Hermès Kelly 20 Bleu Saphir Crocodile Gold Hardware
The Hermès Kelly 20 in Bleu Saphir Crocodile is a rare and highly functional iteration of the Mini Kelly silhouette. Unlike the contemporary Mini Kelly II, which features a shorter, wider profile, this 20cm model (often referred to as the vintage Kelly 20 or "Sport") offers a taller architecture. This crucial difference in verticality allows the bag to accommodate a modern smartphone alongside daily essentials, a utility often lacking in other miniature Hermès bags.
The exterior is crafted from Crocodile skin finished in Bleu Saphir, a deep, saturated navy that reads as a near-black ink tone in low light while revealing brilliant sapphire hues under direct illumination. The glossy "Lisse" finish amplifies the jewel tones of the scale pattern. Accented with Gold hardware, the warm metallic contrast underscores the classic elegance of the dark exotic skin. The bag features a shoulder strap with a 48 cm | 19" drop, allowing for comfortable crossbody or shoulder wear.

Collector's Insight:
This 20cm Kelly occupies a specific middle ground in Hermès collecting. While the modern Mini Kelly II (released in 2016) is purely decorative for many due to its inability to hold larger phones, this taller 20cm variant bridges the gap between the micro-bag aesthetic and genuine usability. Finding one in Bleu Saphir Crocodile is exceptionally rare.
Resale Insight:
The market for vintage and taller Kelly 20s has grown as collectors encounter the practical limitations of the current Mini Kelly II. Pristine examples in exotic skins are scarce, as many vintage pieces show significant wear. A pristine example in a deep classic color like Bleu Saphir offers both the mini look and functional capacity.
