Discover the Hermès Kelly at The 1916 Company

The Hermès Kelly is a masterpiece of structured design and discreet luxury. Originally introduced in the 1930s and popularized by Grace Kelly, the bag is defined by its sleek trapezoidal shape, single top handle, and signature turn-lock closure.

Each Kelly is stitched by hand using Hermès's iconic saddle technique and crafted from premium leathers like Togo, Epsom, and Box calf with gold or palladium hardware. Collectors can choose between Sellier and Retourne constructions for distinct profiles and personalities. At The 1916 Company, our authenticated selection of pre-owned Kelly bags is chosen for condition, heritage, and rarity, providing access to a true symbol of elegance and precision engineering in leather form.

Its structured form, hand-stitched details, and graceful silhouette make it a perennial symbol of sophistication.
Yes. Limited availability and lasting appeal ensure the Kelly retains its value among collectors.
Sellier styles are sharp and structured; Retourne versions are softer and more relaxed in silhouette.
