Hermès Kelly Élan Broderie Collage Noir Swift, Shiny Niloticus Crocodile and Alligator Palladium Hardware

Hermès Kelly Élan Broderie Collage Noir Swift, Shiny Niloticus Crocodile and Alligator Palladium Hardware

The Broderie Collage technique on the Kelly Élan format, where six hand-cut exotic and leather appliqués are individually stitched onto a Noir Swift body with contrast embroidery. The shapes: a diamond in pink leather with a cream lizard-textured center and pink cross-stitch; an organic wave in cognac shiny Niloticus crocodile with blue and orange cross-stitch; a circle with coral leather border and red crocodile center; a triangle in green lizard with green and white cross-stitch; a split rectangle in pink and turquoise suede; and an oval in bordeaux shiny crocodile with red blanket-stitch edging. Each shape is layered, with the embroidery stitching as visible and deliberate as the skin itself.

The Kelly Élan is a flat, elongated clutch-to-shoulder format with the Kelly's sangles and turnlock closure. The elongated surface gives the Broderie shapes room to read as individual compositions rather than competing for space. The rear is clean Noir Swift. A detachable Noir Swift shoulder strap snaps into the interior. Palladium hardware with plastics intact. K stamp, 2025 current-year production. Full set.

Collector's Insight: The Broderie Collage applies hand-cut exotic leather shapes onto a Swift base using visible contrast embroidery that references traditional needlework techniques. The Kelly Élan is itself a limited-production format, and the addition of the Broderie technique with crocodile, alligator, and lizard appliqués creates a multi-exotic piece where the artisanal labor exceeds that of single-skin exotics. Current-year K stamp with hardware plastics intact indicates the shortest possible interval between boutique and secondary market.

Resale Insight: Broderie Collage pieces in the Kelly Élan format appear less frequently on the secondary market than the Kelly 25 Broderie, concentrating demand on a smaller supply. The multi-exotic content across the appliqués elevates the material category, as each shape is individually sourced and cut from different skins. The Élan format appeals to a specific buyer seeking the clutch-to-shoulder versatility that the structured Kelly 25 does not offer.
