Hermès Mini Kelly Banana Belt Bag Framboise Doblis Suede Gold Hardware
Hermès Mini Kelly Banana Belt Bag Framboise Doblis Suede Gold Hardware
The Hermès Mini Kelly Banana Bag is a distinct vintage silhouette from the 1990s that captures the maison's experimental era. Designed as a functional "waist bag" long before the modern trend, its kidney-shaped structure curves ergonomically against the body. This rare example is crafted from Framboise Doblis Suede (Veau Doblis), a discontinued velvet-finish leather known for its intense color saturation and soft hand. The rich raspberry hue is amplified by the suede's matte texture, creating a depth of color impossible to achieve in standard calfskin.
The bag features the iconic Kelly turn-lock closure on a scaled-down front flap, flanked by the "Banana" curved sides. It is designed with a convertible strap system that allows it to be worn as a belt bag, a high-crossbody, or carried as a clutch. Finished with Gold Hardware, this piece stands as a testament to Hermès' ability to merge utility with high luxury. Finding a Doblis example in this condition is an exceptional event for the vintage market.

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
The "Banana" Kelly is a cult favorite from the 1990s, celebrated for its whimsical, ergonomic shape that predates the modern belt-bag craze. Doblis suede is a discontinued material, making any example highly collectible. This specific combination of the playful silhouette with the most delicate, luxurious leather in the archive represents a peak vintage acquisition.
JaneFinds Market Insight:
Vintage small leather goods in Doblis suede are among the scarcest assets in the Hermès secondary market. Unlike standard leather vintage pieces which appear regularly, Doblis examples are often held in private collections for decades. A Framboise Banana Bag in excellent condition is a "Unicorn" find that commands a premium due to its fragility and rarity.
