A Historic Icon
First introduced in the 1930s as the “Sac à dépêches,” the design became the Kelly in 1956 when Grace Kelly famously used hers to shield her pregnancy from photographers.
The original bag Grace carried can still be seen at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum — a testament to the enduring allure of the vintage Hermes Kelly.
