Kelly 28What size is it? Check basic specs
| Item | Kelly 28Approximately |
|---|---|
| Width | Approximately 28cm |
| height | Approximately 21cm |
| Gusset | Approximately 12cm |
| Approximate weight | Approximately 1.1-1.2kg (varies depending on material) |
| How to hold it | 2WAY handbag/shoulder bag |
When you look at the numbers alone, it seems compact, but the gusset of the 28 is approximately 12cm, so it can hold more luggage than it looks. The weight varies depending on the material, with light leathers such as Togo (soft leather with fine grains) being easier to handle, and boxcalf (harder leather with a smooth, glossy surface) having a slightly firmer weight.

“28 isKellyThis is the size that we recommend the most if you are unsure. It looks elegant when you hold it in your hand, yet the inside is usable. If you look at the numbers, there is only a 3cm difference from the 25, but this 3cm completely changes the way you put it in your long wallet. At our store in Ginza, you can actually put your luggage in and check it out, so please give it a try. ”
Kelly 28What goes inside | Actual storage capacity and usability
The specific guidelines for what to include are as follows.
- long wallet：余裕を持って収まります。
- Smartphone: Even larger models can fit into it without any problem.
- Compact pouch, lip, and keys: It can fit all your everyday accessories.
- Thin documents and tablets: There are days when you can fit it in without folding it, so it can be used for small outings.
On the other hand, people who carry around multiple plastic bottles or large makeup bags may feel a little cramped. If you usually carry a lot of luggage, you may want to consider the 32, which has more storage capacity. This article provides a detailed comparison of the differences in capacity between sizes.

[Buyer Kougen comment]
``We tell our customers, ``Please bring the contents of your usual bag.'' When most people put the contents in the 28, they feel it's ``just right''. They don't have to worry about adding more luggage, and it doesn't take longer to carry less luggage. I think this sense of security is the reason why the 28 has been loved for so long.
Kelly 28Why is it called a “universal size” | Scenarios where it can be used
The reason for this is both the size and the way you hold it. If you hold it in your hand, it will give you an elegant and formal impression, and if you attach the shoulder strap, you can wear it cross-body, leaving your hands free. It goes well with a pretty dress or jacket style, and is perfect for both weekdays and holidays.
Since one bag can cover a variety of situations, the 28 is suitable for those who are worried about how to choose their first bag.

At the physical store in Ginza, you can compare 25, 28, and 32 side by side.
Kelly 28Size | Difference between height and 25 and 32
We have organized the differences between 25 and 32 so that you can understand them at a glance.
| size | Width | impression | suitable person |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kelly 25 | Approximately 25cm | Small and gorgeous | People who carefully select their luggage and want to carry it elegantly |
| Kelly 28 | Approximately 28cm | Versatile and well balanced | Those looking for one that can be used every day |
| Kelly 32 | Approximately 32cm | Large size with a neat feel | Those who commute or want to keep their clothes clean |
For people who are shorter in height, 28 tends to be easier to balance than 32, which tends to look larger when held in the hand. If you are tall, a size 25 may look small, so a size 28 or above will fit better. In other words, a size 28 is ``difficult to remove'' regardless of your physique. The atmosphere changes depending on whether you sew inside or outside, so if you're particular about it, please also take a look at the article below.

"For your first bottle, you can't go wrong with Togo's Noir or Etoupe. They're easy to handle and go well with any outfit. However, with vintage, you can also encounter out-of-print colors that have a depth that isn't present. Many people start with the classics and play with colors on the second bottle. Many people enjoy them that way."
