HERMES KELLY 25 REVIEW & DIAMOND JEWELRY | Overview, Pros & Cons, Thoughts | Kat L

[@Lifeisbeautiful-ri2tb]

Your Kelly is a stunner….it is a timeless classic. Thank you for going over the cons. You look radiant today and your lip color is 🔥 Your Birkin is my favorite bag in your collection but this one is a close second ♥

[@kklvoescc]

I was the same as you. I loved the Birkin but I found myself grabbing the Kelly all the time and really not reaching much for the Birkin. And I’m not sure why that was. All I can say is I am now a total Kelly girl. Great review Kat!

[@KatL]

Kelly girl!!!!!!

[@viv952]

Hi Kat, I bought the exact same bag in Dec 21, so price slightly cheaper than now.. It was my first qb, so I cant compare it to a B. I also seldom use it, but when I use it, like you said, the happiness that I feel, cant be replaced by any other item. It's so perfect! 🥰 So no regrets so far...

[@KatL]

Congrats u got it because the 1 Jan price increase!!!! Ahhhh lekekek

[@luxdoclee7026]

Your Gold Kelly is sooo beautiful!!!!! The fussy opening and closing is what’s preventing me from using my sellier K28 also.

[@KatL]

Yea ughhh

[@beckypanda1251]

I have none of the issues you mentioned with my K25 probably bc mine is retourne togo phw and I am 95% casual. At first I wasn't sure knowing most people prefer sellier but after your review, I definitely bought the right bag for me. Thanks Kat for an always honest review! 🫶🏻

[@KatL]

Thank you! I’d love to get a retourne one day ❤️❤️

[@Bestlifemiddleage]

I just got the Kelly 25 retourne and this is THE bag! I will use it a ton and travel with it for sure! My Kelly in sellier doesn’t have the same easy going functionality!

[@monarch6443]

WOW! So detailed and honest. Thank you so much! I love your videos.

[@ckmiffy]

Thank you for this honest review! Honestly so helpful! You may have saved me a lot of money as the cons were so thorough and honest!

[@KatL]

Glad it was helpful!

[@FashionablyAMY]

The Lucia looks stunning babe! And omg I need a Kelly!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@KatL]

Yeaaaaaa ! I love the jewelry!

[@carolinewidjaja8782]

I have K25 & K28 (both are Sellier), and I found that K28 is much much easier to open and close the bag, so that’s why ppl like to carry K28 more to the airport than K25 in terms of more capacity and easier access to the bag. I recently got K25 Sellier in Ostrich, although it isn’t as stiff as Epsom, it’s still hard to open and close the bag.

[@KatL]

Thank you for sharing this insight! Helps me think if I should go for k28 in the future

[@deborahmarlin192]

Gorgeous bag, plus u look so pretty with the red lipstick too!!!!🌺

[@ammmayer]

I remember the time when you said that you’re not suit for Birkin/Kelly yet, like afraid to use it. But seeing you carry it in mod shot, I can not picture you with any other bag than this one. It totally suits you perfectly. You own it.

[@KatL]

Thank you 😍😍😍

[@aniesarangua777]

Thank you for your detailed explanation! I agree that it’s very expensive and not so functional 😅 However, it’s a stunning bag in that exact combination you own: 25 in gold sellier with GHW. Totally worth it and one of my dream bags! 🥰🥰🥰

[@KatL]

Thank you!

[@juzoo233]

The k retourne is very travel friendly heheh

[@kris_tan]

Thank you for such a detailed review of K25. The bag is absolutely stunning 🎒

[@KatL]

Thank you Mama!

[@laelakarimi]

I'm really curious if you would feel the same way in regards to your cons if you got retourne K25.. You should add one to your wishlist!

[@vivistar_1]

Very thorough review as usual you have my dream combo BK bags! They're stunning I believe they're worth the prices - not for materials but for the joyfulness and achievements!

[@ReneeSLiu]

K25's capacity is much smaller than k28 but it's just too cute! Thank you for sharing!

[@KatL]

It is !

[@majanice]

love your review, Kelly sellier is so beautiful! so dressy and truly elevates an outfit! 🥰

[@ladyharriet4136]

Thanks for the review. I have seen many u tubers saying they can definitely get their money back on their BK bags. I am very curious, because there are a lot of listed (inflated) price online, but actually they are not sold at all. If one buy from boutique, need to have around 1:1 ratio on other spend minimum plus actual price of the bag. In order to actually get your money back, need to pay reselling fees (typically around 30%), so at best, you might make a little delta difference ONLY if the bag is pretty pristine. I have a Kelly too, love it, but so many people say they are investment. This is only if you have bought them years ago. They are not to me, the maths don’t add up, plus they are not selling at inflated prices. There are so many around too. ❤ interested to hear any thoughts from others.

