Kelly 25

By darkseerdruh · Catalogued June 2026

Originally launched in 1935 as the 'Sac à Dépêches,' designed under Robert Dumas, with a trapezoidal silhouette, single reinforced handle, four brass feet, and a flap top secured by a double-belted turn-lock closure. The bag is older than the Birkin (which was introduced in 1984) by roughly five decades. It gained its current name after actress and Princess Grace Kelly was photographed carrying one to shield her pregnancy from paparazzi in the 1950s; Hermès officially renamed the style for her in 1977. Each Kelly is handmade by a single artisan and reportedly takes 18–25 hours and roughly 680 hand stitches to complete.

The Hermès Kelly Kelly 25 is a structured bag produced 2004–present. It measures 19 cm (7.5 in) high, 25 cm (9.8 in) wide, 9 cm (3.5 in) deep. Authentication: Dimensions 25 x 19 x 9 cm (W x H x D).
