Q: What fits inside the Hermès Kelly 28 Sellier? A: With approximate dimensions of 28 x 22 x 10 cm, this size is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, make-up, and a small pouch. It offers a structured medium-size interior, but it is not designed for larger items such as a laptop or bulky water bottle.
Q: Can this Kelly 28 be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This bag includes a shoulder strap, and the strap drop is approximately 42 cm. For most people, that makes it suitable for shoulder wear. Crossbody fit will depend on your height and proportions, but on many wearers it will sit better on the shoulder than fully crossbody.

Q: What fits inside the Hermès Kelly 28 Sellier? A: With approximate dimensions of 28 x 22 x 10 cm, this size is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, make-up, and a small pouch. It offers a structured medium-size interior, but it is not designed for larger items such as a laptop or bulky water bottle.
Q: What does Sellier mean on a Kelly bag? A: Sellier refers to the more structured version of the Kelly. It has sharper edges, a firmer silhouette, and a more polished, architectural look than the softer Retourne style. This makes it especially elegant for both day and dressier use.
Q: Can this Kelly 28 be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This bag includes a shoulder strap, and the strap drop is approximately 42 cm. For most people, that makes it suitable for shoulder wear. Crossbody fit will depend on your height and proportions, but on many wearers it will sit better on the shoulder than fully crossbody.
Q: What is Courchevel leather? A: Courchevel is a vintage embossed Hermès leather known for its lightweight feel, structured appearance, and subtle sheen. It is appreciated by collectors for helping the bag keep its shape beautifully, especially in Sellier styles.
Q: Is this bag vintage? A: Yes. The stamp is Square A, which dates this bag to 1997, making it a vintage Hermès piece made in France.
Q: What accessories are included with this bag? A: According to the product information, this bag includes the shoulder strap, padlock, clochette, keys, and dust bag.
Q: What condition is the bag in? A: The overall condition is listed as good condition. The exterior shows visible scratches and wear to the corners, edges, and handle. Inside, there is some lifting to the interior leather, pen marks, and scratches. The hardware remains shiny but has surface scratches.
Q: How should I care for Courchevel leather? A: Handle it gently and avoid overexposure to rain, direct heat, and prolonged sunlight. After use, wipe the surface lightly with a soft dry cloth and store the bag in its dust bag, ideally with light stuffing to help maintain the Sellier shape. Avoid overfilling, as structured vintage corners and edges can show wear more easily.
Q: Is the bag authenticated? A: Yes. A Retro Tale specialises in authenticated luxury vintage pieces, and this item has been vetted for authenticity before sale. If you would like more detail, you can always contact customer care for additional product information.
Q: Is Kelly 28 considered a practical everyday size? A: Yes, many collectors consider the Kelly 28 one of the most versatile Kelly sizes. It balances elegance and usability well, offering enough room for essentials while still keeping the refined proportions that make the Kelly so iconic.
