Kelly BagBy Hermès
About the Design
In 1837, Thierry Hermès (1801–78) founded his eponymous luxury goods company in Paris as a saddle manufacturer, serving the era’s carriage trade. In 1880, under the stewardship of Thierry's son Émile-Charles, fine riding gear was added to its offerings to complement the saddles. Hermès eventually expanded their workshops to design handbags in the years that followed. The Kelly bag, originally introduced as the Sac à dépêches (“the dispatch bag”) in 1935, was created by Robert Dumas, son-in-law to Thierry's grandson Émile-Maurice Hermès.
Designed for independent women who wanted a piece that was both luxurious and efficient, the Kelly bag has a trapezoid shape, two triangular gussets, a sculpted flap and a handle.
To this day, the understated bag comprises 36 individual leather pieces, 16 studs and a signature padlock and leather key cover, with three layers of leather at the base to ensure the bag can stand upright. Each Kelly bag takes between 18 and 25 hours to produce, and its 680 hand stitches owe solely to one Hermès artisan.
The Kelly bag earned its name during preproduction on Alfred Hitchcock’s 1955 film, To Catch a Thief. Costume designer Edith Head sourced products from Hermès to outfit actress Grace Kelly, who fell in love with the Sac à Dépêches and continued to carry it long after the movie wrapped.
Months after marrying Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956, Kelly was spotted carrying a brown pigskin Sac to shield her pregnancy from the paparazzi. And while the oft-repeated claim that Kelly and her bag appeared on a Life magazine cover isn’t true, photography of the actress and her cherished accessory began to appear everywhere at the time, and the bag’s profile suddenly skyrocketed.
In 1977 Hermès officially changed the item’s name to the Kelly bag. Less than a decade later, Hermès introduced another top-handled bag to its line, also named after a style symbol, the Birkin bag.
The Paris-based British actress Jane Birkin sat next to Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas — Robert's son — on an Air France flight. He noticed her overflowing handbag, and she told him she longed for “a handbag that is bigger than the Kelly but smaller than Serge’s suitcase,” in reference to her then-romantic partner, the French musician Serge Gainsbourg. The Birkin bag was created in 1984, joining the Kelly in Hermès’ permanent collection.

Hermes Kelly 25 Craie epsom sellier Gold Hardware
By Hermès
Located in Forest Park, GA
The Hermès Kelly 25 Sellier in Craie Epsom leather with gold hardware is an elegant and timeless piece from the Maison’s most iconic collection. The Sellier construction gives the bag a structured silhouette with clean lines, while the Craie shade—an off-white chalk tone—adds sophistication and versatility, making it suitable for both day and evening wear.
Crafted from durable Epsom leather, the exterior maintains its shape beautifully over time and resists scratches, while the interior is lined with supple Chevre leather in a matching tone. The bag is accented with gold-plated hardware, including the signature turn-lock closure, padlock, and keys with clochette. A detachable strap allows the bag to be worn either over the shoulder or crossbody, in addition to the classic single top handle.
Measuring approximately 25 cm in width, this Kelly 25 provides an ideal balance between practicality and refined elegance. The interior offers one zip pocket and one slip pocket for organization. A true symbol of luxury and exclusivity, the Hermès Kelly 25 Craie...
