Hermès Kelly 25 Retourne Malachite Matte Alligator Gold Hardware
Hermès Kelly 25 Retourne Malachite Matte Alligator Gold Hardware
Kelly 25 Retourne in Malachite Matte Alligator with Gold hardware. Malachite is a deep, complex green — darker than Vert Emeraude, warmer than Vert Cypress. In matte alligator, each scale catches light independently, creating tonal variation across the panels that no flat-grain leather can produce.
Matte alligator has a soft hand and no surface coating to crack or peel. The finish is achieved by tumbling the skin without a final glaze — the result is lower sheen, more texture, and greater resilience to everyday contact than lisse (glazed) alligator. Retourne construction turns the seams inward, rounding the Kelly's edges and giving it a softer silhouette than Sellier. At 25 cm, the proportions read compact. Gold hardware against the dark green reads as warm and deliberate.

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
Kelly 25 in exotic skin requires matching scale pattern across a smaller surface area — every cut is visible, and the craftsperson has fewer panels to work with than in a 28 or 32. Matte alligator is selected for uniform scale size and symmetry, then tumbled to achieve the unglazed finish. Malachite as a color has been retired from Hermès production, and exotic skins in retired colors do not reappear. This is a 2019 D stamp — late enough in the color's lifecycle that fewer were produced in this combination.
JaneFinds Market Insight:
Exotic Kelly 25s command the highest per-centimeter premiums in the Hermès secondary market. Matte alligator in a retired green with Gold hardware is a configuration that cannot be reordered through current Hermès special order options. Excellent condition with a JaneFinds Extender Chain included for shoulder carry.
