Hermès Kelly Pochette Ombré Niloticus Lizard Palladium Hardware

Ombré lizard keeps the natural gradation of the hide instead of dyeing it to one tone: a darker line along the spine fading toward a paler belly, so no two pieces carry the same pattern. On the Kelly Pochette's flat front the gradient runs across the whole face, and the polished finish sharpens the shift between tones.

The Kelly Pochette is the clutch form of the Kelly, with a single flat top handle and no shoulder strap, sized for a phone and a card case. Niloticus lizard's small, tight scales suit the format, and palladium hardware keeps the turn-lock cool against the gradient.

Pairs with: The Strap Converter, available in palladium and gold, and JANEFINDS straps and chains, sold separately. Check the fit of your bag's attachment points before use.

Collector's Insight:
Ombré is a natural-finish treatment, so each piece depends on the pattern of a single hide and two Ombré Pochettes will never match. The balance of the gradient across the front is part of what defines this particular example.

Resale Insight:
Because each Ombré piece is unique to its hide, buyers compare the balance of the gradient as much as the specification. On lizard, the corners and the flap edge are where wear shows first, and lifted scales cannot be restored.
