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: Christie's records Box calf Kellys in both.
Discover Hermès Kelly BagsHermès is a luxury fashion brand that is synonymous with quality and craftsmanship. Known for their use of rich, vibrant colors, Hermès creates dozens of shades of red and pink that are sure to. Among these, there are a select few that truly stand out, and the Kelly 25 Retourne in Matte Alligator Framboise Pink is one such example. This breathtaking bag is crafted from the finest alligator skin, which has been dyed a beautiful shade of pink known as Framboise. The matte finish of the alligator gives the bag a sleek and modern look. The name "Framboise" is French for "raspberry," and the color is often described as a deep, rich shade of pink that is reminiscent of the fruit. The color is known for its vibrancy and saturation, making it a popular choice for luxury goods that are meant to.
Retourne construction involves turning the bag inside-out during assembly, producing softer, rounded edges. The 25cm Kelly is a scaled format that adjusts the original proportions. Interior is lined in matching Chevre leather with one zip pocket and two slip pockets. Single top handle with detachable shoulder strap.
Collector's Insight:

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.
