This might not be totally on topic, but can someone tell me the current USD retail for the Kelly wallet? I can't seem to find the info on tPF's Hermes pages.

TIA!

HI ladies i am so excited,finally i got my first 35 Birkin ( the SA called this "cafe" colour). I picked it up from Macau, HongKong , and i feel very lucky coz i've been waiting for 4 months only . the price should be cheaper than some counties since here is tax free. I'll treasure it, now i am going to search more detail about Birkin. haha * thanks for letting me share *

if you mind me asking...how much is this bag? thanksssss!

i just got my very first birkin bag! it was given to me by my own real life "mr.big" all you SATC fans know what type of man i'm mentioning! i'll post pics soon.. i'm so excited and in a bit of a shock at the same time!

^congrats thuyanat! what color did you get? can't wait to see pics!

 

[lovemetender]

why do some birkins/kellys have the hermes logo above the lock part and some don't?

Are you a member of the Purseforum? there is tons of info there on the Kelly wallet. If I remember correctly, the long-size Kelly wallet in chevre ran about $2100.

Everyone can have a Hermes Kelly Bag!

Hermes is offering everyone the chance to download a Kelly bag in paper form!

There are eight styles to choose from seven with beautiful designs one is blank for DIY design. And, if you’re a super DIYer, you can use the paper pattern as a guide to craft a Kelly bag from cardboard fabric!


















And to download the BLANK bag



enjoy!

the girls at Fashionista posted this last week and I went to the site and had this big elaborate plan for d/ling them all and creating them while watching tv. Needless to say I forgot, so thanks for reminding me! I want to make them all and put them up along the top of my bookcases which divides my studio....

when I do I'll take pics and post!

i did one on A4 paper and it turned out TINY. if i ever get the patience to make a batch of them, i'll use them for little presents.

like i mentioned a few posts earlier, i just received my very first birkin bag (courtesy of my real-life mr. Big). though i'm not sure if i should keep it or trade it in for a kelly. the birkin in question (picture below) is orange and is beautiful! though I'm not sure how practical the color is. i called our local Hermes store and they have a 32cm Epson gold leather with gold hardware Kelly available. It's gorgeous! The gold leather is more like a camel color. As for my very first Hermes, should i go for classic neutral yet gorgeeous kelly? or the fabolous yet not to practical orange birkin? the orange is pretty exact to the signature shopping bag.

 

[thuyanat]

oopsie! apologies for the typos above. that was due to a mad rush of excitement. tee hee hee

thuyanat,
i am biaised as i am not a gold fan so i would keep the orange
i think you will have fun with it. to me it would be more difficult to match the gold than it is the orange
