Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès Kelly 35 Retourne? A: With measurements of approximately 35 x 24 x 14 cm, this size is roomy enough for daily essentials plus extras such as a long wallet, phone, sunglasses case, cosmetic pouch, small tablet or iPad, and documents. The softer Retourne construction also gives it a more accommodating feel than a more rigid Kelly shape.
Q: Is the Kelly 35 a good everyday size? A: Yes. The Kelly 35 is one of the roomier classic Kelly sizes and is well suited to busy days, travel, or anyone who prefers a larger handbag. It offers a practical balance of elegance and capacity, especially in the more relaxed Retourne construction.
Q: What does Retourne mean on a Kelly bag? A: Retourne refers to the softer Kelly construction, where the seams are turned inward to create rounded edges and a more supple silhouette. Compared with Sellier, it generally looks less rigid, feels more casual, and can be easier to pack and carry day to day.
Q: What are the benefits of Togo leather? A: Togo is one of Hermès’ most popular grained leathers because it is durable, relatively resistant to minor scratches, and holds its shape well while still feeling softer than very rigid leathers. That makes it a particularly practical choice for a larger Kelly intended for regular use.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap, so it can be carried by hand or worn on the shoulder. Based on the listed strap measurement of approximately 41 cm, it is generally better suited to shoulder carry than a true crossbody fit.
Q: What does the Square Q stamp mean? A: Square Q indicates that this bag was produced in 2013. Hermès blind stamps help identify the production year and are one of the details collectors and specialists examine when assessing a bag.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This bag includes a dust bag, detachable shoulder strap, padlock and keys, clochette, and a service letter from Japan. Everything included with the item is listed in the product information, so if something is not listed it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in Very Good condition, with light traces of use on both the exterior and interior. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. As a vintage item, gentle signs of wear are normal and part of its character.
Q: How should I care for and store Togo leather? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid overfilling the bag, and keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight, heat, and heavy moisture. For storage, keep it in its dust bag and lightly stuff the interior to help maintain the shape.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked for authenticity by specialists who assess materials, hardware, stamps, stitching, proportions, and overall craftsmanship. The blind stamp and construction details are reviewed as part of that broader authentication process.
