Kelly bag
The Kelly bag is a leather handbag created in the 1930s by the company Hermès and named after the princess Grace Kelly. It is one of the brand's iconic products, along with the carré de soie and the Birkin bag.
The Kelly is affiliated with the Haut à courroies, a large leather bag for horsesmen created by Hermès in the early 20th century. Characterised by its trapezoidal shape and small padlock, it is handmade in the group's French factories. It is designed by a single craftsman and can take up to twenty hours to make, which makes it a high-quality, long-lasting piece. Its quality and reputation make it a highly sought-after product, so much so that it is one of the few manufactured products of which second-hand price can exceed that of a new one.
