Hermès Kelly Doll Quelle Idole Matte Bleu Nuit Alligator and Black Swift Palladium Hardware
Hermès Kelly Doll Quelle Idole Matte Bleu Nuit Alligator and Black Swift Palladium Hardware
Whimsical, rare, and crafted with the highest level of Hermès artistry, this Hermès Kelly Doll “Quelle Idole” reimagines the iconic Kelly in playful form. This special edition pairs rich Matte Bleu Nuit Alligator with supple Black Swift leather, creating a tonal contrast that evokes depth and sophistication. Finished with gleaming palladium hardware, the result is a collector’s objet d’art that balances childlike charm with exceptional craftsmanship.
The Quelle Idole—French for “What an Idol”—features articulated leather “arms” and “legs,” and a charming face that comes to life using the turnlock and flap as expressive features. While playful at heart, the construction is serious: exotic skins, hand-stitched precision, and exceptional rarity. Few pieces blend joy and savoir-faire quite like this. Originally created by Jean-Louis Dumas in the early 2000s, the Kelly Doll has become a cult object among seasoned Hermès collectors—and this alligator version sits at the pinnacle of its legacy.
