✔ Featuring a sleek rectangular silhouette and structured lines,
it quickly became a classic representation of Hermès’ craftsmanship.
The renaming of the Kelly bag happened in 1956,
when Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco was spotted carrying it.
📌 While pregnant, Grace Kelly famously used her
Hermès bag to conceal her baby bump.
📌 This iconic moment was captured on the cover of
Life Magazine, instantly making the bag world-famous.
📌 From then on, the Sac à dépêches became known as
the Kelly bag, solidifying its status as one of
Hermès’ most legendary creations.
This Kelly 25 Black is crafted from
Epsom leather, one of Hermès’ most popular leathers.
✔ Originating from HAAS Tannery,
one of France’s top luxury leather suppliers.
✔ Known for its pressed, fine-grain texture,
offering a sleek and structured look.
✔ Highly scratch-resistant,
making it perfect for daily use.
📌 Why Epsom Leather?
✔ Lightweight yet incredibly durable
✔ Holds its shape beautifully over time
✔ Water-resistant and easy to maintain
Thanks to these features, Epsom leather keeps
the Kelly bag looking crisp and elegant for years.
At Thierry Studio, we directly source Epsom
leather from HAAS, one of the world's finest tanneries.
