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.

The initial release of the Mini Kelly II was met with sensational demand that has not waned in the years since. Hermès has kept production of these coveted 20cm Sellier Kelly's extremely limited, releasing small batches in a range of colors that seem to change each season. This 1 - Pristine example is rendered in highly desirable and rare Blue Sapphire Lizard, enriched by the lush gold hardware.

Sellier construction produces crisp, defined edges through external stitching. The 20cm 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:
Lizard production is constrained by raw material scarcity and limited annual output. Allocation within Hermès exotic bag production is among the most selective in the house.

Resale Insight:
The market demand for Kelly bags, particularly in the 20cm size, continues to outpace supply. This specific configuration is a staple for collectors seeking a balance of heritage and contemporary style.
