Thank you for watching! What do you think of this find? Oh! And some of you had commented on my measuring skills 😂 I did check the measurements along the bottom of the bag, I promise!
Heheheh 😂 Congratulations on your beautiful Kelly! And I'm not surprised at all... TRR is constantly making random errors, and they sometimes go in the customer's favor. The LV Multicolore Pochette Accessories I bought from them had an authentic LV vachetta detachable shoulder strap inside of it, which of course was not mentioned in the listing. Roll the dice with the RealReal! 🥂🎲
Blue Jean in box beautiful color💙So many wonderful finds on the preloved market. I have a Kelly 32 but just to be sure I would measure the bottom of the bag because it should be 32cm width at the bottom. Enjoy your amazing score!
@@classicswithaquirk I was sure you did, I know how thorough you are. I appreciate that in your videos. For video demonstrations, it's useful to have a table or something to balance the bag on. ❤️
Oh at first I thought they sent you something you didn't order (that has happened to me before). But this story was way better than I expected!!! Congrats on your detective work-it paid off!!!
Congrats on your 1st Hermes bag. Your story is fascinating. It gives light and hope to bag lovers, especially those, who have been in a long search for their dream bag(s). The bag is stunning and it suits you beautifully. I'm already awaiting for your upcoming deep review of the H box calf and Kelly :)))
Wow. This was an amazing rollercoaster ride and that bag is a great find. Hermes quality really holds up. Tbh they strike me as one of the last lux brands at high prices that equal the quality delivered. That price you got, amazing. Congrats
Thank you so much!! I love black box, but I wanted a different color in the kelly because I didn’t want it to compete with my delvaux. And SO happy with my find!
Congratulations!! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, best unboxing video of the year, your suspense and emotion is so contagious! ❤ Enjoy your gorgeous steal!
Lovely bag. Spa will be great for this one, I sent my 1971 box leather black 32 to spa last year and it came back great, and the store experience for spa was way fun. Well done!
That's awesome. I stopped shopping at The Real Real years ago because of their misleading labelling, but how great that in this case it worked out for you.
Beautiful🩵🩵🩵 But is it really a 32??? It looked like the measuring tape did not lay on the bottom of the bag but quite a bit above 😳 But if it is - lucky you! 😁🍀🙌
I adore a RealReal messed up story that has a joyously wonderful outcome!!! If anyone deserves finding such a fab bargain, it's you! You've also convinced me that a Kelly 32 is a good size for me to be able to carry in the crook of my arm.... it so frustrates me that a Birkin 25 is just a bit too small to do that with!
Looks fabulous and what ride! I am imagining the super sleuthing going on behind the scenes and the feeling when you clicked submit on that order. I love the box calf so much and have eyed a few vintage Kelly’s in it over the years and I just love how they wear in.
Enjoyed this video ! Glad it all worked out and I love to see you so happy with your purchase . You always know your bags and do your research . Thank you for sharing 😊
Good for you! I look at Real Real often and I've found many mistakes in their listing descriptions so I'm not surprised. Couple times I've returned items and pointed out their mistakes. But they relisted the items with the original erroneous descriptions! I read that back office Real Real employees work under tremendous time pressure so a lot of inaccuracies slip through. Anyway, congrats again!
Thank you! I've also experienced that where the listing was wrong, I returned the item, and it was relisted still wrong. It was nice this time for it to work in my favor 😂
Yoooo CONGRATS that’s huge! I just ordered 2 vintage Delvaux bags off TRR. I normally only order shoes off TRR but your story makes me more comfortable buying bags from them. Can you clarify what you said about the authenticator you use for Hermes? Is this person employed by TRR and so you trust their Hermes authentication in house or do you hire out for it?
Oh nice! Congratulations on your new to you Delvaux! They're one of my favorite houses. The Hermes authenticator I trust is bababebi. She's not affiliated with Hermes, but is considered the foremost third party expert on their bags.
