Hermès Kelly 40 Lakis Retourne Havane Swift & Custom Camouflage Canvas Palladium Hardware
Hermès Kelly 40 Lakis Retourne Havane Swift & Custom Camouflage Canvas Palladium Hardware
The Hermès Kelly 40 Lakis in Havane Swift with Palladium Hardware is Jean-Paul Gaultier's functional Kelly—exterior zipped cargo pockets, detachable wide shoulder strap, military-inspired utility design from the early 2000s. The base bag is Havane Swift leather in Retourne construction (soft, unstructured). What makes this example distinct is the custom hand-painted camouflage applied to the canvas pocket panels by the JaneFinds Custom Shop.
The camo treatment aligns with the Lakis' cargo aesthetic—military pockets get military pattern. The 40cm format makes this a weekender or oversized carryall rather than a handbag. This is a modified piece, which means it exists outside traditional Hermès authentication parameters. For collectors who want something unique that can't be replicated, that's the appeal. Produced in 2010 (Square N stamp) and in Good pre-loved condition.

JaneFinds Collector's Note:
The Kelly Lakis is rare on the secondary market—it was never widely produced. The 40cm size appeals primarily to male collectors or those who want an oversized utility bag. This specific example is one-of-one due to the custom paintwork. It's for buyers who prioritize uniqueness over traditional resale value.
JaneFinds Market Note:
Custom-modified Hermès bags occupy a niche market. Traditional collectors avoid modifications because they affect authentication and resale liquidity. However, high-quality custom work on already-rare models like the Lakis can appeal to fashion-forward buyers who want something unrepeatable. Pricing reflects the pre-loved condition and custom status rather than standard Hermès market rates.
