Hermès Kelly 35 Lakis "Toile Riga" Ecru & Vert Anglais Swift Palladium Hardware

The Hermès Kelly Lakis is a utilitarian reinterpretation of the classic Kelly, originally designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier in 2006. This 35cm example features a rare mixed-media construction, pairing a body of Ecru Toile Riga (a distinct, striped canvas) with trim and pockets in Vert Anglais Swift leather. The defining feature of the Lakis model is the addition of two zippered exterior pockets on the front and one large zippered pocket on the back, transforming the typically formal Kelly into a highly functional, accessible travel or work bag.

The use of Toile Riga significantly reduces the weight of the 35cm silhouette compared to an all-leather version, making it an ideal daily carrier. The Vert Anglais (English Green) leather trim frames the striped canvas with a deep, forest-green contrast, evoking a heritage "equestrian sport" aesthetic. Finished with Palladium Hardware, this piece retains the classic Kelly turn-lock mechanics while offering a modern, sporty edge.

JaneFinds Collector’s Insight:
The Lakis is a cult favorite among "utilitarian" collectors who find the standard Kelly flap cumbersome for quick access. It was the spiritual predecessor to the modern "Cargo" line. Finding a Lakis in a Toile/Leather combination is particularly desirable because it leans into the bag's sporty purpose. The Vert Anglais colorway is a sophisticated, "Old World" green that is far more subtle than the brand's brighter greens.

JaneFinds Market Insight:
Kelly Lakis bags are produced in much lower numbers than standard Kellys. While they are a niche market, they command strong prices among those who prioritize function. The Toile Riga variants are less common than standard canvas, adding a layer of textile rarity that appeals to archivists of the Gaultier era.
