Hermès Kelly 28 Sellier Gold Barenia Gold Hardware
One our favorite Kelly's... A truly lovely Kelly Sellier Gold with Gold Hardware. This is a required addition to any serious collection or if you're starting out or expanding beyond your Birkin, you can't go wrong with this Kelly.
Sellier – “boxy, structured, rigid” - The Kelly Sellier has visible topstitching along the side seams and no exterior piping like the Retourne. The corners and edges are “sharper” contributing to a more boxy look. Compared the retourne, the craftsmanship of the Sellier is a little more difficult and requires more steps. The seams are topstitched together and bees wax is applied to the edges, which protects the bag from damage. Due to this method of construction, the Sellier appears larger than a retourne in the same size. Out of the two styles, the Sellier is more limited.
Barenia leather - Male calf leather contains elasticity, a matte texture, and is very delicate like tanned leather. With time, the leather’s original oil content changes the color into a maturing color with a slightly glossy touch. Barenia is buttery smooth, Like “Chamonix”, it's frequently combined with white top stitch and commonly is distinguished by natural "Hermès Made In France" blind stamps.

The term "hardware" refers to the metallic parts of the bag, such as the buckle hardware, base studs, lock and keys and/or strap, which are plated with a colored finish (e.g. gold, silver, palladium). The terms refer to the tone or color of the hardware and not the actual material used. If hardware is composed of precious solid metals this will be referenced in the description.
