The Mini Kelly Sellier 20 bag is one of the most iconic and coveted Hermès creations, a delicate and contemporary evolution of the famous Kelly Bag. Its origins can be traced back to the classic Kelly bag design, conceived in the 1930s and made legendary in the 1950s following its association with Princess Grace Kelly. The Mini Kelly 20 version, introduced decades later, emerges as a modern reinterpretation that retains the rigid structure and geometric lines of the Sellier style, but in a reduced format designed for special occasions and for a more versatile and urban use.
Despite its compact size, the Mini Kelly 20 has become a symbol of status and exceptional craftsmanship. Each piece continues to be handcrafted by a single artisan, following traditional techniques that Hermès has preserved for generations. Its rarity on the market and its refined silhouette have established it as one of the most sought-after bags by collectors and contemporary luxury lovers alike.
