Description
Model History:
Inspired by the “dispatch” bag designed in the 1930s, the Kelly by Hermès owes its fame to the actress Grace Kelly, who adopted it in the 1950s. Since then, this model has embodied the sober distinction and rigor of Hermès style. The 32 cm size, introduced as an ideal compromise between functionality and elegance, is today one of the most sought-after. Togo leather, introduced by the company in the 1990s, quickly gained popularity for its lightly grained texture and durability, making it particularly well-suited to structured models like the Kelly.
Exterior details:
Togo leather is characterized by a regular grain obtained without artificial pressing, giving a matt texture that’s soft to the touch yet visually clean. This leather resists scratches well and does not sag easily, making it a preferred choice for frequent use. The shiny silver palladium finish adds a contemporary touch. The detachable shoulder strap can be carried over the shoulder or across the chest, while the dimensions – 32 cm long, 23 cm high, 12 cm deep – offer capacity for everyday use.
Interior Details:
Lined with tone-on-tone goatskin leather, the interior offers a classic, functional configuration: a large zippered pocket with a Hermès-engraved pull tab and two patch pockets. The craftsmanship, visible in the internal finishing and the saddle stitching, confirms the quality of workmanship characteristic of the House.
Product condition:
The bag is in impeccable condition. The leather retains all its structure, without sagging or deformation, and shows no visible signs of wear. Corners, handle and shoulder strap are intact. The palladium hardware is bright with a few very light scratches. All original components are present: padlock, two keys, bell, shoulder strap, dustbag and original box.
Care instructions:
We recommend keeping the bag in its dustbag, away from moisture and direct light. Togo leather, which is not very sensitive, does not require frequent care, but can be nourished occasionally with a suitable care product. Light padding during storage helps preserve the bag’s shape. Cleaning should be entrusted to a professional specialized in luxury leather goods.
