First designed in 1932, the Kelly was introduced as a travel bag that was referred to as the sac à dépêches. It was then renamed to the Kelly after actress Grace Kelly was photographed numerous times with the bag (most notably, while she was pregnant and using it to cover her baby bump). The impeccable craftsmanship, classic silhouette, scarcity, and unique history make the Kelly a must-have for any handbag collector. The two styles of Kelly are the Sellier (or Rigide) and Retourne (or Souple). This pre-owned, authentic Kelly Retourne 28 is crafted in brown Toffee Clemence leather and accented with gold-plated hardware. Clemence leather is a thick and durable calfskin with a medium-textured grain, known for resisting scratches, its ability to be refurbished, and a soft, relaxed feel with use.
This item is in excellent, gently used condition. As with all pre-owned luxury items, minor signs of wear may be present. Each bag is carefully inspected to meet our quality standards, but please note that subtle variations in condition are inherent to vintage and pre-owned pieces.
