The story behind the Kelly Longue
A clutch adaptation of the Kelly with a trapezoidal shape that recalls the original bag's structure, slightly wider than the Kelly Cut that replaced it. Discontinued around 2008.
Discover Wallets, Clutches, PochettesCharacterized by its generous proportions and distinctive trapezoidal silhouette, this clutch has long been a prized possession among collectors. Having been out of production for over a decade, the Kelly Longue has become increasingly elusive, making each discovery a rare delight.
Collector's Insight:
The Kelly carries the lineage of the original 1930s sac à dépêches, renamed the Kelly in 1956.
Resale Insight:
The market demand for Kelly bags continues to outpace supply. This specific configuration is a staple for collectors seeking a balance of heritage and contemporary style.
