In this video, I share WHY I sold my Hermes Kelly bag (a few different reasons), HOW I sold it, and WHAT I'm doing with the money from the sale. I also answer whether or not I'm planning to buy another Kelly (different size/color). I hope you'll find it to be helpful if you're also debating letting one of your bags go! xx
As always, thanks so much for watching!

Hi everyone! I know many of you appreciate knowing when I let go of one of my bags. So in this video, I explain why I decided to sell my Kelly, how I sold it, and what I’m doing with the money from the sale. I also answer the question of whether or not I’ll be buying another Kelly in a different color or size. Enjoy the video! xx

True. Although I declined the other Kelly offer pretty easily. So, I think in this case, I really believed I could make the bag work. I’m glad I tried and now I know, it’s just not for me. I think a lot of times people also keep items that they don’t use simply to retain the right to say they own it. That wasn’t enough reason for me.

Hi Hannah! I really appreciate you sharing your journey with us. I think sometimes you just never know whether the bag is really suitable for you until you try it (like actually using it in various circumstances). In the end, it’s just a bag. You use it, you don’t like it, you rehome it. Nothing goes to waste (in my opinion 😆).

I am not a kelly person either. I had four at one point. Now I have 1 28 and 2 25s. The 25 is much better for small people. I am seriously thinking of parting with the last 28. For me the kelly sweet spot is a kelly 25 in retourne, but definitely I love my birkins more. I have a picotin in gris meyer with phw. I think it looks so much better with phw.I think you did the right thing.

Thank you for your honest opinion. I have always thought Kelly is more user friendly than Birkin, but I am glad to see different perspective. I completely agree on the sellier vs retournè type. For me the B would turn out to be heavy to carry after few minutes, Kelly has the strap, however it is annoying when you have to open. That's why I don't own them anymore. I love that you tested the bag and come to your conclusion and made that decision. I also love that you're honest with yourself and have been able to rationalise the situation and sell it! Well done! 👏😻

Aw yes, it was definitely a good test and learn experience for me! I think the Kelly can work quite nicely for those who enjoy shoulder bags. I’ve learned that for me, it’s either crossbody or crook of the arm… never shoulder and certainly not in the 28 size with its trapezoid shape against my hip. 😂

Love the detail you went into in this video and the fresh perspective offered! Would love to hear a video on how you were able to acquire your Hermes bags- did you have to “play the game” or did you maybe get lucky with a helpful SA that could get you what you were interested without having to spend a certain amount beforehand? Love all your content ❤

I’ve shared a few videos in the past answering all the questions related to my Hermes shopping experience. You can find them in my Hermes playlist. But in a nutshell, I was a relatively slow shopper with Hermes, meaning I bought only what I wanted in small increments over several years starting with jewelry in Paris and then moving on to other items. By the time I was offered my Birkin, I was still below the 1:1 spend ratio that everyone seems to talk about and then a year later I was offered the Kelly. I do believe my experience was based largely on having a good relationship with my SA but more importantly demonstrating that I truly am a fan of the brand itself, not just for the quota bags, and declining other items that didn’t fit my style - that went a long way, I believe. Also I’m based in NYC so generally there will be more inventory - then again, more competition from other clients as well. So I guess it’s all luck in the end? Hope that helps some.

I love bags, but I don't understand the Hermes thing. It is hilarious when people talk about their "journey," which can be translated as a complete waste of money because you are buying a bunch of things you don't need just to get one of the two bags.

To clarify, I I never bought anything just to qualify for a quota bag. If you’ve watched my other Hermes videos, I explicitly share how I’ve declined other items and I was intentionally a “slow” shopper with Hermes for years. So I absolutely agree - no sense in buying anything you don’t want. In this case, I asked for this bag so I thought it only fair to try it out. Lesson learned - it’s just not for me.

I have a luxury bag collection but i don't own any Hermès bags. I wanted to try the style out so i bought a togo leather birkin style bag with no logos. It's very good quality and it also has a sholder strap you can add. (I realize birkins doesn't though) by owning that bag, it has made me realize i would use a birkin a lot. Definitely want a 25cm in a cool color with palladium hardware.

I am a Kelly fan. I don’t like to hold the Birkin on my arms, more hassle than having the Kelly strap on my shoulder. If I need the strap to be longer, I can always purchase the longer length. Hence, i never bought any Birkin. The color is also on the undesirable part. It’s the fomo that usually make one purchase a bag for fear that you’ll never get offered again. I refused a lot of quota bags and only get what makes my heart happy. They’re just bags after all. 😊
@hellocatwalkcity
@hellocatwalkcity Күн бұрын
I think you’re right about the Birkin - you really have to be in the mood for a hand carry or crook of the arm. That’s why most of my bags are crossbody bags with longer straps. The Kelly just fell into a weird category for me. And totally agree! No sense in buying what you don’t like! I’ve had no problem declining other items but I truly thought I needed to branch out and try other neutral colors but in the end, I learned there’s no sense in pushing myself outside of my style either! 😅

The two top handles make so much sense! I got the longchamp mini pouch because I wanted a brown x white combo and know I can't bother with keeping a big white bag clean, but the Neo XS is just better usability. In the same light I recently bought a celine belt bag in pico size but somehow, I'm drawn to my songmont mini (first version with flap), probably because of the 2 handles as well. Never thought about that!

