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 BagsIt features a fully lined interior with 1 main compartment and 1 flat pocket, as well as the iconic "HERMES PARIS MADE IN FRANCE" engraving on the front. The magnetized flap closure adds a touch of convenience and elegance, while the design of the clasp pays homage to the classic Kelly and Birkin bags. With dimensions of 29 cm in length, 11.7 cm in height, and up to 6 cm in width, this piece is in pristine condition and embodies the iconic SHADOW CLUTCH - HERMÈS, 2009 by Jean Paul Gaultier.
Collector's Insight:
The Kelly carries the lineage of the original 1930s sac à dépêches, renamed the Kelly in 1956.
Resale Insight:
The market demand for Kelly bags continues to outpace supply. This specific configuration is a staple for collectors seeking a balance of heritage and contemporary style.
