I was reading the June issue of Harper's Bazaar today. They had a small snippet on classic handbags and how various designers were updating them so that they appeared more modern. Hermes has now come out with a "slouchy" Kelly. Apparently, this version is made of a much more relaxed material and doesn't stand up on it's own. I'm sorry, this idea may appeal to some individuals but I don't like it. The whole reason I would buy a bag like a Kelly is the structural quality to the craftsmanship. I like a nice sturdy purse and a non-structured bag just doesn't have the same kind of shelf life. Still, if someone gave me one as a gift I wouldn't turn it down. I'm not sure if Grace Kelly would approve, however.
