The story behind the Kelly
Created in the 1930s by Robert Dumas as a women's bag with straps: a trapezoid with two triangular gussets, a cutout flap, a handle and two side straps. It took the Kelly name in 1956, when Grace Kelly made it famous. Sellier construction keeps the seams on the outside for a more defined outline; Retourné construction turns them inside for softer edges. The leather does not decide the construction: Box calf Kellys are recorded in both.
Discover Hermès Kelly BagsThe Kelly 20 Mini II is Hermès's reissue of the original Mini Kelly, brought back in the current 20 cm format with the full Kelly architecture scaled down and a strap for crossbody wear.
In Noir Epsom, the embossed grain holds sharp Sellier edges and resists scratches better than smooth leathers, and palladium hardware gives the black a cool, clean finish.
Collector's Insight:
Noir Epsom with palladium is the most classic way to carry the Mini II: a color and leather that suit every season and keep their shape with use.
Resale Insight:
Epsom keeps its structure and resists scratches, so buyers focus on the corners, where the grain can rub through, and on the handle and strap attachments.
