Thank you for this great review. I have found it best to go in and try the sizes on. I'm slightly taller than you, but larger framed and the B25 looked ridiculous on me. Plus, I was really annoyed by not being able to carry it in the crook of my arm. My favorite is the retourne B35, which I think is proportioned to look great on every frame. Your video "Spilling the tea on Hermes" was also informative on how well the larger sized Kelly's could look on petite frames.

Hi Mel, great video! I will add my two cents. I am 5'7" (~170.2cm) and all three sizes work for me, but I always go smaller with lighter colors. Since dark colors recede, I feel I can go bigger. Having said this, I do not do "POP." No problem with "POP" of color, it is just not my personality. Thank you again for the very informative video, particularly the weights!!

I myself own a B30 Retourne Togo in Noir with RGHW and was contemplating if 35 would suit me but I see that it isn't as versatile as the 30 for me in which I could use it day and night as a guy but the 35 would be a great bag for work although I could fit my 13 inch MacBook pro on my 30 just fine. I'll stick with 30 then since it does give me what I need both day and night.

Mel, this is an amazing comparison video! The effort that went into this is just mindblowing. Really appreciate it. I have a B25 (etoupe epsom GHW) in sellier and it is a truly a sexy bag. I used to have a B30 (gold swift PHW) which I rehomed as it was just too large and heavy for me. I'm a touch taller than you and the B30 looks very nice for our height but I live in the city and people kept walking into my bag and it stressed me out to no end haha. At size 30, and for my lifestyle, I'm taking my Goyard Artois out with me, not a quota bag. Also, I think the deal breaker for the B25 is the handle. I'm by no means a small girl but I can fit the B25 almost at up to elbow (without sleeves, but I live in the tropics so that's 350 days of the year haha) so its a perfect bag for me. I'm looking forward to adding a B25 in the standard retourne next year, which I am confident I will enjoy. And if my fairy fails me, I will be knocking at Eclaire Atelier's door! They have everything! You deserve a million more subbies Mel - this was awesome!

Hi Jo! Thank you so much, I know it was pretty long but I wanted to give you all as much information as possible so I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Oh I have no doubt the B25 sellier is sexy, would love one too! How did you find your B30 in swift when you had it? Did it slouch much over time? Oh yes a definitely pro is that with smaller sizes it that you don't have bump into people issue lol Ideally what size B25 retourne would you like to add? Oh yes Eclaire have the best selection wish I could visit their store! xx

Ahh, my B30 in swift actually held up quite well because I used a 7RP insert! #truestory I'm not a fan of the floppy style either haha. I hope to get a b25 retourne in black togo with palladium hardware. I wanted GHW initially but the PHW on my bleu encre K28 has really grown on me. and I find that PHW is a fresher look - so on this point, I'm totally with Charis on her preference for PHW lol! xoxo

This is soooo helpful, Mel! I contemplated between b25 vs. b30 and ended up getting 25, but never considered b35 before. Specially, I thought B35 in Sellier is just so huge for me. However, your special B35 Sellier is just so so beautiful💕 and probably no worries on losing its shape, right? Thank you again, Mel 😁👍❤❤❤

@MelinMelbourne 2 жыл бұрын

Yay so glad you found it so useful. Yes the b35 is definitely a big bag but there is something really nice about that size too. Yes the sellier definitely won’t lose its shape I would love another sellier in a b25 or b30 xx

@roimelendez1056 2 жыл бұрын

Looooove this comparison Mel! Especially the mod shots by both you and hubby! Looking at pics alone can be quite misleading because the B35 looks massively huge whereas the one I got offered from my local Sydney boutique not long ago was actually not too bad! And the B30 still looks okay for men! It’s not the ideal size but it’s still doable. Love your ex-libris twilly! I have the exact same colourway! 💙🧡

@MelinMelbourne 2 жыл бұрын

So glad you enjoyed the mod shots with hubby too. Yes completely agree it can look so different when worn compared to just a picture. Yes I think people just think the b35 is hugeeee, yes it is big but not out of proportion big in my opinion..lol What col/combo did you get? 😍

@roimelendez1056 2 жыл бұрын

@@MelinMelbourne it’s really just because smaller bags are more popular nowadays but once bigger bags make a come back, it will be the complete opposite perception! I think you carry the B35 really well! It’s like how you were surprised with the sizing of your K35 Vert Cypress! I got the Gris Etain with the RGHW 🥰. 🧡

Loved this video! Of the two styles, I think I am more a Birkin than a Kelly person (I love totes!). Retourne, size 30. the weight comparison is very helpful too, as I don’t like a heavy bag. As for color, maybe an etoupe or the etain, but the malachite is gorgeous. Like most things, they have to grow on me. I would have never thought of styling the bag for a man, but can see them using one as a work bag.! My husband thinks I’m crazy to want one, but I can see value as a heirloom bag, my daughter would love it if I got one! I can’t even imagine how Tamara felt when she lost all of her beautiful bags. Keep up the good work.

@MelinMelbourne 2 жыл бұрын

So glad you enjoyed it Julie! Oh an etain Birkin is very high on my wishlist. Definitely love that color as a neutral and of course I’m biased as I own malachite. You should definitely get one! My husband didn’t understand the appeal at the start too but so worth it, especially with Chanel pricing increasing again it’s almost the same price xx

@mel in Melbourne Hi Mel, I’ve been religiously watching your videos and learning about all the birkin and Kelly bags. I finally made the decision to make it a mission to buy a Kelly. During my trip to Hawaii, I went in and expressed my interest and I gave the SA the specs I was looking for. We purchased some items that we LOVED and the next day the SA texted us to come to the store. I got really excited when she told us to go straight to the 3rd floor because I saw a room there the night before. I was offered my first Kelly 25 in the color I was looking for! Your videos totally made me appreciate Hermes products and especially my ❤️KELLY❤️. I feel like such a lucky girl 🥰. Is it weird that I think about my purse regularly? I've never had this feeling with my other bags. 😄 I can't wait to start collecting 🥰.

Thank you for the indepth review! Weight of bags is something i look out for these days but i am unsure about the tiny handles of 25. Gosh... so difficult to decide on my first Hermes.

@MelinMelbourne 2 жыл бұрын

It's my pleasure lovely. Yes as much as I love the B25 the handle drop is definitely a big con if you like to wear your bags on the crook of your arm. However it's really not that bad carry it as a top handle but yes if you want to hands free for a longer period, you may not like this size. The 30 in epsom or swift is pretty light weight however, another thing to consider xx
