Description from the seller

Hermès Kelly 28 Sellier – Box black leather – 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 in Box black leather, an emblematic model from the Parisian house, made in 1959 and in remarkable condition for its 67 years of existence.

This piece features the characteristics of the earliest Kellys: Sellier construction with taut lines, gilded metal hardware, leather-wrapped handle and black leather interior. This piece is exactly in the same vein as the one Jane Birkin had.

It is accompanied by its lock, its two keys under a leather clochette, as well as its Hermès protective dust bag.

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

The whole ensemble preserves a beautiful presence and an authentic patina bearing witness to its history.

The leather shows signs of wear, 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 certain edges, visible in the photographs.

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

I remain at your disposal for any additional information or for any request of detailed photographs.
