Hermès Style & Size
The Kelly 28 is a bag which moves from day to evening and comes in either the relaxed Retourne style or the more structured and boxier shaped Sellier. This was a small bag, and is now considered a medium size piece which will fit a Smartphone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, make up essentials, passport, small notebook and a pen.
Hermès Material
The shiny (Lisse) finish is created by hand-buffing the crocodile skin with agate stone, a process that draws out the leather’s natural oils to produce its signature mirror-like sheen. It achieves a fabulous, almost glassy finish which works extremely well with rich colours. This delicate surface is sensitive to water and prone to fine scratches.
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.
