The story behind the Kelly
Created in the 1930s by Robert Dumas as a women's bag with straps: a trapezoid with two triangular gussets, a cutout flap, a handle and two side straps. It took the Kelly name in 1956, when Grace Kelly made it famous. Sellier construction keeps the seams on the outside for a more defined outline; Retourné construction turns them inside for softer edges. The leather does not decide the construction: Box calf Kellys are recorded in both.
Discover Hermès Kelly BagsOn Epsom the fine embossed grain holds the Sellier's lines and keeps the green luminous rather than deep, and gold hardware warms it into something wearable.
Sellier construction uses external stitching, producing rigid, defined lines that relax less over time than Retourne. The Kelly has a single top handle and a detachable shoulder strap.
Collector's Insight:
Vert Criquet is one of the house's modern greens, produced in seasonal windows rather than continuously.
Resale Insight:
Seasonal greens with gold hardware draw both buyers who will wear them and collectors of the color. Buyers check the corners and flap edge for wear.
