I used to think I was a Kelly girl for years - loved the grace Kelly box leather version. Birkin looked „ugly“ to me (the done up version online). Insta introduced me to the cool girl way of wearing it - sides winged out. 25 was my first and I fell in love ! Love the b now more !
I came back to this video cause now I have both and I totally understand how you feel 🥹 I love both so much I always thought I was a Kelly girl but now I can’t decide!!
Great video!!!! Preloved versions of both bags are on my wishlist!!! I truly appreciate the comparison and things to watch for when purchasing or using these iconic bags. With no boutique in my area, I must go preloved. I’m so happy to hear that you truly love both!!!!🥰
I had to tell you Amy, initially when your revealed your black kelly, I was also wondering why you didnt choose another color since B/K/C are so hard to get.. But as I ponder further, I think your choices are great as B and K are quite different and you can never go wrong with black. Love both your Kelly and Birkin!
Great video , I have a B25 and K28 sellier and they both have diff looks and purpose. Love them both but I would love to have a k25 retourne bec of the strap option 🥰
What a great and thorough review Amy!!!! Really enjoyed hearing your thoughts. The Kelly is just so sexy in Sellier! Can’t wait to add one to my collection this year 🤞
aww gotta have them both la, how to choose? they are such different bags! before the mini kelly, i thought i was a die hard birkin 25 girl, but now i’m afraid i may want more mini kellys which is… financially devastating 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for this hotly anticipated video Amy! You have a very balanced viewpoint. I am 100% Kelly girl. I haven’t used my birkin for about a year now, so sad it is just a piece I like to look at now and again. After your mini Kelly you should think about a retourne Kelly, such a different vibe and looks really cool with the sides bat-winged out, which obviously you can’t do with the sellier. Just saying… 🤭
Both have their pros and cons..I love my Birkin 25 in Swift more than my Kelly 28 sellier..largely because I love my bleu Frida Birkin compared to the black Kelly. The Kelly Sellier is too formal and stiff for me. If the Birkin had a strap it would be the perfect bag
Great video, Amy! I totally agree with you, B and K are very different bags, and I too couldn't part with either of mine. I don't close my B when I store it either, but for the few weeks I've had the K I have closed the bag up (the stickers are still on). How do you store your K?
Loved your review! Would you say the base of the B25 and K25 are the same length? I would assume so given they are both 25s, but in your pics, the B25 looks a lot wider. Thanks!
Until the Birkin comes with a strap, I’ll be Team Kelly. I think yours is the perfect size to go from day-to-night, something the Birkin doesn’t offer; nobody is taking a Birkin to dinner unless it’s fast food after work. The rose gold hardware is beautiful on your Birkin though.
I don't have a dark colored 25 birkin but really people won't wear it for a dinner? I get it not for a formal event unless you need like a vloging camera I guess... But I have several medium ish bags that I wear for evening because I just carry a lot. Am I completely insane and looking weird because of my ludicrously capacious bags? It's an honest question I would think a b25 would be an acceptable size for day to evening

So interesting how things work sometimes right?! 😉

Glad it was helpful and good luck in your preloved search! Exciting!!

YASSS!!! Get a Kelly Sellier next babe! :)
I love both equally! ❤❤Depends on the occasion and style of the outfit
The convenience of getting is and out is really why I prefer retourne so much more than sellier 😅
Absolutely!
I have never heard anyone pronounce "nuisance" that way! Helpful video!

Hehehehe it's a great problem to have! I can't wait for mine one day!

You are so welcome my dear! I would love to get a Kelly in retourne one day!!
I got k25 sellier in chèvre, and already stiff, imagine epsom, retourne must east to use !!

You are amazing!! Love how you know the measurements off the cuff 😂 birkin is hands down 💸
I like birkin in size 25 more !!! For
Kelly I love mini more since I love crossbody it❤️ but both of them beautiful ❤
Both styles are necessary depending what's on the day's agenda.
Great video, Amy! I totally agree with you, B and K are very different bags, and I too couldn't part with either of mine. I don't close my B when I store it either, but for the few weeks I've had the K I have closed the bag up (the stickers are still on). How do you store your K?
I use the original felt between the flap and just close the flap but leave the sangles floating in front :)
Loved your review! Would you say the base of the B25 and K25 are the same length? I would assume so given they are both 25s, but in your pics, the B25 looks a lot wider. Thanks!
Birkin is wider for sure.
@@FashionablyAMY So interesting. Thanks for letting me know! :)
I love both but if i have to choose one…it’s Kelly because it fits with my lifestyle more❤️
Hi Amy! Which thickness insert did you buy for your Kelly? Thanks for the informative video as always!😊
Did you watch my video or skip thru it? I repeated and explained in details which one i got and why in the video 😉
@@FashionablyAMY Omg sorry!! I was playing the video while cooking and I must’ve missed it! I’ll rewatch! Thank you!!🤭
@@joie5599 hehe sounds good! They’re also linked in the video 👌🏻
I wouldn’t get black in both due to my vision lol not sure what to say I guess I like them both
I love both but can’t afford any

Love them both 🖤🤍🖤🤍
Like you I can’t choose! I love them both 🤩great problem to have 😊💗
Right?! 🤣🤩
Agree with @Jo overjoyeod, both bags are so gorgeous 😍😍😍
Love them!! 😇
Love both bags
I’m the same as you, loving both too!!!
Yay!!🙌🏻
Nice video
They look alike
Sounds like you like the Kelly more. I disagree that Kelly looks better. Birkin is more distinctive; Kelly is plain. XOXO Birkin Girl.
