Hermès Kelly Ado 20 Mini Black Gulliver Gulliver Leather Gold Hardware
The Kelly Ado was originally released in 1997 and was produced through 2001. In 2018 the Ado was reissued, dubbed the Kelly Ado II. This example from the original production run is a rare mini version, only 20cm across at the base. Rendered in soft Black Gulliver leather (the precursor to Swift), this adorable backpack is topped with Gold hardware, a combination that could not be more classic. This vintage piece has been maintained in exceptional condition and is ideal for any Hermès collector with a penchant for the special and unusual. Color: Black Hardware: Gold Material: Gulliver Leather Condition: Excellent Collection: 2000, D Square Height: 11" Width: 10.6" Depth: 4.7", Handle: 6.6”
Retourne construction involves turning the bag inside-out during assembly, producing softer, rounded edges. The 20cm Kelly is a scaled format that adjusts the original proportions. Interior is lined in matching Chevre leather with one zip pocket and two slip pockets. Single top handle with detachable shoulder strap.
