Hermès Kelly 28 Retourne Rubis Evergrain Palladium Hardware
Kelly 28 Retourne in Rubis Evergrain with Palladium hardware. Rubis is a deep, saturated berry red with cool blue undertones, darker and more complex than Rouge Casaque, less brown than Rouge H. Evergrain is a fine, tight-grained calfskin with a matte finish and a soft hand. It sits between Togo's larger tumbled grain and Epsom's pressed texture, producing an even surface with subtle depth. The Retourne construction gives the bag soft, rounded edges that complement the leather's pliable character. All protective plastics remain on the hardware.
The heart charm and decorative strap shown in photos are styling props and are not included.

Collector's Insight: Evergrain was used sparingly by Hermès and does not appear in current regular production with the same frequency as Togo, Epsom, or Clemence. Rubis was introduced around 2012 and retired within a few seasons. Both variables are discontinued from standard production, making this a convergence of two closed specifications. The 28 cm Retourne is the classic Kelly proportion, bridging the compact 25 and the larger 32.
Resale Insight: Rubis in Evergrain is an uncommon pairing on the secondary market. The color reads as a rich jewel tone without the orange warmth of Rouge Casaque or the brown warmth of Rouge H, giving it a distinct position in red Kelly collecting. Pristine condition with plastics intact indicates careful storage since purchase.
