Hermès Kelly Danse Fringe Anate Sesame Swift Gold Hardware
Hermès Kelly Danse Anate Sesame Swift Gold Hardware
Kelly Danse II in the Anate limited-edition configuration: Sesame Swift leather with long leather fringe extending from the base. Gold Kelly tournante closure on front flap, tonal stitching throughout. Adjustable flat leather strap threads through rear D-rings, configuring the bag as a crossbody, shoulder bag (short or long drop), backpack, belt bag, or clutch (strap detached). Interior lined in tonal Sesame lambskin with one open wall pocket and a removable Swift leather base insert.
Swift is a smooth, fine-grained calfskin ; lightweight, with saturated color depth and a slight sheen. It shows scratches more readily than textured leathers (Togo, Clemence, Epsom) but minor surface marks can be buffed out with gentle pressure. The Anate fringe is cut from the same Swift hide as the body, attached along the full width of the base via a hand-laced whipstitch seam visible at the junction. Sesame is a warm tan introduced in Autumn/Winter 2021, positioned between Gold and Biscuit in the Hermès neutral spectrum ; lighter and more yellow-toned than Ébène, darker and warmer than Nata.

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
The Kelly Danse was designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier and produced from 2008 to 2013. Hermès reintroduced it as the Kelly Danse II in 2019 with updated proportions. The Anate is a limited-edition fringe variant introduced in the Fall/Winter 2023 collection, produced exclusively in Swift leather across a small number of colorways: Sesame and Moka with gold hardware; Noir, Blue Jean, Jaune Citron, and Yucca with palladium hardware. The Anate was not added to the permanent Kelly Danse II line ; it was a seasonal release. Swift is the only leather used for the Anate; the fringe requires a smooth, flexible hide that cuts cleanly and hangs without curling.
JaneFinds Market Insight:
The Anate was a single-season production. Sesame/Gold is one of two warm-neutral configurations offered (alongside Moka/Gold). This example is 2023 production in pristine condition with no signs of wear to the fringe, which is the first area to show handling on this model ; individual strands can twist, tangle, or develop creasing at the attachment points with regular use.

JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain
The JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain is hand-knotted from up to 60 varieties of natural semi-precious stones strung between lobster-clasp hardware at each end. The clasp configuration attaches directly to the sangle hardware of Hermès bags and converts the bag to crossbody or shoulder wear. The chain also functions independently as a long necklace without a bag attached.
Documented stone varieties include amethyst, apatite, carnelian, citrine, emerald, labradorite, lemon quartz, peach moonstone, peridot, Peruvian opal, pink moonstone, prehnite, rose quartz, ruby, sunstone, and tourmaline. Each stone is individually hand-knotted between adjacent stones, securing the strand against bead loss in the event of any single break. Stones are sorted into four documented colorways: Rainbow, Natural, Turquoise, and Malachite. Exact stone composition within each colorway varies by piece due to the natural variation of the source materials.
Standard length is 44 inches (112 cm), which produces a crossbody drop appropriate for Hermès bags 25 cm and smaller, including the Mini Kelly 20 II, Kelly Pochette, Constance 18 and 24, and Birkin 25. The chain can be doubled to produce a shorter shoulder drop or wrist-wrap carry, and worn as a standalone necklace at full length. Hardware (Gold or Palladium clasp) is selected at order.
Length: 44" | 112 cm
Material: Semi-Precious Stones, Hand-Knotted
Hardware: Gold or Palladium clasp (selected at order)
Colorways: Rainbow / Natural / Turquoise / Malachite
Recommended For: Hermès bags 25 cm and smaller (Mini Kelly 20 II, Kelly Pochette, Constance 18, Constance 24, Birkin 25)
Production: Hand-knotted, 7-10 business days
Note: Each chain is unique. Stones fall within the selected colorway range; exact composition varies by piece.
Styling Notes:
The chain pairs with the full JaneFinds accessory chain collection for coordinated multi-chain layering. Standard wear is single-strand crossbody; doubling produces a shorter shoulder carry. The lobster-clasp configuration matches Hermès sangle hardware proportions and does not require additional adapters.

JaneFinds Cuban Crossbody Chain
The JaneFinds Cuban Crossbody Chain converts top-handle carry of Hermès Kelly and Mini Kelly bags into crossbody or shoulder wear without altering the bag. Cuban link is a flat, twist-pattern chain construction: each link rotates 90 degrees relative to its neighbors and interlocks tightly, producing a chain that lays flush against the body rather than twisting or rolling at the strap line. The pattern is the standard reference for flat-laying chainwork and remains the most stable shoulder-strap chain construction for weighted top-handle bags.
Hardware finish is offered in Gold or Palladium to match Hermès hardware on the carrying bag. Each chain terminates in a lobster clasp at one end and a spring ring at the other, attaching directly to the Kelly's sangle D-rings without adapters. Two clip sizes are offered: Standard Clip for Kelly 25, 28, 32, and 35; Small Clip for Mini Kelly 20 II, Vintage Mini Kelly, and Mini Bolide. Link gauge is selected as Wide or Narrow at order; Wide produces a heavier, more visually present chain, Narrow a finer line.
Standard chain length is 44 inches (112 cm), which produces a standard crossbody drop for most Kelly sizes. The chain can be doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or worn standalone as a necklace. Pairs with the JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain and other accessory chain collection pieces for layered styling.
Length: 44" | 112 cm
