Hermès Kelly 28cm Rose Azalee/Etoupe HSS Clemence BGHW

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

Made from the male bull calf, Clemence has been in production longer than Togo, and at first glance appears almost identical. The grain is larger, and the leather heavier which means that bags made with Clemence tend to slouch more.

Hermès Colour

A warm soft pink, first seen in 2015, Rose Azalee sits between the super bright Rose Scheherazade and the much paler Rose Sakura.

Etoupe is one of Hermès’ most iconic and versatile neutral colours - a soft, taupe-grey with cool and earthy undertones. Subtle and sophisticated Etoupe strikes a perfect balance between grey and brown, making it one of their most enduring and wearable shades. It might be one of the cleverest colours known to the world of luxury accessories. In bright sunlight in can appear clear and uplifting: on dark stormy days it adopts a more sombre appearance. It’s considered a classic Hermes colour, produced every season of every year, and like gold (the Hermes tan) is always made with contrast white stitching.

Hardware

Made in the same way as Gold hardware, the surface is lightly brushed to create a matte, satin texture. The brushed finish reduces the visibility of any small scratches.
