Hermès Teddy Kelly Clutch Barenia Mouton Shearling Palladium Hardware

Hermès Teddy Kelly Clutch Barenia Mouton Shearling Palladium Hardware JaneFinds Custom

A Jean-Paul Gaultier runway piece transformed. The original Teddy Kelly debuted Fall 2007—Barenia leather with Mouton shearling sides forming an open muff silhouette. Cozy, impractical, collectible. This example has been expertly modified: the sides closed to convert the muff into a functional clutch. The cream shearling now peeks from sealed seams rather than gaping open. A singular piece—the only Teddy Kelly Clutch in existence.

Barenia leather with contrast white stitching. Hermès's heritage smooth leather develops patina with age; the warm cognac tone deepens and marks become character. Palladium hardware cools the warm palette. Shearling interior visible at the edges adds texture and softness to the structured Kelly clutch format.

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
The Teddy Kelly muffs from Gaultier's 2007 collection became instant collector pieces despite limited functionality. This modification preserves the design elements—Barenia, shearling, Kelly clutch silhouette—while creating actual usability. A runway archival piece made practical without losing its provenance.

JaneFinds Market Insight:
One-of-one modifications to runway Hermès create singular objects outside standard market comparisons. The Teddy Kelly's original collector status combines with custom transformation; no comparable exists. Appeals to collectors seeking Gaultier-era Hermès with functional application.
