I have a Kelly 28 in black gw Togo leather. I use it every single day, I’m contemplating on getting rid of my other bags because I rarely use them. I don’t baby it at all. One day it’ll look like Mary Kate olsen’s 😂 which I’m looking forward to. But her’s is box leather right? I love that look.
The combination of your Kelly is so beautiful, I'm a total kelly person. K25 retourne is my most user friendly H bag and I find the K28 super useful when I can't downsize enough for these smaller bags but I get that they're not for everyone. I hope that it stays in your collection but I'm totally biased. 🙋🏽♀
It’s a beautiful bag and a keeper for sure. Some bags I use less but I’m always telling myself that who knows if these bags will become my favorites in the future. I have Birkins and one Kelly. I’ve got the Kelly recently but I always knew deep down that I am a Birkin girl. I have the Kelly sellier because as much as I like the relax look on a Birkin, I prefer the more structure look on a Kelly. I think, like you, my Kelly won’t be my most used bag but it will stick with me. I’m at the end of my collection in term of quota bags because I use my non quotas so much more, it’s just how it is for me. I feel fortunate to have these bags, I wanted them so much and I always smile when I look at them, even if they are not the most practical.
Thank you so much for your comments. They really resonated with me and I feel the same way about my non quota bags. I think there might be a video idea here, too. Thanks again!💜
Lisa, this was so helpful!! I feel like I need to know firsthand whether I’m a Birkin girl or a Kelly girl and it seems there’s only one way to do it 😂😂😂but I’m not in a huge rush! I’m still catching my breath from my April madness!!! 😅❤Thank you for this great video.
This is a beautiful bag. The color goes with a lot. I will carry some bag more one your and the next year I rotate different bags. I don't have a Kelly bag. I really love the hot pink mini pochette. Sooo pretty.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the bag and I don’t regret getting it. I just need to figure out more ways to incorporate it into my life. I think I really need to order a strap from Etsy so I have a crossbody option.
Thank you for the review! It is one of the bags I’m considering to put in my wishlist. I love the colour on your Kelly! By the way, I noticed that you are wearing the Van Cleef Alhambra pendant and I’m thinking of adding it to my collection too :) I would appreciate if you could do a review of the necklace in the future. Thank you!
I’ve got the black kelly 28 retourne Gold hardware and love it. The sellier is gorgeous but too fussy and tooo formal For the prices of these bags we need to use them. I am team birkin but I have a 28/32/35 kelly 😂😂 all retourne my special order bag I place in December was a birkin 30 again. Purely because I want to use her and get my cost per wear.
@@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle you could even add a extender and wear the extender to the back to keep the cost down or buy a etsy one to try xx I tend to hand carry mine with the straps hanging just for show lol xx
The ideal length of the strap should be 95cm !! Unfortunately as you say they do a standard 85cm. Only special orders can have 105cm. But then it is slightly longish ….
Lol! Your response on whether you would would buy it again looked like you were forcing yourself to say yes. Your body language was a lot more certain with the Birkin than the Kelly. Is the YES more bc of the brand and what it takes to get one or YES bc you really like the bag? Your stretched YES response seemed like how you were when you were on the fence with the mono side trunk video. Lol Love your videos! I just got the side trunk in black leather! Take care
Melanie you bring up some great points. I almost cut that part out of the video but I thought it was important for everyone to see my genuine reaction. I actually hadn’t thought about it before. I’m going to get a crossbody strap to see if that helps me where it more. If not, then it may go up for sale.
In a small size, probably yes. But I’m probably not the best person to ask as I’ve only used mine a handful of times and I’m considering selling mine. I’ve discovered I’m definitely a birkin girl 💜
Last year I sold a bunch of my handbags and got back a good amount of money from my lux purchases. Every time I look at Hermes bags (the trifecta) I think "Nah, none of them speak to me!" I never actually got to touch any of these or try one on, but I just don't know if any work with my lifestyle. My Chanel double flap in Medium is already sitting in my closet most of the year untouched, I don't want that to happen to yet another bag that costs me $$$$$.
I don’t think you will buy it again, I wish you made it clear why. This is on my wish list. I had three appointments in Paris within a year but still haven’t been offered one 😢.
Honestly I don’t really know why I haven’t used it much. I just received a crossbody strap do I’m hoping that will help. I’m sorry you haven’t had good luck in Paris. Fingers crossed you get an offer soon 💜
I'm sorry Lisa I have to correct you, you're missing an "É" at the end of your return. I know in english diacritical accents are rarely used so basically no one writes the name of this bag as it should be written so it goes over almost anyone who doesn't speak french heads but this style is called "retourné" not "retourne" meaning is "flipped (inside out)" instead of just "flip" so pronouncing that final E is very important.
This is the size and style that I’ve been contemplating. Thank you for such a thorough review. It helped me decide to proceed. ❤
Glad I could help!

