Hermès Kelly 25 Sellier Vert Criquet Epsom Gold Hardware
Hermès Kelly 25 Sellier Vert Criquet Epsom Gold Hardware
Vert Criquet, the house's cricket green, is a vivid, yellow-leaning shade that reads as pure energy against the Kelly's most formal construction. In Epsom leather, the color takes on crisp definition: the fine embossed grain holds the Sellier's architectural lines and keeps the green luminous rather than deep. Gold hardware warms the composition, a pairing that turns a statement color into something genuinely wearable. In the 25cm Sellier, the result is a bag that marries contemporary vibrancy with timeless structure, small in scale and unmistakable in a room.
Sellier construction uses external stitching without a turned edge, producing rigid, defined lines that show less relaxation over time than Retourne. Interior is lined in matching Chevre leather with one zip pocket and two slip pockets. Single top handle with detachable shoulder strap.

Collector's Insight: Vert Criquet is among the most celebrated of Hermès' modern greens, produced in limited seasonal windows rather than continuously. The Kelly carries the lineage of the original 1930s sac à dépêches, renamed after Grace Kelly in 1956, and Sellier construction is produced in smaller quantities than Retourne — a statement color on the rarer construction, in the most requested compact size.
Resale Insight: Demand for the Kelly 25 Sellier continues to outpace supply, and seasonal greens with gold hardware have shown durable strength on the secondary market. Pristine examples in rested colors like Vert Criquet appeal to both wear-it buyers and collectors positioning for the color's scarcity once out of rotation.
