Hermès Kelly 25cm Black Touch Swift/Lizard GHW

Hermès Style & Size

This used to be the smallest Kelly available and is still rather cute! It is proportionally taller than its larger and smaller cousins, which maintains a certain elegance. It works well as a bag for lunching and dining. While it can be worn cross body, it is a little too tall so looks more fabulous grasped between dainty fingers.

Hermès Material

Known as Gulliver until it was discontinued in 1999, this leather was reintroduced in 2005 as Swift. It has a fine grain which is soft to the touch and the ability to absorb dyes and reflect the light make it very popular. The drawback to Swift is that it is easily scratched so needs careful handling.

Hermès Lizard is one of the delicate exotic leathers. Sourced primarily from the Ring Lizard (Varanus Salvator), it is recognized for its small, uniform scales and elegant, glossy finish that gives each piece a jewel-like appearance.

Hermès Colour

Black Birkins have always been, and continue to be, Lilac Blue's best seller. For Hermes bags it is one of very few classic colours and is produced every season of every year. Black complements all types of wardrobes and occasions – from formal business wear to casual jeans and neutrals and whether you’re a seasoned collector or making your first purchase, it will never go out of style.

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.
