Description

Even in the world of ultra-luxury handbags, Hermes is more adored by the fortunate few than any other. The Hermes Kelly was named after Grace Kelly was photographed carrying the Hermes bag. Unlike other handbags, a single craftsman works on one bag at a time with the construction of each Kelly bag consuming a whopping 18 hours. Kelly bags are investment, quality luxury items meaning that they either hold or increase their value of time. The Kelly is a true timeless classic that will take center stage of your bag collection!

The Kelly Retourne has a more relaxed shape than the Kelly Sellier. During the manufacturing process the bag is turned inside out. The result is a softer look with rounded edges. This 28cm Kelly Retourne is constructed of the classic beige toile canvas and trimmed in blue Box leather. The bag is paired with gold-plated hardware. The interior is lined in matching Chevre (goatskin) leather. A matching shoulder strap allows the Kelly to be shown off on your arm or shoulder.

The exterior is clean throughout but has scuffing and some wear to the leather trim. The bottom corners have some rubbing. The toile canvas is mostly clean with some faint spots and wear marks. The hardware has surface scratches and the padlock has darkened. The interior leather and has scuffing throughout but remains in good condition overall.
