1. The Hermes Handbag for
sale:http://www.hermesbagsnew.com/
It is probably the most famous handbag in the world. Designed by Robert Dumas in the
1930's, the Kelly was unlike any other bag. It was first called "sac a courroie pour dames",
meaning bag with straps for ladies. The bag was not an immediate best seller, but
nonetheless, remained in the Hermes collection. It wasn't until 1956 that the bag, with the
help of a princess and a pregnancy, was propelled toward its iconic stature.

It seemed that no one could get enough Grace Kelly. An award winning film and stage
actress, Grace Kelly was to many a shining example of all that was 1950's Hollywood
glamour. Talented, poised, graceful and breathtakingly beautiful, Grace Kelly enchanted
audiences and individuals everywhere. In 1956, news of Grace Kelly's engagement to Prince
Rainier III of Monaco was a sensation. The press heralded the union as the "The Wedding of
the Century."
Not long after the wedding, the newly married Princess, not yet wishing to announce her
pregnancy to the world, used one of her two favorite Hermes bags to shield her pregnancy
from the prying eyes of the press. Photographs of her covering her pregnancy with her
Hermes handbag were splashed all over the world and made it onto the cover of Life
magazine. Such was Grace Kelly's influence at the time that henceforth, her essential
accessory became known as the "Kelly" bag. It was renamed the Kelly by fashionistas, but
only officially renamed 21 years later and has enjoyed an iconic status ever since.
The Hermes Kelly Handbag is crafted entirely by hand in several different sizes, leathers and
colors.http://www.hermesbagsnew.com/hermes-earrings-c-78_80.html
The most popular of the Kelly sizes are the 28cm, 32cm and the 35cm. The bag is also
produced in a 20cm (mini), 25cm and 40cm size.
Prices for these bags at an Hermes Boutique range in price from approximately $6900-$9500
USD, depending on the size and leather. Exotic skin Kelly's range in price from
approximately $17,000-$30,000.http://www.hermesbagsnew.com/
The Kelly bag is either going to be crafted with outside stitching, know as Sellier which
generally created a more structured bag (left) or with inside stitching, known as Retourne
which results in a more relaxed looking bag.
All of the bags, except the smallest, come with a removable shoulder strap as well as a lock
and keys, stored in none other than a Clochette.
Kelly's are available in several different leathers (see our leather page), each of which is

the Hermes collection from time to time, though there are leathers and colors which have
been in the line since its inception.http://www.hermesbagsnew.com/
