Before I get into the review, I want to be transparent.

I purchased this bag at a discounted price in exchange for providing an honest review. This is the first time I've ever accepted a discount from a seller in exchange for writing a review, so I wanted to disclose it upfront. Everything below reflects my genuine opinion, and I wouldn't spend the time writing this if I didn't honestly feel this way about the bag.

First Impressions

I'll be honest, I wasn't really sure what to expect.

I also want to say that I generally avoid using terms like high-tier, mid-tier, and low-tier. I think those labels are incredibly subjective because everyone values different aspects of a bag. Some people care most about leather, others about construction, hardware, stamping, proportions, or finishing. There isn't one universal definition.

That being said, I typically buy from sellers that many people within the community would consider among the highest tier available.

I actually owned another K28 before this one, but I wasn't completely happy with the special-order color combination I chose. A few months later, I decided to replace it with this Gris Perle.

Now onto the bag.

The very first thing I noticed was the leather.

Right out of the box, the slouch is beautiful. It's exactly how I like a Kelly to sit. The grain sits right in that sweet spot. It's not overly pebbled, but it's not so fine that it looks flat either.

I also requested minimal veining, because that's always been my personal preference, and Arli absolutely delivered.

The leather has this soft, matte, almost powdery finish that immediately stood out to me. It feels plush without feeling floppy, and the leather selection itself is honestly excellent.

Now, I don't want this review to become about what I paid versus what someone else may pay.

What I will say is this.

For $750, Arli delivered an imported Togo K28 that honestly exceeded every expectation I had going into this purchase.

I wasn't expecting leather from a specific European tannery, nor should I at this price point. But what I received feels substantial, luxurious, and incredibly well selected.

Construction

One thing I really appreciated was Arli's transparency.

He never represented this as something it isn't. From the beginning, he identified this as a mid-priced offering and told me the construction was partially machine stitched.

Personally, I actually prefer that.

The more I've learned about authentic H construction, the more I've realized that's simply how these bags are built. Authentic H bags use both machine and hand processes, so seeing machine stitching where it should be used actually feels more authentic to me than insisting every stitch be done entirely by hand.

Even when I'm ordering from sellers that many people consider among the highest tier, I've found myself preferring builds that incorporate machine stitching where appropriate. For me, it's no longer about chasing "100% handmade." It's about replicating authentic construction methods as closely as possible.

Looking over this bag, I think Arli accomplished exactly that.

The exterior hand stitching has that beautiful angled appearance you'd expect to see.

Then you get to the sangles.

On the front, you have those angled hand stitches. Flip them over and you'll find the straight stitching on the back, exactly like I'd expect to see.

Those are the little construction details I pay attention to, and Arli got them right.

Edge Paint

The edge paint was something I was genuinely excited to inspect.

One of the reasons I chose Gris Perle was because of the lighter brown edge paint.

Bags made with darker colored Togo, or darker leathers in general, can hide imperfections much more easily. If the edge paint isn't perfectly clean or the finishing is a little sloppy, it tends to blend into the darker leather and isn't nearly as noticeable.

With a lighter leather like Gris Perle and the lighter brown edge paint that H uses, there's really nowhere to hide. If the edge paint isn't applied well, if the color match is off, or if the finishing isn't clean, you'll notice it almost immediately.

Thankfully, that wasn't the case here.

The edge paint is beautiful. Every edge is crisp, the color match is excellent, and the overall finishing looks incredibly refined. I found myself turning the bag over again and again because I couldn't find an area that looked rushed or inconsistent.

It's one of those details that doesn't get talked about enough, but it's something I always inspect because it tells you a lot about the overall finishing of the bag.

The Handle

Another thing I absolutely love is the handle.

Kelly handles can vary tremendously between sellers.

Personally, I don't like a handle that's too pointed, and I don't like one that's a perfect half-circle either.

I've always preferred a softer, more natural arch that's proportional to the size of the bag.

That's exactly what Arli delivered.

The handle has a beautiful, balanced curve. It isn't too round, it isn't too pointed. It just looks right.

Honestly, it's exactly what I pictured in my head when I placed the order.

Inside the Bag

The interior was probably the biggest surprise for me.

Since many of my more recent bags have imported chèvre interiors, the first thing I did was grab another bag from my collection so I could compare them side by side.

I expected the difference to be obvious. It wasn't.

The domestic chèvre on this bag feels incredibly good.

It's soft, smooth, and substantial in hand. If someone handed me this bag without telling me what the interior was made from, I honestly don't think I would've questioned it.

The only real difference I noticed was the center spine that imported chèvre often has running from the front of the base to the back.

On this bag, that ridge is much more subtle.

But honestly, unless someone is sticking their entire head inside your bag to inspect the bottom of the interior, I don't think anyone would ever notice.

The leather itself feels excellent.

This actually changed my expectations of domestic chèvre because I assumed the difference between domestic and imported lining would be much more obvious than it actually is.

I also think it's important to keep the price in perspective.

This isn't a $2,000 build. It isn't even a $1,000 build.

It's a $750 K28.

I knew exactly where this bag sat in the market before I ordered it.

What surprised me wasn't that Arli met my expectations.

It was that every time I moved on to inspect another area of the bag, I kept expecting to finally find the compromise that made me think, "Okay, here's where the price shows."

Honestly, that moment never really came.

Hardware & Foil

The hardware deserves a quick mention.

