While the Herm\u00e8s<\/a> Birkin often gets a lot of airtime, the Herm\u00e8s Kelly Bag in fact has a much richer \u2013 and longer \u2013 history with the house. For almost a century, the Herm\u00e8s Kelly Bag has been an icon, transcending fashion as a keepsake, an heirloom, an object of virtue. But who is the Herm\u00e8s Kelly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Herm\u00e8s Birkin gets a lot of attention, we view the Kelly bag as the richer and more fabulous sister. Keep reading if you\u2019re wondering why the Kelly bag is known as a cult classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The History Behind The Kelly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Kelly bag dates back to 1852 and was originally dubbed the \u2018Haut \u00e0 Courroies\u2019, abbreviated as \u2018HAC\u2019. This directly translates to \u2018strappy top\u2019 and was used to hold saddles for equestrians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was then reintroduced in 1935 by artistic director Robert Dumas (the grandson of \u00c9mile-Maurice Herm\u00e8s). The reinvented bag was then known as \u2018sac \u00e0 main pour la dame\u2019, which directly translates to \u2018bag for a lady\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, why was the bag did the name change in 1954? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly Behind The Kelly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

America\u2019s sweetheart turned Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly turned the handbag from fabulous to fabulously iconic. In 1956 the fashionista hid her baby bump from the paparazzi. These black and white images quickly went viral after appearing on the cover of Life Magazine in 1956, referring to the bag as \u201cThe Kelly\u201d. Herm\u00e9s officially crowned the bag in Grace Kelly\u2019s honour in 1977. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luxury Is In The Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A luxury bag is a work of art. The Herm\u00e8s Kelly is made up of 36 pieces of leather, 20 metres of thread and 680 handmade stitches to ensure that every single bag is nothing short of perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The infamous sellier (saddle stitch), is the most iconic attribute of the Kelly a slanted stitch made by using an awl (a puncture tool) to first create a hole for the thread to pass. 2 pieces of thread are then interwoven in a single line, resulting in an indestructible stitch, so that even if the thread breaks, the stitch will remain intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, this is no easy feat, each Herm\u00e8s Kelly takes 18-20 hours to make. The distinct stiff top handle is the most intricate part of the bag to be made, and takes around 4 hours, and comprises layers of leather held together by stitches and finished with hot wax to secure it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kelly Structures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are two popular Kelly structures available today: Sellier and Retourne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original style is the \u2018sellier\u2019, structured and boxy, it is stitched from the outside in, and finished with a resin edge coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018retourn\u00e9\u2019 style is stitched from the inside out. The bag is folded inside out, stitched, and then flipped back. Its edges are round, giving off a softer effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sellier Mou<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While the sellier and the retourn\u00e9 are the more widely available Kelly bags, there are more rare versions. The \u2018mou\u2019 (meaning \u2018soft\u2019) does not have the extra layer of leather lining found in other styles. This allows the bag to be foldable from the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bag is discontinued, but if you\u2019re lucky, you can find it on the pre-owned market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly Flat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Kelly Flat is also discontinued and can also completely collapse. It features a leather buckle, rather than the traditional touret (meaning turnlock) closure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available Herm\u00e8s Kelly Materials & Hardware<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Kelly is usually available in Epsom, Chevre, Box, Tadelakt and more exotic leathers like crocodile, alligator, ostrich, and lizard leather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to hardware, Herm\u00e8s only uses the best. You can find Kelly bags with gold, permabrass, rose gold, guilloche, and PVC hardware. Hard to find and completely expensive, but you can find the Kelly with diamond and 18-karat white-gold hardware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly Sizes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The traditional Kelly comes in a range of sizes. From the Micro Kelly (15 cm) to the new holy grails the Mini Kelly & Mini Kelly II (Kelly 20 cm), to the classic 25, 28 and 32, 35, 40 all in centimetres, measuring the bottom of the bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each Kelly bag has a matching strap that is 85cm long, however, straps in lengths of 70cm, 105cm and 120cm may be specially requested. Kelly bags which are larger than the Mini (20 cm) size also come with a clochette, lock, pair of keys for the lock, and even a rain jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly Versus Birkin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Kelly\u2019s only competition is its sister, the Herm\u00e8s Birkin. Similar in structure, and stature, the two share only a few differences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Birkin bag was invented in 1984, inspired by singer and actress Jane Birkin who happened to take a flight with Jean-Louis Dumas, the former Herm\u00e8s owner. Jane Birkin stuffed her trademark wicker basket bag into the overhead compartment, the contents spilt out onto the seat and aisle below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon discussing with Jane Birkin, Dumas realised that there is a gap in the market for luxury shopping bags that are spacious enough to carry a woman\u2019s essentials. Thereafter, the Birkin was born!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, besides its stature, the only substantial difference between the Kelly and Birkin is the wearer. The Birkin is a luxurious everyday piece, while the Kelly is a bag fit for a princess (literally) designed as an object of pure luxury and sophistication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