@@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle Yah!!!! I’m glad it gives you an idea for a video. Have a wonderful day!

So glad. And yes, I don’t think you can know without owning both. They’re both incredible bags!!💜
@@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle Now I just need to figure out which size. 🤔I’m definitely into a fun color, like a blue or pink!!
@Pooka505 they have the most beautiful colors!
This is a beautiful bag. The color goes with a lot. I will carry some bag more one your and the next year I rotate different bags. I don't have a Kelly bag. I really love the hot pink mini pochette. Sooo pretty.
Thank you! Definitely keeping her for now.
Great review and honest insights on the Kelly! Personally, I love the Kelly, but it does have it's drawbacks sometimes!

Hope it helped you. My necklace isn’t a VCA, it’s just a dupe I bought from a website years ago. Sorry I can’t help you with that.
Beautiful bag! The grey shade is so pretty. Hopefully you end up using it more 🤎😘
Me, too!
Love it! What is the exact color of your K28?
It’s Gris Meyer
Your Kelly is absolutely gorgeous!!! I would totally keep it 😊
Thank you!💜
I did not see the links for the organizers. Is there a video that goes over the different organizers?
Yes, I did a video comparing 4 different organizer brands about a year ago

How exciting that you did an SO!! I’m going to order a crossbody strap and see if that helps me use the Kelly more often. 💜

@preidie oh I’m definitely ordering from Etsy. I think what Hermes charges for a strap is ridiculous!
Beautiful bag! Love love ❤
Thank you!💜

I don’t mid the strap length for shoulder carry. I just wish it was longer and adjustable so it could accommodate more ways to carry.
Lol!

Hello! Do you consider the Kelly to be a good everyday bag?
In a small size, probably yes. But I’m probably not the best person to ask as I’ve only used mine a handful of times and I’m considering selling mine. I’ve discovered I’m definitely a birkin girl 💜
@@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle I want to love the Birkin but I struggle with it not having a shoulder strap. Thanks for your reply!
@-AutumHall then definitely go for the Kelly!💜
You can give it to me hun 🙏🏻 I agree with you that it doesn’t suit your style at all. Kelly 28 is gonna look great on me 😮
😂🤣😂

I totally understand. It’s the worst feeling seeing thousands of dollars sitting on your shelf. 💜
Your gray Kelly with the gold hardware is PERFECTION , I would never sell it if it were mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤗
It is perfection!! And for now, it’s not going anywhere. Need to give it some more time.
I don’t think you will buy it again, I wish you made it clear why. This is on my wish list. I had three appointments in Paris within a year but still haven’t been offered one 😢.

Thanks for letting me know. I’ve heard it pronounced both ways so now I know
#lvguci Bolsa réplica 1:1 con imagen reflejada, resistente y resistente al desgaste. Me gusta mucho.
Um absolutely not❤❤
For sure not now. I will give it more time and try to use it more. 💜
Thank you dear for taking us along. Can't wait what the @ *lvguci* queen picked up at Fendi
