went to different level and was given a very good service with a younger sales associate.
Congratulations! I am a little impatient with the small bag mania! I like small bags as much as anyone else but a good collection should have a mix of big and small! Thank you for the video.
Gorgeous bag!! Mel - can u please share how u ship those large boxes home when u shop abroad? Do u put them into another box so they don’t get damaged?
mirnanad here gotta make fun of myself sometimes hehe Thank you my dear I thought it was going to look huge but in reality it really isn’t that big and glad you love the size on me too xx
Amazing Mel! Woohoo good job Mel’s hubby! Haha! I actually never considered a 35 kelly but after seeing it on you, you’re right it doesn’t look that big, maybe because of it being a retourne shape it’s more a relaxed feel instead of a sellier shape. 🙌 🥰👍💚👏
Wow!super beautiful!happy for you and hubby!another additional Hermes in your luxury bag family! Enjoy your Hermes Kelly Gold! Again happy Anniversary 💙🎂💙
Hey Mel do you still have this bag if so could you do a comparison between the Kelly 32 and 35 because I would love to see the differences because I have 35 size but really want the 32 just afraid it won’t hold enough. Thanks so much and this bag is beautiful love the color!
It’s LOVE 💖, at first sight, Dear Mel, for this beautiful beautiful Hermes Kelly 35cm!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. This bag 💼 is to DIE FOR and on you it looks amazingly elegant! Excellent 👌🏻 choice for you and Hubby as well😉😉😉. Thanks 😊 a lot for sharing 👍🏼😘💋👍🏼😘💋🥰😍🥰😍😘

Aww you are too kind Emma thank you! xx
Yes! Mel is GOALS hunny! ❤️🤗❤️
What I love about Mel,she's speaking with elegance and style but remain humble.
I have no doubt that the sales lady felt how nice people you and your husband were, wich made her offer the bags.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching and for your sweet compliments too x
You are too sweet. xo
She is really a very graceful lady.🥰
I live how your husband is “in” the videos and not “in” the videos. Social media sometimes can be treacherous and I’m glad you’re doing what you can to protect your family.
EyeWouldDie4U yes you are completely right. Plus he doesn't want to be featured so I completely respect that too. Thank you so much for watching :)
We all need a man like Mel's hub, period.
He’s an enabler 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Karen Ho totally...
haha this time totally! xo
I can't afford a kelly or a birkin and don't even dream of owning one but i like to hear the story of how you scored them. You look so genuine, sincere and not bragging at all. Congratulations on your 20th wed anniversary anyway 💐🎉🎊😊 enjoy ur new kelly..
I’ve experienced scoring a birkin by just walk-in too. It was in Swiss Bern and it was literally my first visit to that store. Actually Iwas in a family trip to Europe and actually we were in Zurich before we went to Bern. I wanted to buy a specific scarf but they didn’t have any in stock and I happened to tell the sales lady the destinations we were heading after Zurich. The sales lady told me that in Hermes Bern boutique, there was a scarf that I wanted and she could hold it for me. A few days later, i went in to Bern boutique and I can’t remember how or why but I asked the SA that I was looking for a Craie bag with gold hardware. At that time Craie was a new color for Hermes and back then Craie seemed to be not as popular as now. And the sales lady went back with a Craie birkin 30 gold hardware. She told me that it was a item that was rejected twice from that store VIPs and I was so lucky. Anyway it was a long story Hehe....
Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience and share what you got! It is so gorgeous! I had Vert Cypress mini evelyne but I sold it because it didn’t fit as much as I thought. So it was nothing wrong about the color!! Thanks for always caring and sharing and hope you reach 200k anytime soon!
회사충 great story telling,and you are really lucky!you should make you own radio and show the bag ;)
Yay I’m so happy to read your story too! Thank you for sharing! Wow Craie is in huge demand now too I personally loved it ages ago - you definitely scored my dear! So happy for you! Xo
That dark green is so stunning with the gold hardware and suits you so well!
Your husband is full of surprises! First, the rare lv bag, and now a kelly! Love this story time!!!!! And the story behind this "miraculous" kelly bag
Honestly Mel, that is just the most perfect handbag. It looks perfectly proportioned and it's a gorgeous colour. I absolutely love it.
