From far, both style look very similar. I found the easiest way to identity the two bags is by looking at the handle.
Birkin has two handles attached to the front and back of the bag and they are longer than Kelly's handle.
Kelly only has one short handle on the top of the bag.
Here are more interesting facts about the two famous Hermes bags:
Birkin:
Named after Jane Birkin.
Sizes are 25, 30, 35, and 40 centimeters
It also comes in 45 and 50 centimeter as a travel bag
An average Birkin bag is created in 48 hours
More casual and can be use as a briefcase
It is easier to open than the Kelly
Victoria Beckham owns more than 100 Birkins ~ She is expecting a girl this summer, a lucky girl who will inherit all her mom's Birkins :p
Kelly:
Named after Grace Kelly
Sizes are 22 (Pochette) 25, 28, 32, and 35 cm
An average Kelly bag is created in 18 hours
A nice evening bag
So after all, do you prefer a Birkin or a Kelly?
The Kelly is definitely more structured. The Birkin looks far more casual to me. Carrying a Kelly with a very casual outfit wouldn't look right to me. I personally love a mini Kelly the most out of them.

Love both of them! I couldn't see the different, the designs are really similar! I think after all I would pick Birkin but I love the color from Kelly's bag!

I like the Kelly. It looks more sophisticated to me.
ReplyDeletei dream of owning a birkin!! the only thing that's stopped me is that i really dislike having to hand hold my purses.. thats why i love chanel they sit on your shoulder and it sits really well too they don't slide off or anything annoying like that.. but i do think the birkin is just so perfect.. it's got this mix of classical but casual i don't know how to explain it.. it's just utter perfection.. i'm not a fan of the kelly as much.. it just seems much more mature of a bag i think thats why i don't love it.. but i really love the kelly clutch in croc.. IT'S SO GORGEOUS!
