Hermès Kelly 32 Retourne Vert Claire & Rouge Vif Courchevel Gold Hardware - 1995
Hermès does color like no one else, and shades like these, which have maintained their brilliance for decades, are testament to that statement. This rare 1995 Kelly, which has been exceptionally well maintained, is done in vibrant contrasting Vert Claire (the predecessor to Vert Bengale, which itself is the predecessor to Bamboo) and Rouge Vif (still produced today), both in Courchevel leather (the predecessor to Epsom), with gleaming gold hardware. Beyond that, this bag has one of the best features you can find in a vintage Kelly: the wide Amazone Canvas shoulder strap. These big comfy straps are highly prized additions to Kelly's of all ages, and are generally only available upon special order.

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.
