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, PochettesThe glossy finish enhances the natural scales of the exotic skin, offering a mirror-like sheen that contrasts beautifully with sleek Palladium hardware. Blue Izmir, named after the vivid Aegean waters off the coast of Turkey, is both bold and refined, a color that commands attention without overpowering. Its cool undertones lend a modern edge to this timeless clutch silhouette. Crafted in the maison’s signature Pochette shape, first introduced in the early 2000s, the bag features a single top handle, minimal hardware, and a slim, structured profile that transitions effortlessly from day to evening. As a touch of haute rarity, this piece is constructed from Shiny Niloticus Crocodile, identifiable by the dual-dot (••) hallmark near the embossed Hermès logo, signifying its premium origin from the Nile River region. This collector-grade piece is store-fresh, with plastic on hardware and pristine corners. Exotic Kelly Pochettes remain among the most elusive Hermès pieces due to their limited production and boutique-only availability, especially in luminous, saturated hues like Blue Izmir.
