Hermès JPG Kelly Pochette Black Matte Niloticus Crocodile Palladium Hardware
Hermès JPG Kelly Pochette Black Matte Niloticus Crocodile Palladium Hardware
The Kelly Pochette in Black Matte Niloticus Crocodile with Palladium hardware. Niloticus Crocodile from the Nile crocodile has slightly larger scales than Porosus, with a rounder profile. It remains one of the most sought-after exotic skins in the Hermès range.
The Kelly Pochette is the clutch expression of the Kelly silhouette, with the same turn-lock closure and signature flap compressed into a flat envelope for hand carry. The format debuted on Jean-Paul Gaultier's first Hermès runway in 2004; this example dates from that original JPG era. Interior features a flat pocket. The form is designed for evening use, holding essentials without the structure of the full Kelly.
Condition: 2 – Excellent
Stamp: L □ (2008)
Color: Black
Leather: Matte Niloticus Crocodile
Hardware: Palladium
Collector's Insight: Matte Niloticus Crocodile production is constrained by raw material scarcity and limited annual output. Allocation within Hermès exotic bag production is among the most selective in the house.
Resale Insight: Kelly Pochettes have appreciated significantly since their introduction; early JPG-era examples in exotic skins trade at premiums over recent production. Black matte crocodile is the most liquid exotic pochette configuration.
