World Record for a 15 cm Hermès Kelly Bag in Silver Sold for €210,000!

19-03-2025
In March 2025, Collector Square set a new exceptional sales record: a 15 cm Hermès Kelly in silver sold for the record price of €210,000!

A Rare and Record-Breaking Silver Kelly Bag

This silver Kelly bag, sold in under a week after being listed, is a spectacular creation from 1992. Produced in an extremely limited run of around one hundred pieces, it showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the house.

Demonstrating its goldsmithing prowess, the famous saddler reimagines the bag’s structure, handle, padlock, and straps entirely in silver instead of leather—creating a piece weighing nearly 500 grams! It is also accompanied by its original navy blue Box leather strap.

The silver model gained mainstream attention after being worn by model Kylie Jenner at Beyoncé’s concert in 2023. The last record for a similar bag was set by Christie’s in December 2023, at a staggering €205,000.

An Iconic Bag With Timeless Appeal

First created in 1935 and celebrating its 90th anniversary in 2025, the Kelly bag has become a defining symbol of the brand. Its value continues to soar on the second-hand market: in just ten years, the price of a classic black Box leather Kelly has increased from €6,007 to €15,301—a 155% rise, according to the LuxPrice-Index.

A World Record on the Pre-Owned Market

“The sale of the 15 cm silver Kelly bag is a world record on the second-hand market! This model is exceptionally rare, and we’re proud to offer it. This record illustrates the trust of our clients—both buyers and sellers—and the strength of our services over the past ten years (expertise, certification, guarantees, photography, etc.). We’re also seeing growing interest in luxury purchases that hold true investment value.”
