[@missepicure_sg]

😍😍😍 the bag is as cool and chill as you are. love your vibes.

[@ziyistylebook]

Hahahah thank you 😂🤍🤍🤍

[@FeisReality]

Totally agree with you, your bag is so beautiful and I love the combination, it is so chic and classy at the same time. I have the same combination but in a Constance and love using it!😍🖤

[@ziyistylebook]

Thank you 🤍🤍🤍 box leather is so gorgeous! So chic in a Constance as well!

[@lillylilly3471]

Thank you for the detailed review. Heritage leathers are truly special, I feel box leather looks more luxurious than exotics 😂

[@ziyistylebook]

Hahaha I feel the same and my SA agrees 🤍 box leather in particular shines like no other!

[@cristinah3632]

Sharing the same opinion like you, Hermés has such nice colours I never wanted a black bag but I made an exception. I bought a Kelly 32 in box leather from 2000 and I love it. The shine is beautiful and I totally agree, Epsom is quite dull in black. I fell in love with the elegant shine of the box leather and my bag has brushed palladium hardwear which I adore. It was love at first sight with this bag 😍

[@ziyistylebook]

Amazing! So rare to find one with brushed palladium hardware 🤍 must be gorgeous!

The sheen on box leather is so beautiful. I love your bag jade! I have got a K25 in chamkila chevre, which is nearly as shiny!!! What do you do if you are caught in the rain while using her? Do you use the rain cover provided or an alternative?

[@ziyistylebook]

Hey Sarah! I usually hide mine under my coat or sometimes I take a big foldable bag with me in case of emergency. But I always check the weather forecast and avoid using my box weather if there’s even 1% chance of rain 😂 the damage is not reversible.

[@cap4life1]

I love box leather! Mine got scratched not too long after I got it 😂 Buffing it out helped. Thanks for this comprehensive review!

[@ziyistylebook]

Oh no 😂 it will fade with time as well! Thanks for watching 🤍

[@meld258]

I love my box leather. I have k28 and k32 both in box. I am 5’6” and they aren’t too big for my frame

[@ziyistylebook]

Amazing 🤍 I’m a small bag girl so the biggest I can carry around all day would be a k25 😂

[@meld258]

@@ziyistylebook I am small bag girl too 😂 but I found these on resale market with good price I couldn’t pass up! I have MK, K25. And my fav size is K25. While I love MK just for vanity 🤣

[@alexandraschmiermann252]

Got distracted by your babies on the background 😻 Such a beautiful shine on the box leather. Hopefully I’ll have the nerve soon to wear my Constance.

[@ziyistylebook]

Hahah the babies are so cute aren’t they 😂 hope you enjoy your Constance lot!

[@jwmiller2986]

This is really helpful! Can you also please review the exotic leathers? Especially the crocs? I really like shiny croc, but I don’t know how delicate are they really.

[@450Dufferin]

Need to be careful with oils. I stupidly stained my Himalayan croc after getting a "complimentary" hand massage at La Prairie; it was the most expensive freebie I've ever gotten. Luckily most of the stain was removed with Saphire Reptile cream. *face palm* The basics are that shiny gets matte and matte gets shiny with wear. Pale colours in croc also yellow with time (whites gain a warm tone over time). The main advantage of croc is that it is very lightweight so even bigger bags aren't a pain to carry. Ostrich can discolour horribly / unevenly from exposure to the sun. Lizard needs routine lotion application as it dries out very quickly.

[@ziyistylebook]

Exactly! You know your stuff 🤍 I don’t think I would ever purchase a shiny croc because it’s really delicate and will loose its shine overtime.

[@450Dufferin]

re: shiny croc I will be finding that out soon as my most recent bag is a mix of fuchsia and blue porosus. Hopefully not too delicate. :S

[@maryama8998]

Omg second dream bag

[@annenghaktei5556]

Beautiful bag. When u talked about other leather, I heard you say “epson” 7:23 leather, is it epson or “epsom”?

[@ziyistylebook]

It’s epsom 🤍 the most common leather for Hermes are epsom and togo!

[@xthluxury]

I heard it 3x too

[@churroros]

Hi! I'd love to know how you keep the hardware so pristine looking!

[@ziyistylebook]

Oh there are plenty of scratches on them 😂 I just use microfibre cloth for eyewear to clean them!

[@tangelaturner1262]

Hello, My SA ask me today if I’m interested in a box leather purse. I heard you mention the box leather is more expensive than the Epsom in K25 . Can you share a price range of how much more.

[@ziyistylebook]

I don’t know how much a kelly 25 in box leather costs now, but at the time of purchase (2022) it was €2500ish more than epsom!

[@christophers.3978]

Beautiful box Kelly! Do you know how it would fair in humid weather?

[@ziyistylebook]

Humidity is fine but not direct liquid or water on the box leather. Humility tends to affect the hardwares more than the leather (tarnish faster). Just make sure it’s well ventilated and don’t keep the bags in the box!

[@christophers.3978]

@@ziyistylebook Thank you for your message! Agree that the box leather makes the bag look much more luxurious!

[@andreaa898]

I have a Birkin 30 touch, alligator, my SA told me to keep it in the box. Should I not? Also, I’m still working on a mini Kelly in box for special occasions per your recommendation 🤞🏼

[@ziyistylebook]

From personal experience it is better to just keep it in its dust bag without the box 🤍 alligator is more sensitive to humility and light so I would always keep mine away from direct sunlight or moonlight. Hope you get your mk in box leather soon!

[@schoiful]

Thoughts on the Fauve Barenia?

[@ziyistylebook]

Personally not a fan but others love it! I don’t love how it patina and change overtime 🤍

[@trishevans64]

I have Fauve Barenia B30 for 3 years, it’s beautiful and I love it 😅

[@hasna.h1137]

Hi may i know what is the price for this bag ? By the way you are so beautiful 😻

[@ziyistylebook]

Hello 🤍 bought this in 2022 and it was €10,100. Should be a little bit higher now as there’s been price increases. Box leather is a little bit more pricy than regular epsom/togo 🥰
