Hermès Kelly 20 Sellier Rouge Vif/Bleu Saphir Box Calf Gold Hardware
Hermès Kelly 20 Sellier Rouge Vif/Bleu Saphir Box Calf Gold Hardware
Kelly 20 Sellier in Rouge Vif and Bleu Saphir Box Calf with Gold hardware. Vintage two-tone Mini Kelly with a Rouge Vif body and Bleu Saphir sangles crossing the flap. The color combination is bold: a pure, saturated red against a deep, cool navy, connected by Gold hardware that warms both. Box Calf on both colors, identifiable by the smooth, tight-grained surface with a natural high sheen that no other Hermès leather replicates. Sellier construction holds the two-tone contrast at crisp, defined edges.
Vintage Kelly 20s were not standard production items. They appeared sporadically and in very small numbers, and a two-tone specification at this size would have been an even more restricted configuration. The leather shows surface marks and light scratching consistent with Box Calf that has been handled over decades; Box records every interaction with its surface, which is both its vulnerability and its character. Gold hardware shows patina on the studs and turnlock consistent with age. Detachable shoulder strap in Rouge Vif.

Collector's Insight: Two-tone vintage Kelly 20s are among the rarest configurations in the Kelly universe. The 20 cm size was not catalogued as a standard production model during the era this piece was produced, and adding a contrasting sangle color further narrows the production pool. Box Calf is the historically correct leather for vintage Kellys of this period and the one that shows age most honestly. The Rouge Vif/Bleu Saphir pairing is not a combination that appears in modern HSS (Horseshoe Special Order) programs with any regularity at this size. This is a product of a different production era when small-run color combinations were made at the discretion of individual ateliers.
Resale Insight: Vintage two-tone Mini Kellys trade in a collector category that barely overlaps with the modern Mini Kelly II market. Buyers of these pieces are acquiring provenance, age, and a color specification that cannot be replicated through current Hermès channels. Condition 3 on a vintage Box Calf piece is expected and appropriate; Box is a leather that shows its history. The two-tone element and the 20 cm size are the primary value drivers here, not condition grade. The shoulder strap adds wearability that many vintage mini Kellys lack.

JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain
The JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain is hand-knotted from up to 60 varieties of natural semi-precious stones strung between lobster-clasp hardware at each end. The clasp configuration attaches directly to the sangle hardware of Hermès bags and converts the bag to crossbody or shoulder wear. The chain also functions independently as a long necklace without a bag attached.
Documented stone varieties include amethyst, apatite, carnelian, citrine, emerald, labradorite, lemon quartz, peach moonstone, peridot, Peruvian opal, pink moonstone, prehnite, rose quartz, ruby, sunstone, and tourmaline. Each stone is individually hand-knotted between adjacent stones, securing the strand against bead loss in the event of any single break. Stones are sorted into four documented colorways: Rainbow, Natural, Turquoise, and Malachite. Exact stone composition within each colorway varies by piece due to the natural variation of the source materials.
Standard length is 44 inches (112 cm), which produces a crossbody drop appropriate for Hermès bags 25 cm and smaller, including the Mini Kelly 20 II, Kelly Pochette, Constance 18 and 24, and Birkin 25. The chain can be doubled to produce a shorter shoulder drop or wrist-wrap carry, and worn as a standalone necklace at full length. Hardware (Gold or Palladium clasp) is selected at order.
Length: 44" | 112 cm
Material: Semi-Precious Stones, Hand-Knotted
Hardware: Gold or Palladium clasp (selected at order)
Colorways: Rainbow / Natural / Turquoise / Malachite
Recommended For: Hermès bags 25 cm and smaller (Mini Kelly 20 II, Kelly Pochette, Constance 18, Constance 24, Birkin 25)
Production: Hand-knotted, 7-10 business days
Note: Each chain is unique. Stones fall within the selected colorway range; exact composition varies by piece.
Styling Notes:
The chain pairs with the full JaneFinds accessory chain collection for coordinated multi-chain layering. Standard wear is single-strand crossbody; doubling produces a shorter shoulder carry. The lobster-clasp configuration matches Hermès sangle hardware proportions and does not require additional adapters.

JaneFinds Cuban Crossbody Chain
The JaneFinds Cuban Crossbody Chain converts top-handle carry of Hermès Kelly and Mini Kelly bags into crossbody or shoulder wear without altering the bag. Cuban link is a flat, twist-pattern chain construction: each link rotates 90 degrees relative to its neighbors and interlocks tightly, producing a chain that lays flush against the body rather than twisting or rolling at the strap line. The pattern is the standard reference for flat-laying chainwork and remains the most stable shoulder-strap chain construction for weighted top-handle bags.
Hardware finish is offered in Gold or Palladium to match Hermès hardware on the carrying bag. Each chain terminates in a lobster clasp at one end and a spring ring at the other, attaching directly to the Kelly's sangle D-rings without adapters. Two clip sizes are offered: Standard Clip for Kelly 25, 28, 32, and 35; Small Clip for Mini Kelly 20 II, Vintage Mini Kelly, and Mini Bolide. Link gauge is selected as Wide or Narrow at order; Wide produces a heavier, more visually present chain, Narrow a finer line.
Standard chain length is 44 inches (112 cm), which produces a standard crossbody drop for most Kelly sizes. The chain can be doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or worn standalone as a necklace. Pairs with the JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain and other accessory chain collection pieces for layered styling.
Length: 44" | 112 cm
