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 BagsCrafted in deep Black Togo leather and paired with glossy Nilo Lizard on the handle and sangles, this rare configuration from the Touch collection highlights Hermès’ mastery in texture contrast and subtle detail. The supple Retourne construction gives this piece a soft, elegant shape, ideal for both daily use and evening refinement.
Accented with warm Gold hardware, this Kelly captures the essence of understated luxury. The tactile distinction between the matte body and high-shine exotic trim offers both visual intrigue and elevated style. A pristine, store-fresh piece from the 2021 collection, this Kelly 25 is increasingly hard to source and immensely desirable among serious collectors.
Collector's Insight:
Lizard 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 25cm size, continues to outpace supply. This specific configuration is a staple for collectors seeking a balance of heritage and contemporary style.
