Hermes Kelly 25 Red

The first of the “It” bags, the Hermès Kelly bag has a long and storied history rich in glamour, royalty, and supreme quality. In fact, a chronicle of 20th-century fashion would not be complete without the Hermès Kelly bag history.

The Hermès Kelly bag history began in 1892 when the atelier released the Haut à courroies. It was the first time the design house, devoted to manufacturing exquisite tack and saddles for the French nobility, released an Hermès bag. It was designed to carry a saddle, riding boots, and other essential equestrian gear. The early seeds of the Kelly and Birkin bags can be seen clearly in this original style. The signature flap that secures over the single rolled handle, leather sangles, metal plaque, and touret were all a part of the original design.
