Hermès Kelly Pochette Bicolor Black Violet Veau Doblis Suede Gold Hardware

Hermès Kelly Pochette Bicolor Black Violet Veau Doblis Suede Gold Hardware

A bicolor Kelly Pochette from Jean-Paul Gaultier's tenure at Hermès—the designer who introduced this format on his first runway for the house in 2004. This example dates to that inaugural year. Black Doblis body with Violet sangles, handle, gussets, and interior. The purple appears at every interaction point: where you grip, where you open, what you see inside.

Veau Doblis is Hermès's calf suede—a napped finish that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. The matte surface reads as softer and more textured than smooth leather. Suede in bicolor configuration is uncommon; most two-tone production appears in standard leathers. Gold hardware warms both colors, bridging the cool black and saturated violet. The suede shows some characteristic surface marks consistent with the material and age.

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
First-year Kelly Pochettes hold particular significance—2004 production represents the format's introduction under Gaultier. Bicolor suede configurations are rare; the material already limits production, and two-tone adds another variable. This Black/Violet combination is subtle from the exterior until the bag opens or the handle lifts.

JaneFinds Market Insight:
Early Kelly Pochettes from Gaultier's era trade differently than current production—provenance and scarcity layer onto inherent desirability. Bicolor suede from 2004 is effectively a one-of-few; survival rates for twenty-year-old suede in excellent condition are low.
