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.

Its brushed gold hardware perfectly accentuates the saturated green palette, while the sharp Sellier silhouette enhances the bag’s architectural lines.

Store-fresh and impossibly rare, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime find for the true Hermès connoisseur.
