Hermès Kelly 28 Au Trot Malachite Togo Turquoise Chevre Black Box Calf Palladium Hardware
Kelly 28 Retourne from the Au Trot special edition. Malachite Togo body with a bi-color handle constructed from Turquoise Chevre (goatskin) on top and Black Box Calf underneath. The handle is the defining detail of the Au Trot series: two contrasting leathers wrapped over the same form, visible as a color split when the bag is carried by hand.
Three leathers, three behaviors. Togo on the body provides pebbled grain and scratch resistance. Chevre on the handle top is tight-grained and firm; it holds its shape under grip pressure. Box Calf on the handle underside is smooth and will develop a patina over time from hand contact. Palladium hardware reads cool against the green. Retourne construction softens the Kelly's edges at this size.

Collector's Insight:
The Au Trot series modifies a single element of the standard Kelly, the handle, using two contrasting leathers bonded together. The construction requires the sellier to work with three different skins across one bag, each with different stretch, grain, and finishing characteristics. Au Trot was produced in limited configurations and is not a standing collection; specific color combinations were allocated, not ordered. Malachite as a body color has since been retired from Hermès production.
Resale Insight:
Special edition Kellys with named series designations (Au Trot, Au Pas, Au Galop) trade at premiums to standard production because they were produced in controlled quantities with predetermined color combinations. A retired body color in a limited-edition format with three-leather construction narrows the available supply further. Pristine condition on a special edition piece.
