Experience the timeless allure of a true fashion icon with this Hermès Kelly 28cm in exquisite navy matte Porosus Crocodile leather, accented with gleaming gold hardware. This coveted accessory is a testament to Hermès' unparalleled craftsmanship and the epitome of luxury handbags. Originally purchased in the vibrant city of Las Vegas in 2003, this vintage piece carries the unique date stamp E, marking its authenticity and storied history.
The deep navy hue of the crocodile leather offers a sophisticated contrast to the shimmering gold hardware, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate classic elegance with a modern twist. The bag features a lock and key, along with a convenient shoulder strap, adding versatility to its chic silhouette.
While this preloved treasure shows gentle signs of its journey, including some wear on the bottom corners and feet, its matte finish remains soft and pliable, retaining the luxurious feel that Hermès is renowned for. The gold hardware, having been thoughtfully replaced three years ago, shines with brilliance, showcasing minor scratches that add character to its storied past.
Inside, the lining bears a slight mark, a subtle reminder of its authenticity and enduring charm.

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
This effect is achieved by gentle hand buffing with felt to enhance the natural texture leaving a completely matte finish with a subtle shine. The Porosus Crocodile has smaller, more symmetrical scales in a more uniform pattern than the Nilocitus and the matte finish means marks and slight scratches are less visible. Porosus crocodile is signified by a caret ^ symbol next to the Hermes name on the bag.
Hermès Colour
An exceptionally dark blue that offers a sophisticated alternative to black.
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.