So many beautiful bags this year Mel, & the year hasn’t ended yet! 🤣 I would say this bag suits you the best and most like you- the color and size.. so lady-like and poised when you carried it 💃🏻❤️
Thank you Alicia, yes I do have more to show you hehe ;)
So glad you think it suits me, the colour and size I thought was just so elegant xo
Mel in Melbourne can’t wait hehe 💕 & I would name her Miss Grace (Kelly) 👑 since it is most fitting- so elegant, classic. You & the bag both! ✨
Mel my dearest friend what I find the most beautiful part of what happened is that it came from hubbys intention to get you a bag. I feel that is so special and indeed priceless. The size is great it is perportionate to your height the color is to die for love everything about it. You deserve it me love and your so happy makes me happy honestly 💋💋💋
One of the most beautiful color combination I've ever seen, you can never go wrong with gold hardware
Wowwwwww...... Mel.... The color of that bag is beautiful 😍😍😍
Mel you don’t look old enough to be celebrating your 20th wedding anniversary! Congratulations, you’re husband is a lucky man 😍
im a student, wanted to buy my mum her 40th birthday gift was thinking of a chanel perfume. I didnt wear any fancy clothing as im just well to do. The sales associate looked at me and told me to put the perfume back if i wasnt buy any.. I was in a shock and stormed out of the store

dancngal I'm so glad my enthusiasm translated through the camera. Yes hubby did so well. Thank you so much for watching x
This shade of green which looks black in certain lights is one of my absolute favourite colours. You won the lottery, I think, with that bag.
Congratulations! I think this is one of the most beautiful Kellys I have seen. The 35 is a great size. It’s not at all like a 35cm tote, which can seem enormous, it’s still definitely a handbag size and so elegant.
It is Gorgeous. U deserve this bag. Great score. Ur husband did great.
I was wondering if you ever do get the new strap for this bag if you will give up a little update
There’s so many beautiful stories on here of how people were treated so sweetly on memorable occasions has completely changed my mind on Hermès. I wish they would have consistency with their associates.
What a gorgeous Kelly bag! Happy Anniversary, Mel. Your husband is so sweet and I’m so happy for you. This Kelly looks beautiful on you. Thanks for sharing your story.
Hermés really loves purchases associated with milestones and memories! Many first B&K buying experiences I've heard are from couples and hubbies looking for anniversary gifts. Congratulations, Mel!! Love the color!!
Hi Mel, do you always declare all your overseas luxury purchases to the Australian customs officer (or on the incoming passenger card) upon returning to Australia? Does it make any difference when you do vs you dont?
What is taiga leather?
Your bag is beautiful! I walked into a boutique in Dallas, Texas and was offered a Birkin without them even asking my name. It is the Gold Birkin 35 with the gold hardware and I absolutely love it. So, yes, you can buy a bag (if you are lucky) without a purchase history at a different boutique. Always ask, it can’t hurt!
Dixie Smitherman yay! Thank you for sharing your story too! Absolutely if you don't ask you don't know. A b35 in gold is such a beautiful classic! 🧡
that Kelly 35 is NOT at all too big on you Mel, in fact looks perfect on you as a work/business bag. the color is absolute gorgeous. she's a MISS PRANCY - PRA for Prague and CY for Cyprus lol, and is definately worth prancing around in :)
Congratulations. Beautiful bag . Mel what is the name of your SA in Hawaii. Thx dear
Aby Yousaf Joyo Dipuro
Is it heavy?
Hi Mel! Did you manage to find a place that can make custom straps for Hermes bags?
loved this story and video Mel.
Congrats! That color is stunning. No one does colored leather like Hermes. So beautiful.
Kat R agree
I have been addicted to watching your videos 🥰
how much does it cost for tis kelly 35 mel?it is a beautiful bag especially its color
I mentioned it the video :)

I was lucky too when I went to Prague last month. I was looking for onthego Tote LV ,been in Berlin, Vienna and Budapest didn’t find it telling me it’s a limited edition and you’ll have difficulty to get it.The last city of our trip was Prague and this SA told me to come back in the morning and gave her card. I did come back and she showed me the bag and I took/bought it right away.
i like big bags. How do you keep buying bags?
I’ve been watching you for awhile now and just realized I hadn’t hit the “ subscribe button” even though I’m a 7RP fan for my Kelly and Birkin because of you Mel....DUH!!! In any event the bag is a stunner and I will never go for the mini bag craze. Just wish I was into Hermes when I visited Prague a few years back🙃.
Oh yeah.. officially subscribed!
I LOVE Hearing Stories like this!!! I'm extremely happy for you and your DH. It's Gorgeous Mel... And the color I appreciate more than your green Birkins. I've always enjoyed a large bag and this bag is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING on to you...so happy for you Mel. ENJOY!!!!😘💕
MINDBODYSOUL thanks my darling xo 😘
I love your new bags! Awesome taste as always, Mel. Love lots from the Philippines!!!