Ack K28 retourne in a light neutral is the last bag on my list for purse peace, but you’ve definitely given me some food for thought. The Kelly lock on both the KTG and K32 never really jives with me in vivo, and I too have always been a Birkin girlie, but for some reason I keep feeling like I still need a K25 or K28 for the collection. Ugh, maybe I should cop a dupe first to see how it feels to open and close with weight.

It is really true that one has to love a handbag and use it. Not just because it is a quota bag which i found so many KZbinrs just die...ing for it regardless of the color offered. Yes i do agree Kelly 28 is consider quite a big bag for small frame. For me, i will never take a size 28 given that i am not tall at all and petite. It will be overwhelming like the bag is wearing me. Is good to even invest than to get a handbag sitting at your closet and you are not using it. Thanks for sharing 🤗

I had the same thought process of the kelly, love the look, but if the crossbody strap wasn't going to be long enough i wouldn't want it. And the top handle that hits your side when you open it Don't like sellier, as the stiffness also bothers me. Then someone pointed out the 24/24 and omg ticked more boxes. Retourne, small top handle of needed. Can convert the straps in many ways. And it fits more than the mini kelly! ? Maybe that might be more in your alley

When I sold my bag, I too popped it into an investment account. I let it ride for a bit and decided to use the dividends to buy my next handbag which was a fun challenge. It caused me to be patient and wait for something I really wanted while also allowing me time to decide if I really needed to buy that bag. I must have changed my mind ten times before I had enough to buy another bag without impacting my initial investment. In the end, I ended up using the money for a fantastic trip:) I guess I just had enough bags and wanted to more WOW moments from the experiences of travel instead?

They would not change the hardware for you. The Hermes stamp is gold. They wouldn't put a silver hardware on the bodybof the bag.

Thanks for being so open about your thought process and experience with the Kelly! It’s really helpful to see that sometimes these bags that we put on pedestals are not what we think they will be (and sometimes we need to try to use them to find out). Hope you’re doing well! 🫶🏼

Absolutely! And I think if we’re going to put a bag on a pedestal at all, it needs to be even more useful and practical for us. Otherwise what are we holding it up on a pedestal for? 😂

I can’t agree more that handbags with 2 handles are so much more functional and easy to use than those with 1 handle. And i think trapezoid shape does not look good on most Asians. Our shoulders and bone width are not wide enough to balance the shape of the bag. I also think that palladium hardware goes so much better with Gris Mayer. Gris Meyer is a cool-toned color. And Hermes Palladium hardware is good. It not only makes the handbags look younger and more casual, it’s also more difficult to come by nowadays. most designer brands use gold hardware. Kelly in Gris Meyer was once my dream bag (in palladium hardware). But my love for it faded already. Probably because I have too many grey bags and Gris Meyer starts to look boring to me, as boring as black. If you like your Hermes bags in gold color so much, maybe you have warm skin undertone? But I remember you look nice in silver-colored jewellery. Is it because of your wardrobe is mainly warm undertone? To my experience, grey does not go well with beige. So, if you have a lot of beige/ brown m clothes, that maybe the reason why you don’t like Gris Meyer. Last but not least, I am happy for you that you let go of something which doesn’t spark joy. Out of sight out of mind. You will soon forget about it. It’s so wise that you are investing the money. This fact also shows that you are already at handbag peace, which is even a greater thing than making a profit from selling the bag!

Aw thank you!! You make all very valid points! I totally agree about the trapezoid shape not being flattering on smaller frames in particular, and I agree about the color combo with the gold hardware - didn’t work. I’m actually a cool toned person but for some reason I like warm toned bags! I think bc my clothes are all pretty neutral (white, black, etc) I like the warmth layer that the caramel brown bags add. I actually don’t like beige. It’s too yellow. Which is why I also sold my Chanel Classic flap in the beige Claire. Just didn’t work well for my skin tone. So odd, I guess we never truly know until we try. As for investing the money, I couldn’t think of anything else to do with it 😂 and my default is always to invest.

Absolutely, if it’s not a heck yes, then it’s a no. That’s usually my motto for shopping and many other decisions in life but I obviously didn’t stick to my motto when I purchased this Kelly! Hence, the predictable outcome. 🙈

If feel like people want Hermes bags just for the sake of it. If you like a birkin tote why do people insist on the birkin when you can get that style of bag anywhere. I notice that people that buy birkins and Kelly’s don’t have that shape of bag in their collection in another brand

Good point. A lot of it is hype and the fact that not everyone can own one, so it becomes a status symbol. In my case, I’m a handbag fanatic so having the crème de la crème of all handbags was quite an exciting notion. But… above that, the bag itself needs to work for me! In this case with the Kelly, it just wasn’t it. And there was no good reason for me to keep it other than just to be able to say I have one - which is stupid. 😂

I recognize you for your consistently negative comments! For YEARS, I have been selling or donating or giving away bags to subscribers once I discover they no longer work for me. You may blindly follow trends but I don’t. I don’t care what other “influencers” may be doing. I buy/sell/keep whatever I want. As you can see, not a single person has backed up your ridiculous comment. Most of my viewers who know me, know I don’t play games.
