Hermès Style & Size
The Mini Kelly II, introduced in around 2018, followed an earlier mini Kelly that existed in vintage styles from the 1980s and 1990s. With room for only the essentials the Kelly 20 has traditionally been seen as an evening bag, but the addition of a shoulder strap lends versatility, making it an increasingly popular choice for daytime wear as well.
Hermès Material
The high-gloss finish of Shiny Alligator is achieved by buffing the skin with a stone. This traditional technique compresses the surface scales and produces a natural, mirror-like sheen which can help disguise small imperfections. The central scales are rectangular, gradually tapering to smaller, rounder ones toward the edges, creating a balanced and symmetrical pattern. Alligator is signified by a small square ☐ next to the Hermes name on the bag.
Hardware
Hermès Gold hardware is made of solid brass, giving weight and durability, plated in either 18 carat gold, or for some Special Order bags, 24 carat gold and then hand polished. Choose gold hardware for a warm, luxurious finish to your bag.
