Hermès Kelly 25 HSS Sellier Braise Shiny Alligator Rose Shocking Interior Palladium Hardware

The Hermès Kelly 25 HSS Sellier in Braise Shiny Alligator with Rose Shocking Interior and Palladium Hardware is a special order configuration. HSS (Horseshoe Stamp Special Order) allows clients to customize color placement—in this case, Braise exterior with Rose Shocking interior and contrast stitching. The horseshoe stamp appears near the Hermès blind stamp, indicating special order status.

Braise is a deep brick red with brown undertones—darker than Rouge H, warmer than Rouge Sellier. Rose Shocking is a vibrant hot pink that creates high contrast against the Braise exterior, visible through the stitching along the seams. Crafted in shiny alligator with high-gloss finish that creates reflective depth in both colors. Alligator features smaller, more uniform scales than crocodile. Sellier construction with external stitching emphasizes the contrast thread. Palladium hardware provides cool-toned contrast. Produced in 2019 with D stamp and in Excellent condition with full set including CITES documentation.

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
HSS Kelly 25 Selliers in exotic skin require both special order allocation and extended wait times—typically 2-3 years from order to delivery. The Braise/Rose Shocking combination is a bold color pairing that demonstrates the full potential of HSS customization. Shiny alligator in HSS format is significantly rarer than leather HSS orders. The contrast stitching in Rose Shocking is what makes HSS distinct—standard production uses tonal stitching. The 2019 D stamp places this in the pre-2020 price increase period for exotics. CITES documentation is essential for exotic skins and confirms legal sourcing.

JaneFinds Market Insight:
HSS exotic Kelly 25s trade at significant premiums over both standard exotic Kellys and leather HSS equivalents. The Braise/Rose Shocking pairing appeals to collectors seeking bold statements rather than neutral configurations. Excellent condition with full CITES documentation commands top pricing within the HSS exotic market. The contrast stitching is polarizing—some collectors specifically seek high-contrast HSS, others prefer tonal combinations. This targets established exotic collectors rather than first-time buyers. Liquidity is narrower than neutral exotic Kellys but pricing holds strong within the HSS collector base.