[@Vanessa_L]

Love this!!! Thanks for sharing

[@sarah0098]

Such a stunning bag Kat, absolutely beautiful. I take my k25 to the airport all the time, never had any issues! It is a Togo tho, so maybe that makes the difference.

[@KatL]

Interesting!

[@vjloves3107]

I love my Kelly bags and am hoping to get a K25 Sellier towards the end of the year, Fab review Kat!

[@KatL]

Good luck babe!!!

[@chiehtang8246]

Great video totally agree and thanks for sharing😉

[@KatL]

Thanks for watching!

[@KraftyPaws]

Great honest review. This is so helpful! Thank you!

[@KatL]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Seemstobereal]

Love your detailed review

[@JillMaurer]

Such a lovely review Kat. I don't have your exact bag but do have two K28s and two B30s. For me it is worth the price because they are truly bags that I will be happy carrying forever. Being able to get my money back if I ever needed to is a bonus. I'm interested in the K25, and your review was very helpful. Thank you! xoxo

[@sarah0098]

Can I ask you Jill - do you find you get the use out of both of your k28s? I am considering getting a second k25 but wondering if I will get my cost per wear. Do you have 2 completely different colours to go with different outfits? Mine will be (hopefully!) black and I already have Etain

[@JillMaurer]

@@sarah0098 I do! Mine are both neutrals but other than that they are as different from each other as they could be. One is light and one dark. One sellier and one retourne. One gold hardware and one palladium. They are also different leathers. I love and wear them both.

[@KatL]

Love your growing collection , Jill!

[@sarah0098]

@@JillMaurer ok you have convinced me! I ‘need’ another K25 🤣🤣🤣

[@JillMaurer]

@@KatL Thank you!

[@judylao1524]

Thanks for the review! I just sold my K28 Retourne and am a Birkin girl at heart, BUT I do find myself using the K28 more than my Birkin. And the more I use it the more I love it! The only reason I sold it was because I don’t like the look of how the leather pulls around the turn lock area due to the soft Clemence leather. Maybe I will try a K25 Sellier next time. Btw what nail polish are you wearing in this video? It’s so lovely!

[@KatL]

it's Orange Brulee from Hermes :)

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Thank you for the video!

[@chanellovervynguyen3832]

Love the bag 😍😍

[@Seemstobereal]

My dream bag..love it

[@meltluvsluxe952]

The Kelly definitely looks like the right style bag for you.

[@KatL]

Thank you!

[@teddythetinyterrier]

This is a helpful review. I agree the sellier is a more formal bag. I have a kelly on my wishlist but it’s in the retourne style. I’m pretty casual and prefer the unstructured look. This bag looks great on you. A k25 in noir retourne with phw would be my holy grail kelly. I think with regard to whether it’s worth it, i do think so given the craftsmanship and the history of the brand. It’s the bag grace kelly carried. These are handmade and I understand they are harder to make than the Birkin. Even Chanel classics are about the 10k usd and the Birkin and Kelly are not much more. I think when you’re up in this handbag price range and quality you have to just close your eyes and know that what you are purchasing is lifetime bag. A forever bag to cherish. Gold is my favorite color. I’m obsessed with my Goldie. I have her on my dresser bc I can’t hardly believe I own her. I want to just carry it everywhere. Enjoy the bag! Don’t think about the cost. 😄

[@KatL]

Yup. Enjoy the bag!!!!!!

[@thebaggeek]

I think it looks great styled super casual like even a baggy sweatsuit and trainers. I think it would be overly sharp if you were wearing a suit and this bag also. Rebag has ads with a girl wearing a neutral sweatsuit and a sellier etoupe Kelly and it looks so cool,the juxtaposition really highlights the bag ^^

[@evelynng8990]

Yes I have K25 Sellier and B25 both in black and GHW… I prefer the Kelly more though. I got my Kelly 25 in 2020 maybe it was cheaper then. B25 I got it in January this year it was still cheaper than my K25 Sellier in 2020!

[@KatL]

Yea, the K is a bigger dent than the B

[@drdorann]

Like you described in your Kelly review, I found my Lady Dior difficult to get my belongings in and out of. I get really annoyed with bags with cumbersome closures but I agree yours is stunning! Thank you for the review and waiting for Hermes to come out with a "mushroom" leather as I'm vegan!!!! They were supposed to introduce the Victoria bag in this last year but I think with the pandemic it go put on hold. ❤️

[@mbelieve9919]

Of course she is! ❤️

[@ClaraZeela]

LOOOOOOVE this bag and easily maybe my favourite bag from your collection although the b25 is a close hairline second!! Agree with all your thoughts and the Jewellery looks lovely on you! Can't wait to see your Part III !! Looking forward and have a great week!

[@KatL]

U are totally a Kelly girl!

[@luannenguyen3903]

great review leaning towards b25 😊

[@KatL]

Thank you!

[@deebeary]

Red is your color. You look stunning with your lipstick and nail color. Would love to know which brand and color.

