My number one reason to not to buys any of Hermès bags is that I don’t have that kind of money 💰. 😂

[@IsabellesStyle]

Lol! It is definitely way too much money😂😂

[@oooohmysoooosexy]

[@BellsRing]

Thank you so much for this video.. I've been interested in the Kelly but you helped me realize I could not handle that closure system. LOVE your videos! ❤️ 👜

Yeh the closure is pretty fiddly! Thanks for watching hun😍

[@BruceEddington]

Such GREAT comparisons! Allllll soooo lovely! Especially the *yutulux* tote. Their styles are so chic, sleek, elegant and understated! 😍

[@yin8603]

Appreciate your honest sharing Isabelle... while we all know that this is definitely a Hermes classic, it's really not the easiest bag to match/ use.

[@Eyecandy21]

Thank you for sharing your honest opinion. It’s good to know cons of these bag as everyone always raves about them. But still I love your Kelly bag in magnolia ,such a beautiful color 😍

[@IsabellesStyle]

Thanks babe! The magnolia is such a stunning colour and I just love it😍😍

[@asiansapphire]

damn i almost pulled the trigger! this is so informative! thank u! saved me money

[@ricecake5407]

Hi Isabelle. As I was watching you mentioning the strap on the Kelly. A Kelly belt came to my mind. 😂 I think it wound be a great concept to use the Kelly belt as a strap for longer or shorter lengths versus having a buckle to adjust the strap. That way is kind of hidden and won’t ruin the aesthetic of the look.

[@kit6328]

great contents as always!!!💗 for some reason, I am not Kelly or Birkin fans, but I would take mini Kelly at any given time.

[@IsabellesStyle]

The mini Kelly is my favourite too😍 thanks for watching hun🥰

[@nikineal69]

I bought a Kelly 25 today. Thank you for the information.

[@ccie8305]

Thanks for the great video! I would LOVE the full story on why you chose the K28 and then resold it. I have told my SA that I want that exact bag. Would love to hear your full story Isabelle. 😊

[@IsabellesStyle]

I will definitely go into more detail on why I didn’t keep it in a future video but in short, the condition of the bag was not what I expected and I realised I didn’t need a larger Kelly for my lifestyle at the time. I’m totally open to getting a k28 in the future but for now, the smaller sizes suit my lifestyle better☺️

[@ccie8305]

Thanks Isabelle. Looking forward to your video.

[@angelaontheroad2512]

You are right about the back pocket and that is the great feature of the Her bag which is the casual sister of the Kelly! And also the strap length, they could use the same system they have for the Kelly belt…no hardware involved… thanks for your videos ;-))

[@IsabellesStyle]

I love the Her bag! The Kelly belt mechanism would be great actually, but not sure how much weight it will be able to hold🤔 Thanks for watching babe🥰

[@sunnycali1294]

Great video Isabelle! I agree with the cons of the Kelly but I still love it! 😂 Love your top!

[@IsabellesStyle]

Thanks babe. I know, we still love them 😂

[@melanieh7142]

Beautiful bags but great points! I love your Hermes top here as well 🙂

[@IsabellesStyle]

Aw thank you so much Melanie🥰

[@audreychen5210]

It's so well said Isabelle 😍 I have a K25 sellier and a mini k, and I used my mini K way more than the k25. I would be looking forward to k25 retourne and hopefully it will ve more friendly. But generally, my B25 sellier has not been disappointing. So maybe I'm more a B than a K girl. Thank you for sharing... love your videos!!

[@IsabellesStyle]

Totally agree babe! The mini kelly is such a usable bag😍 I also don’t really use my k25 sellier much but the retourne is definitely much easier to wear and style! The B25 is still on my wishlist, sellier or retourne, I’ll be happy with either😆🤩

[@joyvillavicencio3501]

You look so chic in all your Kelly bags! It’s such a beautiful and classic bag on you 🥰

[@IsabellesStyle]

Thank you babe😆

Thank you Isabelle, for such an hi est video. I just got my First Hermes bag, Birkin 25 Gold with Gold HW, togo. Ofc Im obsessed so I am shooting for a Kelly next, but you have pointed out some great things that are now making me rethink this pick 😅

[@lisaracanelli8406]

Hi Isabelle, Thank you for the video. I definitely would love both a Birkin and Kelly bags. The leather is so scrumptious. But with the price points and the infamous games you have to play I just don’t think I would be able snag either in my lifetime. But they are beautifully made and so luxurious! Have a great weekend. Lisa

[@KellyLQL]

Isabelle, thanks for your candid sharing. But, I still love all your Hermes Kelly bags. They are good investment bags which will hold their value well over many years to come.

