Hermes Kelly Retourne 28 Gold Finish Special Order Vert Verone/Menthe Taurillon Leather Top Handle Bag

Description

In the upper echelons of luxury goods, few objects command the historic reverence and devotion of the Hermès Kelly. Originally popularized by and named after Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco, the bag is rooted in saddle stitching heritage. However, the true apex of collecting lies in the coveted Special Order (HSS) program—distinguished by the tiny horseshoe stamp next to the Hermès embossing—which allows top tier clients to commission bespoke colorways and combinations that rarely see the light of standard retail. At 28 cm, the Kelly Retourne rests between everyday practicality and undying elegance, utilizing a retourne construction where the bag is sewn inside out and then turned, giving it a softer slouch than its rigid Sellier counterpart. Crafted from Taurillon leather, the colorway is a breathtaking custom pairing of Vert Verone and Menthe—a lively, botanical dialogue of lush greens elevated by gold tone hardware. Dated to 2019 and complete with its original orange box, dust bag, keys, lock, and strap, this pre owned Special Order Kelly represents everything a seasoned collector hunts for: rarity, narrative depth, and impeccable condition.
