AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Hermès - Kelly 28 Handbag (Dépêches Bag) - Vintage Box Calf Brown Leather - Year 1953
Splendid and extremely rare Hermès “Kelly” handbag (historically called the Dépêches bag at that time), a true collector’s piece of French luxury leather goods dating from 1953.
Authenticity mark (Blind Stamp): Letter I alone (no circle or square), stamped on the back of the sanglon, certifying the year of manufacture 1953.
Material: Vintage Box calf, the historic and emblematic leather of Hermès. It is characterized by its natural rigidity, smooth grain, and deep shine.
Color: Vintage brown (patinated original hue, close to Havane / Chocolate tones).
Hardware / Attributes: Brass gold (original gold-plated, typical of the 1950s, renowned for its exceptional durability).
Gold leaf marking: "HERMÈS PARIS" under the flap (in keeping with the period, before the introduction of the “Made in France” inscription).
Carried: Exclusively by hand. Historical model originally designed without belt loops and without a shoulder strap.
Features and design: This model is assembled with external stitching (Sellier style), which gives it superb geometric structure and a timeless trapezoidal silhouette.
The patina of the brown Box leather after more than 70 years is simply exceptional, offering satin reflections that are impossible to reproduce on modern leather."