It's stainless steel with hand engraving, and if I'm being completely honest, I really can't tell a meaningful difference in hand compared to bags I own that cost considerably more.

I've also included photos of the lock and keys because I know there's been discussion recently surrounding lock numbers, specifically combinations like 162.

Speaking personally, after owning bags from sellers like XM, Mark, AF, and several others, I've honestly never once looked at the number stamped on my lock.

It's simply never been something I've judged a bag by.

The foil stamp, however, absolutely deserves its own section.

This was probably one of the biggest surprises on the entire bag.

The foil is beautifully applied.

It sits on top of the leather exactly the way I like to see it. It isn't pressed deeply into the leather. It's bright, reflective, and the lettering is incredibly crisp.

Even better, there's zero puckering around the stamp.

That's something I always look for because it's surprisingly common to see, even on bags costing significantly more.

For Arli to execute the foil this cleanly on a Gris Perle bag genuinely impressed me. Lighter colors are much less forgiving, and every little imperfection tends to stand out.

I've owned bags from sellers charging two and three times this price that didn't execute their foil as cleanly.

Final Thoughts (So Far)

Looking back over everything I've inspected so far, I kept waiting for the moment where I'd think, "Okay, here's where the compromises start."

I honestly never had that moment.

That doesn't mean this bag is trying to be a fully upgraded $2,000 build, because it isn't.

It's a thoughtfully built $750 K28 that focuses on getting the fundamentals right.

After spending years buying bags from sellers at the higher end of the market, I can honestly say this one challenged a lot of my own assumptions about what to expect at this price point.

More than anything, that's the biggest compliment I can give Arli.

I'll continue updating this review if anything changes with wear over time, but as a first impression, I walked away genuinely impressed.

Re🏡 XM B25 Cargo Bai Brun & Ecru Toile UPHW

In the process of discussing with the moderator team how to implement re🏡 within Mirror Society in a way that does not bombard the community or take away from the more curated content and discussions being posted here daily. For now, I’ll occasionally share a few pieces personally while we work through what that structure may look like long term.

————————

Specifications: Birkin 25cm Cargo - Bai Brun (T3) Pomari Swift & Ecru Toile - Upgraded Palladium Hardware

TS: XM

Condition: Tried on a few times over the weekend I received it. Stickers remain on the sangle hardware and touret. Stickers on the lock and pontets have otherwise been removed. Feet protectors remain on the bottom.

RFS: I 💳 this right before the limited Denim Moyen edition became available. Although this is likely XM’s closest auth match for the Cargo — down to the authentic-style ecru toile and slightly lighter thread color used on the T3 Swift areas (similar to Ebene 46 authentic contrast) — I just personally prefer the Denim Moyen more and will be re-💳ing.

Orig: Received discounted 🏷️ of 7650CNY + 📦 via YF 1000CNY = $1270

Normally 8800🇨🇳/1300🇺🇸 (before 📦)

Ask: $1300 inc. 📦 OBO

Housekeeping: All 💸 are final. No returns. Once the bag leaves my possession, it is no longer my responsibility. Please perform all necessary QC prior to 🛍️. 💳 via Venmo/PPFF

Specifications: Kelly 25cm - Etoupe (18) - Weinheimer Togo - Upgraded Palladium Hardware

TS: XM

Condition: Like brand new with no visible signs of wear. Stickers have been removed. Carried only 4️⃣x since receiving in January and was otherwise displayed on my bag shelf.

RFS: I absolutely love this bag, the Etoupe color, and the amazing Weinheimer Togo leather. The K25 is just a bit too small for me personally.

🌷 Mother’s Day & Bag of the Day Thread

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers in Mirror Society this weekend 💐

To the stay at home mothers, working mothers, single mothers, mothers balancing both roles, mothers who raised siblings or family members, women who stepped into motherly roles for children that were not biologically their own, mothers to partners’ children, aunties who became second moms, the women who always show up with guidance and care, the mothers who experienced loss, and the women who may not have children of their own but still spent part of their life nurturing and caring for someone else — today is for you too.

And to the women in this community who constantly offer kindness, advice, reassurance, and support to others here every day, thank you as well 🤍

I hope everyone has a peaceful weekend whether you’re surrounded by family, friends, chosen family, or simply taking a quiet moment for yourself today.

Bag of the day for me:
- Mark Black Box B40 🖤
- Lindy 30 in Etoupe ✨

Would love to see what everyone else is carrying today as well.

u/RobeoRodeo — 2 months ago

New arrival — and a gift from a special friend.

Lindy 30 getting its first proper wear today. Easy carry, great balance, already starting to soften in all the right places.

Drop yours below — what are you wearing today?

⚠️ URGENT — REPORT THIS FAKE SUBREDDIT ⚠️

Please take a moment to report this here:
https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001103212

The subreddit r/MarkHermes is NOT affiliated with the real Mark.

  • They are impersonating him to gain attention and trust
  • The phone number listed is NOT his
  • This is misleading and puts people at serious risk of being scammed

I personally confirmed this directly — he had just woken up and was completely confused by the situation. This is extremely concerning.

Subreddit link:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MarkHermes

What to do:

  • Report the subreddit using the link above
  • Do NOT contact the number listed
  • Do NOT engage or send money

Let’s shut this down quickly before anyone gets hurt.

Please report this subreddit and the individual running it. This is an impersonation account pretending to be Mark, and it is not legitimate. It will very likely lead to people being scammed. The contact information being shared throughout the page is incorrect and should not be trusted.
