Hermès Rare Himalaya Kelly Retourne 28, Chanel, Louis Vuitton & More Available in Handbags & Accessories Sale
Nov 27, 2023 10:00 EST - Dec 11, 2023 11:00 ESTGrace Kelly, a Hollywood star-turned-princess of Monaco, was photographed holding an Hermès bag in the late 1950s. Legend has it that she put the bag over her stomach to conceal the early signs of her pregnancy. The bag was renamed the Kelly after it shot to international fame. The bag with straps was designed and created by Robert Dumas, son-in-law of Émile Hermès, whom he succeeded as the head of Hermès (1951 – 1978). He designed a trapezoid shape with two triangular gussets, a cutout flap, a handle, and two side straps. An Hermès White Matte Niloticus Crocodile Himalaya Kelly Retourne 28 with palladium hardware is a leading lot in the upcoming Handbags & Accessories Auction, offered by Sotheby’s. The interior of the bag is lined in Gris Asphalt chèvre leather.
A 2012 Hermès Rouge Vif Tadelakt Feather Kelly Sellier 32 with palladium hardware bag is also notable in the auction. The interior is lined in a tonal chèvre leather. The package includes a lock, two keys, a clochette, a clochette dust bag, a shoulder strap, rain coat, a dust bag, and a box. Also on offer is a fuchsia pink ostrich Birkin 25 with palladium hardware. This 2010 ostrich Birkin bag has tonal stitching, two straps with front toggle closure, a clochette with lock and two keys, and double rolled handles.
