Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Hermès Kelly? A: This is a Kelly 32, a classic medium-to-large Kelly size. The bag measures approximately 31 x 23 x 12 cm, with a 10 cm handle drop and a 35 cm detachable strap drop, giving it a roomy but still refined silhouette.
Q: What typically fits inside the Kelly 32 Sellier? A: This size is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact diary or small tablet. Because the Sellier construction is structured, it holds its shape beautifully, but it does not flex as much as a softer bag. Please use the measurements in the product information for the best sense of capacity.
Q: Does this bag have interior pockets? A: Yes. According to the product information, it has a black leather lining with internal pockets, which are useful for organising smaller essentials separately from the main compartment.
Q: What does Sellier mean on a Kelly bag? A: Sellier refers to the more structured Kelly construction, recognised by its sharper lines, firmer shape and visible exterior stitching. It gives the bag a polished, architectural look that is often considered more formal than the softer Retourne version.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap. With a strap drop of approximately 35 cm, it is generally best suited to shoulder carry or wearing on the crook of the arm rather than true crossbody wear for most people.
Q: What is Box leather like to use and wear? A: Box leather is one of Hermès' most iconic smooth leathers. It is prized for its elegant sheen, structured feel and the rich patina it develops over time. It is also more delicate than grained leathers and can show scratches and marks more easily, so it benefits from careful handling and storage away from rain, friction and direct heat.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: This bag is described as being in Very Good condition. The exterior has visible scratches on the leather, the interior shows scratches, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. These signs of wear are consistent with a vintage Box leather piece and are reflected in the product information.
Q: What does the Circle T stamp mean? A: Circle T is the Hermès date stamp for 1990, so this vintage Kelly was made in 1990.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This bag comes with a dust bag, detachable shoulder strap, clochette, padlock and keys, as listed in the product information.
Q: Is the Kelly 32 a good everyday size? A: Yes. The Kelly 32 is one of the larger classic Kelly sizes and is often chosen by buyers who want a more practical day bag with elegant structure. In black Box leather with gold-tone hardware, it remains timeless and dressy, but its size generally makes it more of a day-to-evening piece than a small occasion bag.
