A Historic Icon
First introduced in the 1930s as the “Sac à dépêches,” the design became the Kelly in 1956 after Grace Kelly famously used hers to shield her pregnancy from photographers. The original bag Grace carried can be seen at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum.
Condition
Overall: Good pre-loved vintage condition
Details: Surface scratches to box leather outside and inside, corner wear — all consistent with age and regular wear.