Ok I was wrong on the size but I did guess Kelly, green, with gold hardware. Congratulations on your beautiful bag! I too am a Grace Kelly fan which is why I have a Van Cleef and Arpels problem. I think this bag looks amazing on you!
Liza petty I know, we were so close ;)
Love that bag how do you get luxury items at are good price ?
Such a gorgeous bag! I just posted an Hermes unboxing vid but it’s the complete opposite LOL - mine is the cheapest item from Hermes 🤗 One day I hope to have a Kelly but in the meantime I’ll enjoy your videos! Thank you so much for sharing 💞🤗
So love your bag 💖💖💖 The color is so gorgeous and classy 💖💖💖 Your husband ‘s aura of being sincere as well as you touched the SA that’s why you scored it 💖🙏🏻Thanks much for sharing and Stay lovely and Fab ! 💖
That color suits you so well. Gorgeous bag, such elegance and class all wrapped up in that 35 kelly. Congrats!
thank you so much lovely ❤️
Can you do a comparison video? Showing the difference in sizes?
Deborah Wild yes will do in the future lovely. First up will be k25 vs k28 as I promised that first but definitely I will make it a series :)

Very nice Classic bag Mel. I love iT!😃❤️🤩
Hi Mel!!! That's awesome that your hubby was able to get it!! Its beautiful & looks AMAZING on you definitely doesn't look big! Wear it in good health 💝💝💝💝💋💋
Congrats on your new bag Mrs. Mel! The new bag gives such a classy look. Maybe you may want to name her as Grace? Since carrying it makes you look graceful and you remember Grace Kelly when you thinking of buying it :)
Natascha L maybe or Caroline given she was the baby Grace didn’t want to reveal to the press too early ;)
@@Skyebright1 yas, you're right! I like the name Caroline too :)
It's a gorgeous bag Mel!!!🤩🤩🤩 it's not that big on you, it fits you perfectly! The color of the leather and the hardware is perfect!💗
Congrats so much!! 👏👏 was really excited to see what your hubby got for u!! What a lucky exprience u had in Hermes Prague. Im really excited, happy for u! It looks perfect for u, size-wise! Watched all your European vlogs!! I love love it! ❤ more travels and bags in the future, Love! Btw, drooling over your bag! 😄 -love, Fritzie
Oh my goodness, I love that bag! It's my favourite shade of green. I am not surprised at all. Congratulations!
Since I read the title, I'm not sure how or why but I knew it was a green bag. The only difference I thought it was a Birkin. Your husband is super lucky to and congratulations to you on another bag Mel. You are so sweet and humble. Sending you lots and lots of love😘🤗🎉
Shamiqua Fileen aww you are too sweet! Sending much love right back xo
That Kelly is stunning! And the twilly looks amazing against the Vert Cyprus!

What a gorgeous colour!!
That color is soooooooo gorgeous! It looks very elegant. I am a huge fan of this color! And i think this color is really a hard to find. Very beautiful purchase Mel! Sure it’s gonna look great on you! ❤️🙌🏼
I was waiting for this video desperately! Congratulations Mel, what a beautiful bag❤️
love how your eyeshadow colour matches with the bag!
安哥拉 thank you for noticing hehe 💚
Oh Mel I am so excited for you ! This is truly the most heavenly bag and looks divine on you. The colour is gorgeous and very sheek. It is so you and I am thrilled that you chose it. I love this size bag on you and is perfect. The combination is absolute perfection. You look so elegant wearing it. I am so excited for you - yay!!!!!!!!!! I am thinking Chesky for a name as in Chesky Krumlov in Prague which you featured so beautifully . I feel like I have just purchased this bag myself !!!!! - I am so thrilled for you !!!!!!❤️
I love this Hermès bag ....Beautiful color ..... Can u do a comparison of all the Hermès bags u have and some iconic ones .... sizes leather etc
it looks like midnight green color from the iphone omg!!
love ur new bag mel!
u should name it after ur fav place in prague! or just name it Ms Prague xoxo
Yes that's a good description. It's a really really dark forest green or midnight green like you said. Thank you for the name suggestion too! xo
mel tells her stories very well! i didn't realize the whole video was just her talking until more than halfway through because her words had me envision the whole story!
Love the Kelly bag and that is a beautiful colour. Well done hubby! 😂👏🏻
Congrats!
I was in Prague in August and browsed inside Hermès for 10 minutes till I sensed I found an SA who had a kind aura. A few came up to us to offer help and we politely declined. May I venture to to guess that your SA’s name was S - - -??
She was the loveliest person.
She told me to come back the next day as they had no bags but she wasn’t sure they would have any the next day as well.
