It shows scratches more readily than textured leathers, but minor surface marks can be buffed out with gentle pressure. The Anate fringe is cut from the same Swift hide as the body, attached along the full width of the base via a hand-laced whipstitch seam visible at the junction. Sesame is a warm tan introduced in Autumn\/Winter 2021, positioned between Gold and Biscuit in the Hermès neutral spectrum: lighter and more yellow-toned than Ébène, darker and warmer than Nata.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollector's Insight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Kelly Danse was designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier and produced from 2008 to 2013; Hermès reintroduced it as the Kelly Danse II in 2019 with updated proportions. The Anate is the limited-edition fringe treatment introduced for Fall\/Winter 2023, produced exclusively in Swift across a small number of colorways. It was a seasonal release, never added to the permanent Kelly Danse II line: the fringe requires a smooth, flexible hide that cuts cleanly and hangs without curling, and Swift is the only leather used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResale Insight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Anate was a single-season production, and Sesame with gold is one of its warm-neutral configurations. This example is 2023 production in pristine condition with no signs of wear to the fringe, which is the first area to show handling on this model: individual strands can twist, tangle, or crease at the attachment points with regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Hermès","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58239870697775,"sku":null,"price":26500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1826\/7937\/files\/Hermes-Kelly-Danse-Fringe-Anate-Sesame-Swift-Gold-Hardware.jpg?v=1785325788"}],"url":"https:\/\/janefinds.com\/collections\/hermes-kelly-danse.oembed","provider":"JANEFINDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
