The Kelly bag (formerly known as the Sac à dépêches) is a leather handbag designed by the Paris-based, high-fashion luxury-goods manufacturer Hermès. She used the bag to conceal her pregnant belly from the prying eyes of the paparazzi, leading to the cover of Life Magazine featuring a picture of both her and the bag in 1956. In fact, the Kelly bag was around even before Grace Kelly, then Princess Grace, brought the bag into the spotlight. The first, of the two bags on the scene, was the Kelly bag.


The Hermès Birkin bag comes in 3 sizes (25, 30, 35 cm), and 6 sizes for the Kelly bag (25, 28, 32, 35, 40 and 50 cm) with a few additional variations of the Kelly bag during special Hermès releases, including a mini and petite wallet known as the Kelly Pochette and Kelly Cut. The best way to consider buying a Hermès bag is to start with the right size. The guide below is designed to provide you with all the information needed to make that decision. However, before you can even begin to think about these options, you need to decide whether the Birkin or the Kelly is the style for you. There is size, colour, and leather to take into account. There are many choices to make when buying a Hermes Birkin or Kelly. Other items like scarves are under 6-figures and may cost between $10,000 – $30,000. Many people who purchase even one item from the Hermès collection have a budget that allows the purchase of accessories that can cost upwards of $100,000.
