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 BagsKnown for its vast array of blues, Hermès offers colors ranging from the deep allure of Bleu Nuit to the vibrant charm of Bleu Zanzibar, each telling its own unique story.
This piece features a single rolled leather top handle secured with polished palladium hardware, adding a sleek touch to its refined silhouette. For added versatility, an optional leather shoulder strap is included, allowing you to carry it as you please. The traditional palladium Kelly turn-lock closure secures the small flap with a padlock, embodying the timeless design that has made the Kelly bag a true icon. A hanging leather clochette holds the keys, adding both functionality and a touch of classic Hermès charm.
Collector's Insight:
The Kelly in Blue Jean Togo carries the lineage of the original 1930s sac à dépêches, renamed the Kelly in 1956. Sellier construction is produced in smaller quantities than Retourne.
Resale Insight:
The market demand for Kelly bags, particularly in the 35cm size, continues to outpace supply. This specific configuration is a staple for collectors seeking a balance of heritage and contemporary style.
