Hermès Kelly 35 Sellier Black Elephant Hide Gold Hardware

The Hermès Kelly 35, cloaked in Elephant hide and accented with Gold Hardware, is a unicorn in the world of luxury fashion. Available solely in this unique iteration, its rarity is amplified because Hermès hardly ever crafts items from Elephant skin. Originating from a 1980s African safari, the bag boasts a deeply sumptuous black hide and comes accompanied by its original accessories: lock, keys, clochette, and a sleeper. Showcasing the Sellier design, it exudes a crisp, structured aesthetic that sets it apart from the softer Retourne style. The Sellier's meticulous construction, highlighted by visible topstitching and edgier angles, creates an optical illusion of grandiosity, even when compared to a Retourne of the same dimensions.
