Craftsmanship & Materials

This Kelly is crafted from 100% original Epsom leather, a pressed-grain calfskin known for its lightweight feel, scratch resistance and ability to hold a crisp shape. The Sellier construction—characterised by edge piping and precise, visible seams—lends a tailored, architectural look. Hand stitching throughout the bag underscores Hermes' commitment to artisanal technique and durability.

Design & Practical Details

Designed to balance elegance and utility, the Kelly 25cm Sellier features a single rolled leather handle with a 7.5 cm drop for hand or crook carry, plus a removable leather shoulder strap with a 41 cm drop for comfortable shoulder wear. The leather draw strap closure secures with a rotating clasp that reflects the classic Kelly lock mechanism—both beautiful and functional.

Interior & Hardware

The interior is lined in Chevre leather, a soft and durable material that ages gracefully. Inside you’ll find one zipped pocket and one flat pocket to organize essentials while preserving the bag’s sleek profile. Hardware is embossed with "Hermes Paris," providing a clear sign of authenticity and giving a polished finish to the exterior. Four protective feet at the base preserve the leather when setting the bag down.

Included Accessories

  • Clochette with two keys and working padlock
  • Removable leather shoulder strap (41 cm drop)

Why Choose the Kelly 25cm Sellier Celeste?

The 25cm Kelly is a versatile size that transitions from day to evening with ease. In Celeste—a soft, sophisticated blue—it offers a contemporary yet timeless colorway that complements a wide range of wardrobes. The Sellier finish adds structure and a dressier aesthetic compared with softer constructions, making it particularly suitable for formal settings and collectors who appreciate clean lines and pronounced edges.

Care & Longevity

Epsom leather is appreciably low-maintenance compared with other luxury skins but still benefits from mindful care. Store the bag in its dust bag and keep it stuffed with acid-free tissue when not in use to maintain shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth; for deeper concerns, consult a professional leather specialist to preserve both structure and color.

Authenticity & Investment Value

This Hermes Kelly includes a certificate card and original dust bag, plus hallmark hardware embossing, clochette and padlock—important provenance elements for authentication. Hermès bags, particularly handcrafted pieces in premium leathers like Epsom and Sellier construction, historically retain or appreciate in value. The Kelly 25cm in a desirable tone such as Celeste represents both a wearable luxury and a considered investment for collectors.
