Price & value: a Hermes Kelly 32 in black box leather with gold hardware (stamp M in a circle, 1983), priced below current retail reference and positioned favourably versus typical market listings.

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: Minor scratches on exterior and interior leather, light hardware wear, and slight rubbing — all consistent with age and careful use.

Restoration: Professionally refreshed by Maison Vivienne’s atelier — the leather has been gently reconditioned and waxed in its original black Box Calf colour to preserve its natural beauty and longevity.
