Hermès Kelly bags

Thanks to the star of the films of Alfred Hitchcock, who became the young princess of Monaco in 1956, the Kelly remains the most emblematic of all Hermès bags.

Its distinctive shape was inspired by the ‘Haut à Courroies’, a large bag designed in 1892 for horsemen. In the thirties, with the rise of the motor car, Hermès extended its offering to leather goods and designed a travel bag with a more feminine appeal reinterpreting the ‘Haut à Courroies’ on a smaller scale.

In a famous photograph taken in 1956, Grace Kelly is shown carrying this Hermès bag. Clients started ordering this bag, asking for the “Kelly bag”, referring to the beautiful princess of Monaco. The high demand for this bag has been unfailing and in 1977 Hermès officially renamed the bag.

Today, the Hermès Kelly bag comes in eight sizes: 15 cm, 20 cm, 25 cm, 28 cm, 32 cm, 35 cm, 40 cm and 50 cm. Hermès makes it in a wide variety of types of leathers (Epsom, Togo, Clémence, Box, Swift...) and colours plus bespoke bags of great luxury and originality.
