Hermès Kelly 25 Sellier Vert Jade Epsom with Gold Hardware

The Epsom leather, in the lustrous Vert Jade shade, shimmers with a deep, emerald radiance that is both regal and seductive. This coveted hue, brought back into the limelight for the summer of 2021, is sure to make a bold statement wherever it goes. The construction of a Sellier Kelly requires more steps and a higher level of skill than a retourne, resulting in a handbag that is both beautiful and highly durable. The seams are carefully topstitched together and then treated with bees wax to protect the edges of the bag, ensuring that it will stand the test of time. The Sellier Kelly also appears larger than a retourne of the same size, making it the perfect choice for those who prefer a spacious handbag.

Sellier construction produces crisp, defined edges through external stitching. The 25cm Kelly is a scaled format that adjusts the original proportions. Interior is lined in matching Chevre leather with one zip pocket and two slip pockets. Single top handle with detachable shoulder strap.

Collector's Insight:
The Kelly in Vert Jade Epsom carries the lineage of the original 1930s sac à dépêches, renamed the Kelly in 1956. Sellier construction is produced in smaller quantities than Retourne.

Resale Insight:
The market demand for Kelly bags, particularly in the 25cm size, continues to outpace supply. This specific configuration is a staple for collectors seeking a balance of heritage and contemporary style.
