BUYER'S GUIDE
It's all about size: 32 is the smallest of the larger Kelly. It is the most popular "large" Kelly. You can fit so many things in it but it doesn't look too big.
Features: padlock and "clochette".
Material tip: Togo leather (big grains) costs more than Swift (smooth) and Epson (fine grains) but Swift leather is making a comeback. Box leather (very smooth and glossy) is the iconic leather. Togo and Epsom and other grained leather tend to scratch less.
Material tip 2: For vintage versions, Box leather is often recommended as it is the iconic Hermès leather and is said to have a beautiful patina over the years, like a mirror surface.
Sellier or retourné ? The Sellier is the classic Kelly. Structured, Boxy, formal. Retourné/relaxed/soft is more round, more casual.
