Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès Vinyl Kelly Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 38 x 30 x 14 cm, it can hold daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, sunglasses case, cosmetics pouch, keys, a notebook, and a small tablet. It is roomy for a handheld bag, though we would not recommend overfilling a vintage vinyl piece.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: No. This piece has a single flat top handle with an approximate 4 cm handle drop, so it is designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm rather than on the shoulder.
Q: Is the bag fully transparent? A: Yes. This model is made in clear vinyl, so the contents remain visible. It gives the bag a distinctive statement look, but it is worth keeping in mind if you prefer more privacy inside your handbag.
Q: Is this the same as a classic leather Kelly? A: Not exactly. It borrows the recognisable Kelly-inspired silhouette and turn-lock closure, but this version is a lightweight vintage vinyl interpretation rather than the traditional leather Kelly construction.
Q: Why is the Hermès Vinyl Kelly considered collectible? A: The Vinyl Kelly is widely loved by vintage Hermès collectors because of its unusual clear construction and its association with limited late-1990s exhibition-era releases. It is a more playful and less commonly seen take on the Kelly shape.
Q: How should I care for vintage clear vinyl? A: Gently wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it with a clean lint-free cloth. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners, solvents, abrasive products, prolonged direct sunlight, and high heat. For storage, keep it lightly stuffed and away from dark fabrics or rough surfaces that could cause colour transfer or scratches.
Q: Can clear vinyl scratch, cloud, or discolour over time? A: Yes. Vintage vinyl can show surface scratches, clouding, or yellowing more easily than leather, especially with age, friction, heat, or sun exposure. Light traces of use are normal for this material category.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: According to the product information, the exterior and interior are in very good condition with light traces of use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches.
Q: Does this item come with anything extra? A: No additional items are included with this piece. Please refer to the product information section for the full included contents.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Hermès Vinyl Kelly? A: Authentication typically involves checking the overall construction, material quality, hardware, stamps or labels where applicable, proportions, and consistency with known vintage Vinyl Kelly details. A Retro Tale authenticates all items before sale.
