Hermes Kelly 32 in Orange Swift

Fendi Peekaboo in natural leather and Python lining

Hi Purseholic

I am a 40-year old single woman who is lucky enough to have been able to earn enough to finally afford my first Hermes Kelly, which I have been eying for it for the past 3 years. Lately however, I am totally drawn to Fendi Peekaboo too and I find some similarities in term of style between them. With the price tag of only about half of that of Hermes Kelly, I am ready to ditch Kelly and go ahead with Peekaboo but I am afraid I would regret going for a non-classic bag in the future. What is your opinion?

Hi Carol

Both Hermes Kelly and Fendi Peekaboo are great bags to own and while the Kelly obviously has more heritage, the Peekaboo is a new classic in the making. In your case, however, I would suggest to stick to the classic Kelly as it is something you have coveted for for the last three years. I don’t think you would ever regret the purchase and if after that you still covet the Peekaboo, save for another year to get one in a version that is very different from your Kelly.
