Hermès Kelly 20cm Rouge H Box PHW
Hermès Kelly 20cm in Rouge H Box leather with palladium hardware. The smooth Box finish highlights the depth of Hermès’ signature dark red, while the hardware provides a clean contrast.
Measuring 20 × 14 × 9 cm, the Kelly 20 is designed for evening use and occasions where only essentials are needed. The structured Sellier construction keeps crisp lines, and the top handle with detachable strap allows carrying in hand or on the shoulder. Inside, a single compartment provides space for a cardholder, keys and lipstick.
This example carries a W stamp and is in brand new condition. It comes with its Hermès receipt, confirming provenance, and represents one of the most collected sizes in the Kelly line.

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
Made from smooth calfskin, this leather is renowned for its sleek, glossy finish and structured silhouette. Over time, it develops a rich patina adds depth and sheen to the piece. Though it may show light scratches or water spots with wear, Box leather is prized for the way it ages—softening slightly while retaining its shape.
Hermès Colour
Rouge H is one of the house’s most iconic and historic colours, dating back to the early 20th century and has been used in everything from bags and small leather goods to car interiors and furniture. It is a deep, sophisticated shade of red with brown and burgundy undertones. Often described as a “brick red” or “blood red,” Rouge H (short for Rouge Hermès) is timeless and surprisingly versatile.
Hardware
Hermès Palladium hardware is made of solid brass, giving weight and durability, and then plated in precious metal. Palladium belongs to the platinum group of metals and has a brighter and whiter look than silver. More precious than gold, palladium is hard wearing and scratch-resistant.
