Iconic Hermès Handbag – 2007

A beautifully elegant Kelly 35 Retourne handbag, crafted in luxurious chocolate brown Togo leather and dating to 2007. This timeless piece represents one of the most recognisable designs in luxury fashion — a bag that has become synonymous with craftsmanship, heritage, and understated elegance.

The Kelly bag was originally created in the 1930s and later famously associated with Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco, cementing its place as one of the most iconic handbags ever produced. Its structured trapezoid silhouette, signature sangles straps, and turn-lock closure have made the Kelly one of the most sought-after designs in the world of luxury accessories.

This example is crafted in Togo leather, one of Hermès’ most popular materials. Togo is known for its supple yet structured grain, resistance to scratches, and ability to maintain its shape beautifully over time, making it ideal for everyday use. 

The Retourne construction gives the bag a softer, more relaxed silhouette compared with the more rigid Sellier version, offering a sophisticated balance between elegance and practicality.

The warm chocolate brown colour pairs effortlessly with a wide range of wardrobes, making it an exceptionally versatile luxury piece.

A timeless investment piece

Few handbags have achieved the cultural significance of the Hermès Kelly. The design has remained virtually unchanged for decades, admired for its craftsmanship and elegant simplicity.

The Kelly 35 is one of the most practical sizes, offering ample space for daily essentials while maintaining the graceful proportions that make the Kelly so distinctive. 

Owning a Kelly is not simply purchasing a handbag — it is owning a piece of fashion history from one of the most respected luxury houses in the world.
