The Hermès 32cm Kelly bag is an extraordinary piece of fashion history. Not only is the Kelly 32 an exquisite example of artisan craftsmanship, durable luxury, and enduring style, it also has a romantic backstory:
The iconic trapezoid shape of the Hermès Kelly 32 was a striking departure from the ornate handbag styles of the day. The chic look took the world by storm when legendary actress, and crowned princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly was photographed holding her Hermès Sac à Dépêches bag to shield her baby bump from the paparazzi. The photograph graced the cover of Life magazine. Soon, fashionable women around the world were clamoring for the “Kelly Bag.” In 1977, Hermès made it official, rechristening the bag as the Hermès Kelly bag.
