Appearance: Structured scales, either highly glazed or matte
Feel: Structured and textured
Hand: Rigid
Change over time: Develops a deep patina; shiny finish softens, while matte finish acquires a subtle glow
The story behind
Created in the 1930s, the Kelly bag was named in 1956 when Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco unveiled it to the world. Its shape and iconic details have since been adapted and redesigned to create small leather goods. Straps, claps, padlocks, leather bells and keys enhance wallets, coin purses or pouches that can be worn in many different ways.

Gold hardware on this red is warm and unapologetic. Palladium would have cooled it down too much for my taste.

It came with the strap, the lock set and the CITES certificate but no box. I wore it to an anniversary dinner and my husband said I looked like I was off to a coronation, which I took as a win. A sellier 25 in exotic is not subtle and I did not want subtle.

Shiny alligator in rouge de coeur is a very serious red.
Box, lock set and booklet all came with it. I use it as a warm weather bag mostly. Only real complaint is the open top, I hold it tighter than I would...More
Box, lock set and booklet all came with it. I use it as a warm weather bag mostly. Only real complaint is the open top, I hold it tighter than I would like on busy streets and I have started putting a small pouch inside so nothing rolls out.