[@KatL]

I’ll have to check! Can’t recall now 😅 at first I thought it was Lisa Eldridge but I think it’s Hermes.

[@jiyamulani073]

Pls do mention ur lipstick shade ❤

[@kristak1102]

If you’re reaching for the Kelly more than the Birkin and obviously you love it! I’d say it’s worth it! 😉😁

[@KatL]

Yea 🫣😅🫣😅

[@HJ60123]

Gorgeous Kelly! :) When you wear it with the shoulder strap, are you ever concerned with color transfer? Thanks!

[@KatL]

Thank you. Not really, I am careful and wear lighter coloured clothing and old-jeans…(those that have been washed several times to avoid colour transfer)

[@nmernst]

Beautiful bag. If you get your joy and use from it then it is worth it. That said, it will take some time to get the cost per wear lol 🤣. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@KatL]

Yeah, It will take a lonnggg time to get cost per west 🤣🤣🤣 might need to wear it in bed too lol

[@nasamanithorne2600]

Very good review, for me the cons far outweigh the pros, it was in my radar to get it, now I am not sure.

[@KatL]

It’s a tough choice!

[@LifewithLokie]

Hi Kat!! How i close it i tend to overpull the flap so the turnlock passes through easily! My heart sinks each time it scraps pass the turnlock 😅🤣😅🤣 great review hun! I have yet to own a kelly 25, do u think a retourne k25 is easier to use?

[@KatL]

I think it could be easier ,though I didn’t have an easier time with my k32. But I wonder if it’s because the k32 was so much bigger.

[@karenwmc]

Of course this is worth buying! Think of this as a valuable art piece, not just simply a leather bag :)

[@KatL]

Yea! 😍😍😍

[@gisellemlim]

I think there’s no problem letting us know the price because this is a type of bag we can’t get into a store and ask😅 and to buy preloved we need to know the price of a new.

[@KatL]

Thank you for sharing, and agreed. I shall make it a point to share 😘

[@itz_zephyrx8974]

The price suspense is killing me. LOL. Just spill the price, please 😀 I am looking forward for the B and K comparison. As bag addict, if we are willing to pay for B & K, the price is no longer a factor. Satisfaction and enjoyment is what matters. Beautiful bag. Love it 🥰😍

[@KatL]

I know. It’s just tricky online.

[@maggielim6898]

Hi Kat, are you using any insert for your Kelly? Any recommendation if any ?

[@KatL]

I am using the Samorga insert, it’s good

[@Winwinwin01]

I hv K25 Black Epsom sellier and wish to hv B25 Gold on gold! Haha hope it will come true. I m going to collect mini Evelyne black PHW tmr. Maybe I will try to use it as airport bag. Yah, I hv to say I m so scared if my bag’s corners hit anything 😱. This bag I never use cross body because it is dressy bag.

[@KatL]

Thank you for sharing and congrats!!!!!

[@jo_overjoyeod]

aww babe this bag is so gorgeously you 🤍 not all our favorite bags are 100% practical. mine is the b25R and i know how frustrating it is for some girls to use it with the short handle etc. but we love what we love! and this k25S is an absolute beauty 🥂

[@KatL]

Yea, we love what we love

[@Buttercookiesssss]

Hmm i think i would like a birkin in gold 😁❤️

[@user-fx3fd5cy1z]

And the thin strap is not comfortable at all 😩. So it’s an extra expense and hassle trying to find another strap. And even the 25 in sellier is too big as a crossbody.

[@KatL]

thank you for sharing. Yea, the strap is too thin...!

[@teesquare7627]

too expensive but absolutely worth it. That's the difference between price and worth....

[@KatL]

Yea!

[@israeli_flava]

Are you kidding? I was looking at the date for this video bc you are struggling to say this bag is worth the price? The Chanel maxi CF is 10K.... H K Sellier is SOOOOOOOOOOO WORTH the money! It's only like $1K more than CC now hahahahaha This is the major leagues. YES it's worth every penny.

[@KatL]

I knowwwww! It’s really pricey. I do still cringe when I talk or even think about the price. Relative to sooooo many essential things , this is really silly money 😅🥹

[@israeli_flava]

@@KatL I think after a while I have become numb. Hahahahah you still have some sense !

[@janettezcan4694]

This jewelry is all over KZbin.

[@KatL]

And it’s beautiful!

[@DaniOchannel]

Oh man, my heart would hurt everytime i open the bag! I think it's worth the price cos of the resale value. There's hardly anything on this planet that appreciates like a birkin and kelly (that I'm aware of).

[@Serena_9]

Can I have this gorgeous bag please 🙏🏻

[@KatL]

Lol! It’s really pretty!

[@trishnguyen8098]

Idyl sell fake earrings

[@KatL]

Hi, i don’t think they are fake. It is real gold and they use lab grown diamonds
