A Historic Icon
First introduced in the 1930s as the “Sac à dépêches,” this design became the Kelly bag in 1956 after Grace Kelly famously used hers to shield her pregnancy from photographers. The original bag Grace carried can be admired today at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Collectors prize the hermes kelly rouge h for its enduring, quietly opulent character.