[@Seemstobereal]

Great video..I wonder why we crave these bags lol

[@IsabellesStyle]

I know right?🙈😂

[@lanafeulner4083]

I purchased the Picotin 18 in Gold with Palladium hardware and could not be happier! It's Hermes without the "look" but the same quality!! It's very easy to access and has a great look. It's more for casual wear, but I find casual is what most people are into these days. How many days do you wear a business suit? I can't think of the last time I did this!! For those casual wearers, like myself, this is the perfect bag. It's also much safer when it comes to someone wanting to rob you since it is understated. Just my opinion.

[@mariaau1182]

Oh wow I’m surprised the capacity of the kelly bag is the same as a small CF. I love all your Kelly bags though especially the mini Kelly ♥️

[@IsabellesStyle]

The Kelly 25’s especially in the sellier really don’t fit much! And you definitely don’t want to over-stuff it!😅 My favourite and most used Kelly is the mini Kelly, to my surprise😍

[@valeryzee]

Great points! I have a Ferragamo Iconic top handle in medium that I absolutely adore but also too large for evening events and too formal for my everyday casual daywear…. I still love it though. How do you plan to utilise your white Kelly more often? Or do you not have any plans to use it more often?

[@sheaubinchua9508]

"Difficult to access" is already a straight No for a bag, its meant to be used and not for decoration 😆 thanks for the honest review !

[@HJ60123]

Loved this video! It's rare to come across a video that talks about the cons of the Kelly in such an honest way. ;) I'm trying to decide on my next quota bag and was hoping you could advise me. If you had a choice between a K25 sellier or retourne, which would you choose? Thanks!

[@premeyumlife443]

All great points my lady. ❤️🍊😘😘😘Sandy

[@jcchong8238]

Like the video. Curious - if and when your SA offers you other Birkin & Kelly - will you still add to your collection ? For your special order Kelly, any reason/s why you did not include a back pocket or request for an adjustable shoulder strap ? Just curious.

[@iamjulia9458]

Lol, despite all the "cons" you mentioned about the Kelly, I'm sure many of us including myself still love the classic style and yeah, a back pocket would be so handy. The sellier gives a more formal classic look while the roturne style is more casual. 😬😅 Not the most useful or easy to use bags and so why are we paying the hefty price for it? 🤔

[@IsabellesStyle]

I know right?😂 we still love them, we must be crazy🤣

[@iamjulia9458]

@@IsabellesStyle 🤷‍♀️🙃😂😂

[@rhondafrazier8205]

Thanks for a great video. Which preloved store should I look at for a Kelly in your option. I have never bought preloved before. I’m afraid of fakes, inflated prices and poor descriptions of the bags. Thanks so much.

[@TyroneKelly-yl3is]

The variety of textures in the *yutulux*t pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

[@Buttercookiesssss]

Birkin and Kelly are more like work bags to me... Understated and the top handle feels formal. Its hard to use like u mentioned too for kelly. In fact all single handle with flap bags are hard to use. Same for coco handle and trendy cc

[@IsabellesStyle]

I agree, the single too handle flap bags are definitely not very user-friendly! Thanks for watching babe💕

[@mamonja2215]

I do love kelly however it’s so troublesome to fidget w/ all the straps. Difficult to get into quickly, as you have to set it someplace so you can open it. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😄 😝 I always enjoyed watching your vlog. 🤍 Stay beautiful, Isabelle 🌸 Cheers.

[@IsabellesStyle]

Definitely! So fidgety! Thank you for watching my vlogs, means so much🥰🥰

[@dragamboazulinqiacupuntura122]

Yeah I don't feel that the Kelly is too formal for day. Perhaps because I have a retourné. I do think it's not formal enough for a formal occasion but honestly I don't attend formal events often so I usually wear a clutch for evening formal events

[@haiji1996]

I love my Kelly but I wish it had a back pocket too, and I do admit it's not very convenient to get in and out of. I find the LV Capucines more convenient to use--I guess it's been designed for more modern women. The Kelly was iconically used by Grace Kelly, but her daughter in law, Charlene, the present Princess of Monaco, wears the Capucines. I think that symbolizes a change in generation and modernization. But I have enjoyed travelling to Monaco and loved visiting the places related to Grace Kelly, so the Kelly has a special meaning for me. I think it looks elegant and lady-like like none other. Especially the sellier type.

[@denisecaruana1515]

Isabelle, I thought that you was going to say that once you buy your first bag you get addicted to buy more 🤣 Apart from my joke you really nailed it. Thanks

[@IsabellesStyle]

Hahaha that is definitely a big con😂

[@suzannehall5200]

This was good. I love the Kelly. True it’s a very formal, mature bag but I am a grown up so that’s ok. With the capacity I think you needed to qualify that the 25 doesn’t hold much. That’s not true for all of them. I looked at a 32 once and it holds heaps. All my essentials, which is a lot, with plenty of room to spare.

