Kelly bag story: The late Princess Grace Kelly was seen carrying an oversized Hermes bag to help conceal her pregnancy. Since that day, the star of the Kelly bag, which bears the name of the Princess of Monaco and the former movie star, who has long been considered a symbol of beauty and elegance, has risen.

To make one Kelly bag takes about 18 hours or more by one craftsman as manual labor without auxiliary machines. As for the leathers, they are made from crocodile skin from Florida and Australia, buffalo from Pakistan, shark from Thailand, lizard from Malaysia, bulls, deer, calf, goats and ostriches from around the world. To obtain them, the name must be registered on a waiting list for about a year.

The difference between his Kelly and Birkin bag:

The Kelly and Birkin Hermes bags look similar in style, being roughly rectangular in shape, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. And both have the famous Hermes lock and flap.
The Kelly bag is more traditional and classic than the Birkin bag, in fact the Kelly bag has a front flap to close the bag, while the Birkin bag does not have any flap to be more practical.

– The Birkin bag comes with a shoulder strap as an additional option, which makes it suitable for casual looks, but for the fact that Kelly does not have this option, it is a classic formal bag.

Hermes Kelly has one handle and the Birkin bag has two handles.
