Hermès Picnic Kelly 35 Nata Swift and Osier Wicker Palladium Hardware
Hermès Kelly 35 Picnic Nata Swift & Osier Wicker Palladium Hardware
The Hermès Kelly 35 Picnic is a triumphant revival of Jean-Paul Gaultier’s 2011 runway masterpiece, bridging the gap between high fashion and artisanal basketry. This "Store Fresh" example reimagines the original Barenia classic in Nata Swift leather—a creamy, vanilla-toned hue that lends the bag a lighter, more contemporary summer aesthetic. The body is constructed from Osier (wicker) strands, which must be selected for perfect uniformity and durability. This construction requires the collaboration of two distinct master craftspeople: a basket weaver who shapes the fragile wicker body, and a leather saddler who frames it with the precision of a Sellier Kelly.
The pairing of the rustic wicker with the pristine Nata leather and cool Palladium hardware creates a "High-Low" tension that is quintessentially Hermès. As a full-size 35cm model, this bag returns to the original scale of the 2011 release, offering a grand, sculptural presence that the "Mini" versions cannot replicate. It is a functional work of art that captures the whimsy of a countryside dejeuner with the polish of the Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
The Picnic Kelly sits in the pantheon of "Novelty" bags alongside the Faubourg Birkin and the Shadow Birkin. While the Mini Picnic (20cm) has been more prevalent in recent years, the return of the 35cm size is a significant event for collectors who value historical accuracy to Gaultier’s original vision. The Nata configuration is arguably more elegant than the original Barenia, as it avoids the patina issues associated with raw leather, maintaining a clean, architectural look.
JaneFinds Market Insight:
Picnic Kellys are "Unicorn" assets. Due to the extreme difficulty of working with wicker (which is prone to snapping during construction), production numbers are incredibly low. They command substantial premiums on the secondary market and are considered "Investment Grade" holds. The 35cm size in a modern colorway like Nata is a specific target for top-tier collectors completing a "Novelty" wing of their portfolio.
