Hermès Kelly 28 Sellier Resort Gold/Bleu Celeste/Bleu Indigo Epsom/Mysore/Clemence Palladium Hardware

A limited-edition VIP allocation from the Resort 2018 collection. Gold Epsom on the body, Bleu Celeste Chèvre Mysore and Dark Blue Clemence on the side panels and trim. Each leather brings a different texture and weight to the composition: Epsom provides rigid structure on the main panels, Chèvre Mysore adds a fine grain with high color saturation on the light blue sections, and Clemence introduces a softer, heavier grain on the dark blue elements. Sellier construction holds the three-material assembly in sharp, defined edges. Palladium hardware.

Collector's Insight:
Tri-color, tri-leather Kellys are among the most limited specifications Hermès produces. The Resort collection pieces are VIP allocations not available through standard boutique purchase. The combination of three distinct leathers in a Sellier Kelly requires each material to be cut and joined to maintain consistent edge finishing across different hide thicknesses, a significantly more complex assembly than single-leather Sellier construction. This specification was produced in extremely small quantities for the 2018 Resort season.

Resale Insight:
Resort and limited-edition multi-leather Kellys trade at significant premiums over standard single-color production. The tri-color, tri-leather specification is rarer than bi-color HSS Special Orders, as these are produced at Hermès's initiative rather than client request. Kelly 28 Sellier is the most sought-after Kelly format on the secondary market, and this Resort configuration adds a layer of scarcity that standard production cannot replicate.
