Both of these are Hermès Kelly 28s, but which one looks larger to you?
If you picked the one on the left, you'd probably be correct, because visually, bags with Sellier stitching appear larger than bags with Retourne stitching.
The difference between Hermès Sellier and Retourne comes down to how the bag is made and how it wears.
Sellier is stitched on the outside, with visible seams that give it a crisp, structured shape and a more polished, formal feel.
Retourne is stitched on the inside and turned out, creating a softer, more relaxed silhouette with rounded edges that feels effortless for everyday use.
Sellier wears larger because of its bold edge. Conversely, Retourne wears smaller because of its tucked edge.
