Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès Kelly 32 Sellier? A: The Kelly 32 is considered a practical medium size for everyday use. With this bag measuring approximately 31 x 23 x 10 cm, it will typically hold essentials such as a phone, full-size wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and other daily items. As with most Sellier Kellys, the structured shape means it is best not to overfill it.
Q: Can this Kelly 32 be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This item includes a shoulder strap in the product information, so it can be worn over the shoulder as well as carried by hand. With a strap drop of approximately 43 cm, it is generally best suited to shoulder carry rather than true crossbody wear for most people.
Q: Is the Kelly 32 a good everyday size? A: Yes, many collectors consider the Kelly 32 one of the most practical Kelly sizes for day use. It offers noticeably more room than smaller Kelly sizes while still retaining the elegant proportions of the model. If you prefer to carry more than the bare essentials, the 32 is often a very versatile choice.

As with most Sellier Kellys, the structured shape means it is best not to overfill it.
Q: What does Sellier mean on a Hermès Kelly bag? A: Sellier refers to the more structured construction of the Kelly. It is known for sharper lines, firmer shape retention, and a more polished, architectural look than the softer Retourne style. Many collectors choose Sellier when they want a dressier and more formal appearance.
Q: What is Ardennes leather like? A: Ardennes is a vintage Hermès leather known for its durability, substantial feel, and grained texture. It is appreciated by collectors for being sturdy, relatively scratch-resistant, and excellent at holding the shape of structured bags such as the Kelly Sellier. It is also a discontinued leather, which adds to the appeal of vintage Ardennes pieces.
Q: Can this Kelly 32 be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This item includes a shoulder strap in the product information, so it can be worn over the shoulder as well as carried by hand. With a strap drop of approximately 43 cm, it is generally best suited to shoulder carry rather than true crossbody wear for most people.

If you prefer to carry more than the bare essentials, the 32 is often a very versatile choice.
Q: What year is this bag from? A: According to the serial number in the product information, this bag is stamped Cirkel Y, which corresponds to 1995. That places it in the vintage category and adds to its collector appeal.
Q: What accessories are included with this bag? A: According to the product information, this bag comes with a dust bag and shoulder strap. If you would like to confirm everything included, please refer to the product information on this page.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This bag is listed in Very Good Condition. The exterior shows wear and cracking on the handle, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. These signs are consistent with a well-kept vintage Hermès bag that has been used and carefully preserved.
Q: How should I care for vintage Ardennes leather? A: To preserve the leather and structure, store the bag in its dust bag, keep it away from prolonged moisture, direct heat, and strong sunlight, and avoid overstuffing it. Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Because this particular bag has wear and cracking on the handle, extra care should be taken when carrying and storing it.
Q: How do you authenticate Hermès bags like this one? A: At A Retro Tale, Hermès items are carefully inspected for authenticity by specialists who assess details such as leather, construction, stamps, hardware, and overall craftsmanship. For vintage models, features such as the blind stamp, structure, and material consistency are especially important.
