Description
Model History:
The Kelly bag has its origins in the 1930s under the name “Sac à Déppés”. It became world famous in 1956 when Grace Kelly used it to conceal her pregnancy, thus giving rise to its current name. The Kelly II version subtly modernizes the proportions of the original model, while the Sellier construction, with its visible seams and sharp edges, reinforces its graphic look. The 28 cm format is particularly sought after on the vintage and contemporary Hermès bag market for its balance between elegance and functionality.
Exterior Details:
Made in black Epsom leather, this Kelly 28 Sellier has a fine and regular grain, recognized for its lightness and its impeccable hold over time. The rigid structure is highlighted by precise exterior seams, typical of Sellier assembly. Gold-tone metal finishes include the signature twist clasp, padlock, key ring bell and four protective feet located under the bag. The standard dimensions of the Kelly 28 (approximately 28 x 22 x 10 cm) offer a volume suitable for daily use while maintaining a compact and structured line.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined in matching leather, faithful to Hermès know-how. Organization includes a spacious main compartment, a patch pocket and a zipped pocket for storing personal items, wallet and phone. The rigidity of the Epsom leather combined with the Sellier construction allows the bag to perfectly maintain its shape even when it is lightly filled.
