The story behind the Kelly Pochette
The Kelly as a small, box-like clutch, with the Kelly flap, straps and turn-lock and a top handle.
Discover Wallets, Clutches, PochettesNewly released for 2025, this refined clutch showcases the deep, sophisticated charcoal tones of Ardoise, a nuanced gray that transitions seamlessly from day to evening. The buttery-soft Swift leather offers a luxurious handfeel, allowing the subtle sheen of the gold hardware to stand out as a warm, luminous counterpoint. Compact yet impeccably structured, the Kelly Pochette distills the iconic Kelly design into a sleek, handheld form, making it the perfect companion for both formal occasions and elevated everyday moments.
As part of Hermès’ most coveted evening silhouettes, the Kelly Pochette is prized for its versatility: equally chic carried alone as it is paired with a coordinating Hermès accessory chain for shoulder wear. In Ardoise, it gains an added layer of refinement, timeless, neutral, and effortlessly Parisian.
