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 BagsNoir on Epsom reads as a true, saturated black with a fine, even texture, and gold hardware is the classic warm pairing against it.
Collector's Insight:
Noir Epsom with gold hardware is the most traditional Kelly specification, and the 25 has become the size most often chosen.
Resale Insight:
Epsom holds its shape and resists scratches, so buyers check the corners and flap edge, where Sellier construction takes knocks, and the handle.
