- Porosus Crocodile Mat: Exotic skin is not interchangeable with other leathers for treatment: a product intended for one may be unsuitable for another. Protect from humidity, prolonged light and extreme heat, and seek an appropriate assessment before treatment. Care Guide
Porosus Crocodile is sourced from Australian saltwater crocodiles and is considered the finest crocodile skin available, distinguished by its small, symmetrical scales.
The So Kelly reinterprets the Kelly's hardware language on a soft, slouchy hobo silhouette: a rounded bucket body carried on a single shoulder strap, with the signature turn-lock elements adapted to an open, relaxed format. The 22cm is the compact version of the line. Interior is lined in matching Chèvre leather.
Collector's Insight:
Matte Porosus Crocodile 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. The So Kelly had a short production run, making exotic examples genuinely scarce.
Resale Insight:
The market demand for Kelly-family pieces continues to outpace supply. Discontinued silhouettes in exotic skins appeal to collectors seeking pieces outside the standard Birkin/Kelly canon.
