Hermès Kelly 32 Ghillies Tri-Color Ostrich Violine, Blue de Malte & Marron Palladium Hardware
Hermès Kelly 32 Ghillies Tri-Color Ostrich Violine, Blue de Malte & Marron Palladium Hardware
This Hermès Kelly 32 is a rare "Ghillies" edition, a limited design by Pierre Hardy inspired by traditional Scottish brogue shoes. Distinguished by its decorative serrated pinking and perforated trim, this specific piece features an exceptional "Tri-Color" configuration in Ostrich skin. The main body is rendered in Violine, a vibrant and saturated purple. The signature Ghillies trim;including the corner reinforcements, flap edges, and sangles;is executed in Blue de Malte, a deep slate blue. The design is grounded by the handle and shoulder strap in Marron (Brown), creating a complex, harmonious palette.
Crafted from *Struthio camelus* (Ostrich), the skin is celebrated for its distinctive quill pattern and durability. The Ghillies detailing is particularly difficult to execute in Ostrich due to the skin's texture, requiring the artisan to carefully place the "pearls" away from the serrated edges to ensure clean lines. Accented with Palladium hardware, the cool silver tones balance the richness of the Violine and Blue de Malte pigments.

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
The Ghillies Kelly is a "Limited Edition" style that appears only sporadically in Hermès collections. Finding a Ghillies executed in Ostrich is exceedingly rare; finding one in a Tri-Color configuration is a "unicorns" discovery. This bag represents a specific moment in Hermès design history where the brand experimented with intricate leatherwork techniques (brogueing) on their most classic silhouettes.
JaneFinds Market Insight:
While the Kelly 32 has seen a shift in popularity compared to smaller sizes, unique Limited Edition pieces like the Ghillies operate on their own value curve. Collectors of this bag are looking for artistry and rarity rather than trend compliance. The distinct colorway and complex craftsmanship make it an investment-grade art piece that stands apart from standard production Kellys.
