AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Hermès Kelly 28 Sellier – Box cuir black – dating from 1959. In the last photo you can clearly see the letter O on the right strap of the bag. The letter O corresponds to the year of manufacture 1959.

Elegant Hermès Kelly 28 Sellier bag in Box black leather, the iconic model of the Parisian house, made in 1959 and in remarkable condition for its 67 years of existence.

This exemplar features the characteristics of the early Kellys: Sellier construction with clean lines, gold metal fittings, leather-wrapped handle, and black leather interior. This piece is exactly in the same vein as the one Jane Birkin had.

It comes with its lock, its two keys with leather tassel, as well as its Hermès dust bag.

An invoice for restoration carried out by Hermès ateliers, dated December 5, 1973, accompanies the bag and constitutes a provenance element more than interesting.

The whole retains a beautiful presence and an authentic patina attesting to its history.

The leather shows signs of use, consistent with its age. The gilded fittings show partial wear of the gilding.

There are also signs of use on the interior as well as visible wear on some edges, visible in the photographs.

An old and sought-after exemplar, ideal for a collector or an enthusiast of early Hermès bags, preserved in an honest and authentic condition, without heavy recent restoration.
