Seriously, forget the Birkin for a sec (yeah, I said it, Birkin stans, come at me). The red Kelly bag is just… *chef’s kiss*. I mean, think about it. It’s already an iconic bag – Robert Dumas (Emile Hermes’ son-in-law – history lesson over!) designed this trapezoid thingy way back when, with the straps and all, right? It’s classy AF.
And then you throw in RED. We’re talking Capucine Orange, Rouge Red… eBay’s got ’em, apparently. I saw that, like, “Taschen Kelly” – which, let’s be real, “Taschen” sounds way more sophisticated than “bag,” doesn’t it? It’s practically screaming, “I’m rich and fabulous, and I have *taste*.”
A red Kelly? That’s red carpet material, obvs. Alligator or crocodile skin? Done. Imagine rocking that to, I dunno, the Oscars or something. You’d totally outshine everyone else, even if they’re wearing, like, a dress made of diamonds or whatever.
Okay, okay, so maybe *I* can’t afford one. (Yet! Manifesting!). And yeah, they jacked up the prices on the Mini Kellys in January, the nerve! But that just makes ’em even more desirable, right? It’s that whole “unattainable” thing.
Plus, red just, like, POPS. It’s confident, it’s sexy, it’s… well, it’s red! It screams, “Look at me! I’m not afraid to be bold!” Which, let’s be real, a lot of fashion is just about making a statement, am I right?
