Designed in 1935, this Hermès model came to be known as the Kelly when Grace Kelly was photographed carrying it in 1956 in a photo published in *Life* magazine, in which she used the bag to conceal her pregnancy. This model is, along with the Birkin, one of the brand’s most coveted designs—a true icon and the hallmark of artisanal craftsmanship. Its creation takes about eighteen hours and is carried out by a single artisan from start to finish.
