Kelly 32 just in
Received this beauty today!
Kelly 32 etoupe palladium
Ordered from mark on 5/18
PSP 6/15
Arrived 6/29
Transaction was smooth and mark addressed some stitching on the strap during psp
Positives: overall it looks amazing! I think he did a great job selecting the veining. Overall the bag looks really good and I’d say passable.
Negatives: the price! I paid $1450 and I think that my expectations were very high because of it. I think the pearling is a little ‘messy’ for lack of a better term, my mid tier bags from other sellers do not have this issue; the strap feels thin compared to the strap on my Steven Kelly; there is a sliver of leather peeking through the cutout ( you can see this in the last pic); the interior leather isn’t as soft and lastly I got the dreaded 162 lock. Again for the price I guess I expected upgraded hardware (my bad as I didn’t specify this to him)
None of this will keep me from enjoying this beautiful bag and I realize I may be nitpicking but I just wanted to share my honest thoughts.
I appreciate Mark he showed me the leather before he cut it to make sure I liked the veining and he works fast, I enjoyed seeing some videos of the work in progress
Please let me know what you think of my bag, I enjoy the feedback.
