The story behind the Kelly
Created in the 1930s by Robert Dumas as a women's bag with straps: a trapezoid with two triangular gussets, a cutout flap, a handle and two side straps. It took the Kelly name in 1956, when Grace Kelly made it famous. Sellier construction keeps the seams on the outside for a more defined outline; Retourné construction turns them inside for softer edges. The leather does not decide the construction: Box calf Kellys are recorded in both.
Discover Hermès Kelly BagsThe iconic Retourne style and supple, radiant blue are reminiscent of the bold blue of the French flag. The smooth and fine-grained texture of the Swift leather perfectly complements the bag's precise craftsmanship, while the Bleu France shade adds a playful touch of refinement that is both timeless and eye-catching. The Palladium Hardware offers a cool, silvery contrast to the warm undertones of the leather, creating a contemporary appeal. Not just an accessory, this bag is a statement of luxurious style and a celebration of Hermès' artisanship - irresistible to those who desire a sophisticated pop of color and effortless elegance in their handbag collection. 1 - Pristine condition.
