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 BagsThis 2019 edition of the iconic Kelly is elevated by its sumptuous Rose Scheherazade interior, creating a hidden alcove of vivid contrast and splendor within the confines of its structured silhouette. The exterior's deep Bleu Marine crocodile possesses a lustrous sheen that catches the light, accentuating the scale pattern and the precise sellier stitching. It's an embodiment of the night sky, rich and enigmatic, ready to command attention in any setting. Palladium hardware adds a modern, almost industrial contrast to the organic beauty of the crocodile. Its silver tone is cool and refined, providing a harmonious balance to the warm vibrancy found inside. This Hermès Kelly is a treasure trove of design, offering a narrative of color and texture that speaks to those who dare to pair the timeless with the unexpected.
Sellier construction produces crisp, defined edges through external stitching. The 28cm Kelly is the most classic proportion for the silhouette. 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:
Niloticus Crocodile 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 28cm size, continues to outpace supply. This specific configuration is a staple for collectors seeking a balance of heritage and contemporary style.