What a thrilling video 😱 I am so glad it is your dream bag at last! Super nice bag, I love this colour too, and it is a perfect size for you 😍 You are creating a stunning bag collection!! 🎉
Damn, well done. I would love a kelly some day and like you always wondered if a 32 was too big compared to a 28, but that's not too bad! I would also probably take one if the price was good.
What a rollercoaster! I’m so happy that this worked out in your favor!! I’m really impressed by your detective work too. Congrats and enjoy your new beauty. 💙
*everyone goes to scour real real for mislabeled bags 🤣* Congrats on the score! I've been eyeing a 32 also! And I think you're totally fine "Swindling" real real. These online consignment places really rip people off with Fees. Congrats again :)
Not sure how I missed this video when it came out. Congrats on getting a phenomenal price on a stunner of a bag! The handle seems to be the ideal fit for crook-of-the-arm carry, so maybe the 32 is your best size.
Well, it’s not luck really. It’s skill! You caught the discrepancy because you know your sh.. I’ve caught a couple of those breaks over the years and was ecstatic to be correct when I received the items. The latest one was an Elsa Peretti Bone Cuff, in brand new condition, that I got for a ridiculous price. Description was off, the auction was all over the place. I authenticated two times, it was authentic. That’s why I never depend on luck- skill gets you there every time ❤ What a brilliant find.. Enjoy!!
Congrats!! What a price/deal too! The way I see it is that it's not your fault they mislabelled it. You just knew better. Looks great on you too. I've always thought if I was ever lucky to get a Kelly, I prefer Kelly to Birkin, I would love box calfskin. Such a beauty you got, enjoy! 💙
Stunning bag! Shopping at TRR requires some detective work as the names are usually missing or wrong and photos misleading. I think the measurements are usually right. I recently got a Bayswater that they made sound awful but it turned out just fine for a great price. You had good instincts and scored!
Congratulations! A beautiful bag! ❤ Very lucky. Great price too. 👍 I'm looking to add a vintage Kelly 28 in black sellier box calf with gold hardware. Do you think the 32 would be too big? Should I stick with the 28? I'm unsure on the size. I think I want the 28 so I can use it in the day and night time but the 32 looks nice too. I'm 5'2", 140 pounds. I do like big bags since I have a Neverfull GM and Artsy MM but not sure on the 32 since I would want to use it for going out for dinner as well.
Thank you! I don't know if I'd take the 32 to dinner. It's a beautiful bag, but a bit bigger for a night out I think. I am planning to post more mod shots in different outfits on my Instagram, as I haven't seen that many about the 32, so maybe that might help?
My 1st time to watch your video and i gotta say i grew impatient watching this. Halfway through this 20-minute vid i started fast fwding and you were still telling the story, which was really really obvious at the beginning of the video. And i agree with you its really a chaotic vid. Anyways, congratulations on your new bag, happy for you! But i dont think the channel’s for me. Take care! ❤
My biggest complaint about The Real Real is their poor descriptions, but it's great when it works out in your favor (not so great when they are trying to sell one of your items, lol). Congrats, the bag is beautiful!
Great find! Love blue jean - its my fav colorway. And I would have never thought to confirm the info in the listing. I will watch out from now on. I have been trying to “earn” a quota bag from Hermes, but no amount of money I can spend in Miami will get me where I need to be. There’s too much wealth and too many personal shoppers to compete. So I think I will take a page out of your playbook. Also been browsing for a delvaux…. Would love to know your thoughts on a spa and to what extent a bag can be rejuvenated.
Thank you for watching! From what I’ve seen from videos and other people sharing their stories on forums, the Hermes spa can really do a lot when it comes to brightening up a bag. They will not spa the inside of a bag though, and if you need more intensive work done, that will of course increase the price. I’ve also seen that corner touch-ups don’t always last as long as you might like. But overall very good things!