She wasn’t even going to be there but said her colleague would help me. They offered me a black, Togo, Birkin 30 with rose gold hardware! We were shocked and grateful. The new SA told me that S- - - insisted the day prior that if I were to return, this bag was to get offered to me. I’m so grateful!!
It was my first bag at the time.
S- - - and I built up a rapport and after watching your video, I can’t help but think you also worked with her.
I was with my husband and kids.
Your bag is gorgeous. Enjoy!!
Oh my goodness! Yes you are right! That's her! I am so glad to hear you had such a lovely experience as well. Yay.... I am absolutely thrilled for you too, how perfect a B30 black with rghw, that is just beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your story, I think many others will enjoy reading it. As we know with Hermes...its all a bit of a mystery and you just never know what can happen! :) x
You totally scored with this one! Vert cypress is one of my favorite colors from Hermes.
What a beautiful bag, Mel, congratulations! The colour is amazing against the gold hardware. The Fendi bag is cute too but that Kelly bag will never date. My dad was a big fan of Grace Kelly as well. We went to Monaco on a trip to Europe before he passed just because of that:) It's such a beautiful place. I think I'm going to add a Kelly bag to my wish list now.❤
Was waiting for you to reveal the bag you got. This bag suits you really well. Happy for you 😁
I think the size is perfect! Love it and congrats Mel❤️
Love this Mel ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely gorgeous bag and color! Would love to see how you pack it and what fits! Thanks for sharing Mel!
Mel, I just found your channel last night and I am binge watching as many videos of yours as I can. You are so down to earth and just seem so nice. I love your story times on how you and now your hubby acquire these gorgeous bags.
Omg..♥️♥️♥️ the color is 👌👌
Congrats, Mel! The color of your Kelly is stunning! I think the size is absolutely perfect for you. Enjoy it!
Mel ... my daughters are six and ten and we’ve been following u for a while and we loooooveee you. We’ve watched all ur videos and we’re definitely some of ur biggest fans !! My daughters hv made a video showing all my bags ... just the way you do. We love you ... take care Mel
I have to ask. Why do you hold it with the clasps dangling down? I see everyone carry this bag open and not put together. I see Grace Kelley held it closed and really curious why they all appear open.
Gorgeous bag😍😍😍 Big Congrats 🎊 🎊🎊🎉🎉
Exactly happened to me. I went Hermes Milan and was given terrible service when I asked if certain leathers are easily scratched and she replied “real leathers get scratched. Unavoidable “ she kinda twitch her eyebrows (showing her annoyance). But I went to different level and was given a very good service with a younger sales associate.
whats that fuzzy fendi bag called??
Wow!!! Congratulations and happy anniversary to both of you! The bag is absolutely stunning on you! The size looks amazing 💕
how to bring back all of your hauls?
Congratulations! I am a little impatient with the small bag mania! I like small bags as much as anyone else but a good collection should have a mix of big and small! Thank you for the video.
Gorgeous bag!! Mel - can u please share how u ship those large boxes home when u shop abroad? Do u put them into another box so they don’t get damaged?
Gorgeous! Big bags are coming back in! Lol haha
blackchickadee1 they sure are!! Even if they aren't I'll still rock them hehe
Great video. May I please know which camera do you use?
Zahir Navrozally sure it's a Canon 80D :)
"crazy horse lady" and you put horse emoji on your face 😂
By the way it's doesn't look big at all, it's look really good on youu 😍
mirnanad here gotta make fun of myself sometimes hehe Thank you my dear I thought it was going to look huge but in reality it really isn’t that big and glad you love the size on me too xx
Happy anniversary! What an awesome story!
Amazing Mel! Woohoo good job Mel’s hubby! Haha! I actually never considered a 35 kelly but after seeing it on you, you’re right it doesn’t look that big, maybe because of it being a retourne shape it’s more a relaxed feel instead of a sellier shape. 🙌 🥰👍💚👏
This color is STUNNING! Such a gorgeous chameleon. I am so glad you grabbed this, it is a beauty!!!!!!!
Hi! Mel, lucky you to get one Kelly bag in unexpected surprise😍! Or maybe your husband is your lucky star! 🤔😉😄💑
Wow!super beautiful!happy for you and hubby!another additional Hermes in your luxury bag family!
Enjoy your Hermes Kelly Gold!
Again happy Anniversary 💙🎂💙
Hey Mel do you still have this bag if so could you do a comparison between the Kelly 32 and 35 because I would love to see the differences because I have 35 size but really want the 32 just afraid it won’t hold enough. Thanks so much and this bag is beautiful love the color!
It’s stunning Mel congrats!!! Such a beautiful shade of green
Thanks Samantha x
