AI-assisted summary

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 bag in Box black leather, an iconic model from the Paris house, made in 1959 and in remarkable condition for its 67 years of existence.

This piece features the characteristics of the early Kellys: Sellier construction with straight lines, golden 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 under leather clochette, and its Hermès dust bag.

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

The whole retains a wonderful presence and an authentic patina reflecting its history.

The leather shows signs of wear consistent with its age. The gold fittings show partial gilding wear.

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

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