This bag represents the quintessence of classic luxury. Being a Kelly Sellier model in the now discontinued Courchevel leather, it is a collector's item that stands out both for its architectural structure and its durability.

The Sellier is constructed with visible exterior seams and rigid resin edges. This gives the bag a crisp, angular and highly structured trapezoidal silhouette that retains its shape impeccably over the years.

Courchevel leather is highly prized by collectors because it was later replaced by Epsom leather. It is characterized by a slightly flattened engraved grain, a subtle shine and exceptional lightness. It is famous for being very easy to clean, water and scratch resistant.

In terms of color, it boasts a sophisticate blue, which is an excellent alternative to black: offering the same versatility but with a touch of chromatic warmth under the light. The contrast between the dark blue and yellow gold brings a nautical and regal air, very traditional of the house of Hermès.

It includes the removable shoulder strap, allowing it to be worn cross-body or over the shoulder, a vital feature for modern comfort.

This piece combines the formal rigidity of the Sellier style with the practicality of Courchevel leather. It is a bag designed for a woman who values structure and neatness in her style. Being from 1993, it belongs to a "golden era" of Hermès, where manual craftsmanship was even more predominant.
