Hermes Post #4

The Kelly bag is so named after the actress Grace Kelly, when in 1956, the then Princess of Monaco used one of her two favorite Hermès bags to shield her pregnant stomach from the prying eyes of the paparazzi. Photographs of her covering her stomach bulge with her hallowed Hermès were splashed all over the world and made it onto the cover of Life magazine! Courtesy of handbags-luggage.suite101.com

As all designs evolved and changed, this bag remains true to its origin. The every stitch used by all Hermes artisans, the materials used, the time consumed are all painstakingly placed into making the perfect bag.



I wanted one of these Kellys in 50cm as a travel luggage! Yummy! This togo leather and toile combination makes it fine for me because it would be lighter than the full leather version. Did I ever mentioned that once the Hermes crosses 40cm, it becomes very heavy?! Courtesy of PurseBlog.com
