It was inspired by the Haut \u00e0 Courroies (HAC) bag which was used to hold saddles for equestrians.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This version was reinterpreted into the Sac \u00e0 D\u00e9p\u00eaches in 1930.&nbsp; From there, the bag saw another evolution into a boxier, more elegant ladies\u2019 bag.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Sac \u00e0 D\u00e9p\u00eaches was always a popular style for the brand, it didn\u2019t reach its true star potential until 1954 when <a href=\"https:\/\/saclab.com\/story-of-the-hermes-kelly\/\">actress Grace Kelly<\/a> was photographed carrying it to hide her baby bump.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This image of the glamorous, newly-married starlet appeared on magazine covers around the world and led to the bag to be nicknamed the \u2018Kelly.\u2019 Herm\u00e8s officially renamed the Sac \u00e0 D\u00e9p\u00eaches the Kelly in 1977.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelly has a trapezoidal design with two triangular gussets, a cutout flap, a top handle, and two side straps.

While pricey, the Kelly <strong>is perhaps one of the best handbag purchases you can make<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin with, the Kelly has a classic style that will never go out of style. Knowing that you\u2019ll be able to use this bag for years to come makes investing in this bag more attractive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a similar note, Kelly bags are <a href=\"https:\/\/hautesecretshoppers.com\/all-you-need-to-know-about-buying-a-hermes-kelly-handbag\/\">built to last<\/a>.

With that kind of attention to detail, you know your Kelly will hold up, no matter what you put it through.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most people purchase a Kelly with the intention of keeping it, you\u2019ll be happy to know that this model has an incredibly <a href=\"https:\/\/loveluxury.co.uk\/topics\/sell-my-hermes-kelly-bag\/#:~:text=However%2C%20Herm%C3%A8s%20Kelly%20bags%20are,not%20just%20a%20fashion%20accessory.\">high resale value<\/a> if you ever decide to trade it in. Certain models even appreciate over time, so you could end up <em>making<\/em> money on your purchase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, it\u2019s safe to say that the Kelly bag is more than worth the money spent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is It Hard to Get a Kelly?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With everything the Kelly has going for it, it should come as no surprise that getting your hands on one <strong>can be a challenge<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to purchase a Kelly bag, clients <strong>must build up a buying history at Herm\u00e8s<\/strong> and cultivate a relationship with the sales associates at their nearest boutique. If all goes well, the sales associate will contact prospective customers when a bag becomes available.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even if a bag becomes available, it may not be your first choice of style, size, or color. Sales associates cannot order specific Kelly bags and rarely know what they\u2019re receiving ahead of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have the time to wait for the Kelly of your dreams, then <a href=\"https:\/\/fashionphile.pxf.io\/PyjnMR\">reselling platforms<\/a> can be a great place to look for secondhand bags.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" id=\"f1f\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/fashionphile.pxf.io\/y2goNG\t\">view on fashionphile<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+8SZCAUv4mBaV98h4PwhszA\">view on 1st dibs<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+y8QEMfVt6VZDdreR7fDbpw\">view on farfetch<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kelly Resale Value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At 92%, the Kelly has one of the highest average <a href=\"https:\/\/realstyle.therealreal.com\/hermes-birkin-hermes-bags-resale-value\/\">resale values <\/a>of any Herm\u00e8s bag.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Smaller sizes like the Mini Kelly, the Kelly Pochette, the Kelly 25, and the Kelly 28 have the highest demand.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=613270&amp;u=3030478&amp;m=53801&amp;urllink=www%2Efashionphile%2Ecom%2Fshop%3Fsearch%3Dhermes%2Bkelly%2Bbag&amp;afftrack=\">Check out the beautiful pre-loved bags available here:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>#shrs_MAP39549_target { text-align: center;
