Description from the seller
Hermès - Kelly 28 handbag (Sac à Dépêches) - Vintage Brown Box calf leather - Year 1953
Splendid and extremely rare Hermès "Kelly" handbag (historically called the Sac à Dépêches at that time).
A true collector’s item from French high leather goods dating from 1953.
Authenticity mark (Blind Stamp): Letter I only (no circle or square), stamped on the back of the sanglon, certifying the year of manufacture 1953.
Material: Vintage Box calf leather, the historic and iconic Hermès leather. It is characterized by its natural stiffness, smooth grain, and deep shine.
Color: Vintage brown, original patinated hue, close to Havane / Chocolate shades.
Hardware: Brass gold-toned, original gold-plated, typical of the 1950s, renowned for its great durability.
Gold leaf mark: "HERMÈS PARIS" under the flap (in keeping with the era, before the introduction of the "Made in France" mention).
Worn: Exclusively by hand.
Original design conceived without passants (loops) and without a shoulder strap.
Features and design: This model is assembled with exterior stitching (Sellier style), giving 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 unique satin reflections that are impossible to reproduce on modern leather.
