Hello to this happy beautiful bag lovers community!
Need some advice from you ladies…..
I was offered a few selection of Hermes birkin and Kelly recently but I passed up on them as they were not the colors I was hoping to get. But there is this interesting Kelly bag……I am still pondering over it. My SA can onl put on hold for a few days for me….so I need your kind advice.
It’s a Kelly retourne 32 in rouge H.
It is not the red color that I want as I had a similar color in another bag.
But …… it’s the tri leather that is making me think about it….
Tri leather : veau sombrero/ taurillon clemence/ epsom
I have yet to come across Tri leather. Bi or Tri colors: yes…. but not tri leather.
Do you think I should say “YES” to this Tri leather bag or I should just wait for the colors of my choices to come along…….
Thank you very Much for the advice..

Is your reason for considering it because you think tri leather may make it more valuable as it’s more unusual? Personally, I don’t think it’s attractive and i don’t think the leather combo is good. You have to pick one that you personally enjoy. I think someone designed it and when it arrived they didn’t like it and passed it up. Go with what you’ve been waiting for unless you look at this and just love it. I think it’s highly personal and I do not think it will be worth any more because of the tri-leather.

My personal opinion: I think this bag is gorgeous BUT it’s a big investment for you to be having second thoughts about it. I think when it comes to Hermès, you have to look at it and your heart beats faster. Plus, you’ve already declined other bags, so you don’t have the problem of worrying you’ll never be offered another one becausw you know you will… I believe you should wait for the ones you really want, they will be yours eventually and you will cherish them more ?❤️?

After I declined on the previous choices, I was also offered a Kelly 28 blue hydra GHW. I declined that as well as I was still hoping to get my few holy grail colors first.
Today, I was offered birkin 30 blue paradise , silver hardware. Clemence & evercolor material with ghillies!
Just to share with you ladies how this color looks like. The second picture has my Lindy bag in blue saint cyr for comparison.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am wondering…… with me being offered a few bags and if I kept rejecting , would the SA and manager of the store think that I am such a fussy customer and not offer me more choices in future?
But I am still quite bent on getting my few holy grail colors.
Hopefully they will come my way soon…. ☺️

Absolutley not!! (Unless you’re in love) Too limiting in terms of care. For example, I have a swift Kelly- have to check the weather before I carry it. Too sunny, leather fades. Any chance of precipitation? Forget even thinking about bringing that bag out. Epsom birkin, ( in soufre) perfect tropical weather leather bc it can handle precipitation pretty well. Clemence Kelly- I can throw that thing around on an everyday basis and not worry about scratches discoloring staining etc. Bottom line is I have a headache even thinking of when and how I could use a bag made out of three totally different materials
Hope that helps best of luck

Hi Andrea!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about the leather. That is something I did not consider before. I am sure learning a lot here. Thank you.

Probably the minority here but I love tri-leather in one color or shade than tri-color! I hope this was offered to me as I would grab it in a heartbeat!

???? Hi! It’s quite interesting to know that we all ladies sure have our different likings and preferences. ???? I guess the most important factor is whether you love the bag. ☺️

Thank you so much for your advice. It is so spot on. I was indeed skeptical as it is definitely not “love at first sight”. Those whom I had asked for advice were just being cordial and mostly telling me I should take it. But I had my doubts. You were outright honest about it and I love it. I made up my mind immediately after reading your reply and had rejected this bag.
I shall continue to wait for the color I love. Never compromise. ✌????????
Thank you.
I’m glad I could help! You want to be in love with a bag that you make that much of a commitment to… just like a significant other!
Thank you Libby! ????
