Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès Kelly 35 Sellier? A: With measurements of approximately 34 x 26 x 13 cm, this size is roomy enough for daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, small toiletry pouch, notebook or tablet, and a light layer. Because the Sellier construction is structured and the top opening is fairly rigid, it tends to work best with flatter items rather than bulky ones.
Q: What does Sellier mean on a Kelly bag? A: Sellier refers to the sharper, more structured construction of the Kelly. It has crisp edges, a defined silhouette and a more formal look than a Retourne Kelly. The benefit is excellent shape retention, though it offers a little less flexibility when packing the bag.
Q: What is Courchevel leather like? A: Courchevel is a discontinued Hermès leather that is appreciated for its light weight, structured feel and subtle sheen. It is often compared with Epsom because both are textured and hold their shape well. On a vintage Kelly like this, Courchevel gives the bag a polished, classic appearance while still being relatively practical for day use.
Q: Can this Kelly 35 be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This bag includes a detachable shoulder strap, and the listed strap drop is approximately 40 cm. For most people, that is best suited to shoulder wear rather than true crossbody wear. It can also be carried by the single top handle, which has an approximate drop of 11 cm.
Q: What does the Circle X stamp mean? A: Circle X is the Hermès blind stamp for 1994, so this bag dates to 1994 production. On vintage Hermès pieces, the blind stamp helps confirm the production year, but it should always be considered alongside the leather, hardware, construction and overall craftsmanship.
Q: What comes with this bag? A: This item includes a dust bag, detachable shoulder strap, clochette, padlock and keys. Everything included with the bag is listed in the product information for this specific piece.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: The exterior is noted as Very Good, with visible wear on the handle. The interior is also Very Good, with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny and shows light scratches. Overall, it presents as a well-kept vintage piece with expected signs of age and wear.
Q: Is the Kelly 35 a good everyday or work size? A: Yes, especially if you prefer a roomier classic handbag. The 35 is one of the larger Kelly sizes and is often chosen for day use, travel and work-style carry rather than evening wear. Do keep in mind that the structured Sellier build can feel heavier once the bag is fully packed.
Q: Will a laptop fit inside? A: A slim small laptop or tablet may fit depending on its exact dimensions, but this is not the ideal bag for carrying a laptop regularly. The rigid Sellier opening gives less flexibility than softer styles, and repeated heavy loading can put unnecessary strain on a vintage handle and structure. It is better suited to lighter daily essentials.
Q: How should I care for vintage Courchevel leather? A: Wipe the bag gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, oils and over-conditioning. Store it upright in its dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain the shape, and keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight, heat and heavy moisture. Avoid overloading it, as this can stress the handle, corners and structured silhouette.
