Hermès Style & Size
Spacious and ideal for accompanying you to work, the Kelly 32 is similar to the Birkin 35 in terms of size and what it can fit inside. In the soft togo or clemence leathers it is soft and pliable and opens easily but the narrow top makes fitting in a standard size laptop or document impossible.
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.
Toile refers to the woven fabric, usually cotton or a cotton blend, used by Hermès in many of its handbags often in conjunction with leather. Named after the Berline 4 wheeled horse drawn carriage Toile Berline is a more densely woven and stronger than the standard Toile H.
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 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.
