Hermes Birkin & Kelly Basics

Hermes Birkins come in sizes 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45cm. The 45 is a travel Birkin with slightly longer straps. Hermes Kelly bags come in sizes 20, 25, 28, 32, and 35 cm. The most popular sizes are 28 and 32. The Kelly bag is either going to be rigide (outside stitching and more expensive) or souple (softer feel, inside stitching). Hermes Kelly also comes with a shoulder strap!



For leather, there are texured and smooth varieties. The most popular leather for Birkins right now is Togo, a scratch resistant textured calf leather. You can also get smooth leathers, and goat leathers, as well as exotics. Some leathers -Togo, Clemence, Natural Barenia, Chevre - (goat,) Box (very smooth and shiny) Chamonix, are always around. Other leathers are produced for awhile, then get discontinued (Veau Graine Lisse, Courcheval for example.) These are usually the pressed leathers with a bit of texture and sheen. Some new ones are Swift and Rodeo.



Then, there is the hardware. You can get 24K plated gold, silver palladium, a more burnished ruthenium and guilloche. This is palladium hw with a diamond cut pattern on it. Fabulous and rare!!



Then there are colors. More than you can imagine. Reds, greens, oranges, browns, yellow... the most popular Birkin colors are Gold (really a rich tan color,) black and Blue Jean (a sky blue - gorgeous.)

Hermes Kelly & JPG Kelly Pouchette



I have already introduced Hermes Birkin, Hermes JPG Birkin and Hermes HAC. This post is all about Hermes Kelly. The classic Hermes handbag, known as the "Kelly" since 1956, was joined in the early 1980s by the "Birkin."

The Kelly is a touch more formal, a little more appropriate for an evening out, a business dinner, as a more refined look. The Birkin is more sporty, more casual. Often people use it as a briefcase, throw in a change of shoes. A woman who is going to wear the Kelly is of very erect stature, she comes from money, very good background, is extraordinarily educated, and life to her is one where she will be very inconspicuous.

Philadelphia-born Grace Kelly -- so blonde, so patrician -- had been wed less than a year to Prince Rainier of Monaco when she deftly obscured her royal pregnancy with a structured, crocodile Hermes purse on a 1956 Life magazine cover. Created in 1892 as a large saddle carrier -- the French fashion house started out as a saddlemaker -- the bag was downsized for daywear in the 1930s. But after its moment in Life, it was dedicated to Her Serene Highness, and, as legends often do, lives on after her.

Hermes Kelly bags come in 5 different sizes and are usually made from crocodile, alligator, ostrich-skin or plain leather. According to Miller’s guide, they are identifiable by their distinctive metal-tipped clasp, which can be closed with a tiny padlock. Swathed in leather, the clasp's hidden key often dangles from the handle.
Hemes JPG Kelly Pouchette Clutch is the fabulous clutch from Hermes. It has a small, exquisite and structured shape with a carrying belt.. Available in luscious leathers including suede, lizard, ostrich and crocodile, accentuated with rich palladium hardware, Kelly Pochette offers a sophisticated, luxurious and elegant touch. Although the size is not big, it has practical compartments and pockets to keep your necessities organized. You are undoubtedly in the limelight with this little beautiful clutch at wonderful parties or walking in the streets.
