It’s Kelly week here at PurseBop! PurseBop’s gone Kelly crazy, haven’t you heard? Follow along at #pursebopsgonekellycrazy on IG.
There’s no shortage of Hermès Kelly info on this site. Just go to the Hermès tab on our front page and scroll. The Kelly, along with the Birkin, is the Holy Grail of bags on this website. And we like to think that, by this point, we’re Kelly experts. We’ve moved beyond just being able to point out with ease on the street whether a fashionista’s Kelly is retourne or sellier. Our thought train is more something like this: shape? mini? exact size? exact color? hardware color? brushed hardware? approximate leather? contrast stitching? bag charms? twillies? strap length? You get the gist.
We’ve shared our Kelly knowledge with you on the site before, time and time again. But we have a few favorite, go-to Kelly articles that are absolute essentials. So here they are—our most-loved must-reads. Enjoy!

When it comes to famed Hermès bags, the Kelly—unlike the Birkin—remains somewhat shrouded in mystery. Although it’s had a longer history than the Birkin, the Kelly’s enigmatic aura persists, and discovering new things about the timeless handbag proves harder than one might think. Always up for a handbag-related task, no matter how tricky it might be, Pursebop dug deep this time around.