[@IsabellesStyle]

I do still love the Kelly despite all the cons😆😅 I agree, the capacity will be much better on the larger sizes, even the 28 fits a lot more for sure. Thanks so much for watching Suzanne💕

[@Kate_Mnl]

The top 3 cons of the Kelly for me are its price, availability and opening. However, I would still gladly get a Kelly if I have the money and opportunity to buy one.

[@lifewithcctran4414]

I agree with all three reasons...same. But, I still love the Kelly

[@Kate_Mnl]

@@lifewithcctran4414 LOL, same! 😊

[@ImenBen12]

Same! The worst for me is availability! Buying so much unnecessary things to "potentially" be offered a Kelly, and maybe not your first choice, is frustrating! Unless of course you have H luck your way.

[@Kate_Mnl]

@@ImenBen12 Yes, availability is the worst and most frustrating!

[@IsabellesStyle]

Those are definitely serious cons! But I do still like my Kellys too😆

[@bostonandbeyondfrenchbulld7335]

Great video! Is the pink color Magnolia? What color is the twilly? They look great together.

[@IsabellesStyle]

Yes! It is magnolia! The twilly is in navy/blue/white colourway, it really brings out the purple undertones in the magnolia which I love😍

[@giainto5564]

I found that my capacity for Kelly bag is ideal and a lot larger than Chanel CF. But perhaps it’s because I have size 28 rather than 25.

[@ClaraZeela]

How can you NOT buy a Kelly, OMG they all still look SOOO stunning on. you! hahaha, still love them all !!

[@IsabellesStyle]

Hahaha yes I still love them all despite all the cons😂😆 and love your Kellys too, they are stunning😍😆

[@stuartmaybe1745]

Since you have both K25, (Sellier and Retourne), which one little easier to use ???

[@kayleebristow1511]

Hi Isabelle, are you going to do a bag collection for 2022??? Let me know.

[@kayleebristow1511]

Honestly I don’t understand the appeal of the Kelly and Birkin bags. I appreciate the craftsmanship and amazing leathers, but to me they look like overpriced, impractical old lady bags. Each to their own though!

Hi Isabelle what color bottoms are you wearing with the Hermès sweater in this video? I am really curious thanks

[@IsabellesStyle]

It’s actually a sweater dress😆 but if it was a top, I would totally wear it with beige chino pants, white pants or even burnt orange colour leather skirt😍

[@IsabellesStyle]

Awwwww she is so adorable! Please say hi back to her for me🥰🥰🥰 made my day😍💞

[@Joelswinger34]

The way you have to keep it closed with that fiddly turn lock just seems so annoying. And why not give it two straps so it's not just hanging open when you open it? I bought a bag that had one handle and hung open like that for a trip. It was a pain and I never used it again.

[@anastasiaromanov3737]

i never find the Hermes bags appealing except the Constance

[@Catnat739]

Do u prefer sellier over retourne ? Seems like sellier holds its shape better than retourne over time . A Kelly bag is beautiful but I think chanel looks more dressy as an evening bag. Love your Hermes outfit .. I think I saw this dress somewhere in the website when browsing 🥰

[@IsabellesStyle]

I actually thought I would prefer the sellier but I am surprised that I find retourne more my style! But it’s a tough choice as I still do really like the sellier too😆 I do love my Hermes dress, thanks babe! 🥰

[@sarah0098]

If you could only have one out of mini Kelly 20 black GHW or Kelly 25 sellier black GHW, which do you think would be the most useful all-rounder? I have asked for 25 but maybe I should ask for mini Kelly too??? I intend to use it as a ‘date night’ bag and fit phone, card holder, LV key pouch & lipstick. It confuses me how the mini Kelly and K25 sellier appear to fit the same amounts from what’s in my bag videos 🤔

[@clare2272]

Isabelle always says her Mini Kelly is her favourite! But it's a personal choice, everyone's different x

[@sarah0098]

@@clare2272 thank you!

[@IsabellesStyle]

I definitely use my mini Kelly the most! But you really have to downsize what you carry in the bag. It will probably be enough for date nights. Oh the k25 sellier fits a lot more for sure😅 good luck on your decision babe💕

I’m not willing to drive 30-40 mins to the nearest Hermes to “develop a relationship” with a SA. I feel it’s a sign of a larger issue if I am willing to waste time and gas on that. If someone is not willing to take my $$, I will spend it elsewhere where the SAs are knocking each other for my business

love the look of a Kelly! but it‘s not for me; at least not a new one. the closure and the handle pulling on the top flap would annoy me to no end. back pockets with zippers rub against clothes and can ruin them, so i avoid that too. love your craie Kelly! if i do end up getting a Kelly, it would be old and beat up so then i would not mind the wear and tear. love your videos 💗
