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.

However, your special B35 Sellier is just so so beautiful💕 and probably no worries on losing its shape, right? Thank you again, Mel 😁👍❤❤❤

    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!!

    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.

  • @jo_overjoyeod
    @jo_overjoyeod Před 2 lety +19

    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!

      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

    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
      @MelinMelbourne  Před 2 lety

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.

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
