The Hermès Kelly bag is a quintessential symbol of luxury and elegance, with a history that enhances its allure. Originally designed by Robert Dumas in the 1930s, the bag was introduced as a women's handbag with a trapezoidal shape, cutout flap, handle, and two side straps, marking a bold and modern era for Hermès. It gained iconic status in the late 1950s when Grace Kelly, a Hollywood star turned Princess of Monaco, was photographed using the bag to conceal her pregnancy. This moment of serendipity led to the bag being renamed in her honor. Available in a variety of sizes from the Mini Kelly 20 to the Kelly 50, the Kelly bag caters to diverse preferences and needs, with the smaller sizes such as the Kelly 25 and Kelly 28 being particularly popular for their everyday utility. Each size is denoted by the width of its base in centimeters, indicating a precise measure of its dimensions. The Kelly bag is crafted in several exquisite materials and finishes, including the sought-after exotic skins like crocodile, alligator, and ostrich, each lending a unique texture and appearance to the bag. Among the most prized is the Himalaya Kelly, made from Niloticus crocodile skin with a color gradient meant to evoke the Himalayan mountains, recognized for its rarity and beauty. Hermès has also introduced various iterations of the Kelly bag over the years, including clutches and versions inspired by the bag's design, such as the Kelly Danse and the Kelly Dépêches Briefcase. Each variant maintains the bag's classic features while offering a unique take on its iconic design.
