An iconic Hermes style, the Kelly is a highly-coveted accessory radiating of true French luxury. The legendary bag was first produced in 1935 under the name 'Sac a depeches'. In 1956, Grace Kelly was photographed carrying the handbag to conceal her pregnancy. It was shortly thereafter christened the 'Kelly'. This specific piece is crafted with exceptionally fine black Porosus Crocodile, which is recognized as the premier Hermes leather due to its exotic nature and symmetrical scale pattern. In the sellier design, it is not outlined by a thin piping along the edges. Complete with gold-plated hardware an a detachable shoulder strap, this Kelly is an un-paralleled masterpiece of elegant sophistication. Made in 1962. Stamped R. This handbag is just back from a visit to the Hermes Spa. The bottom corners and underside of the top handle show light wear. There are minor marks on the interior and hardware.
