Kelly Mini

This entry holds the Mini Kelly, the smallest version Hermès makes of the bag — the same flap over a turn-lock strap, clochette and lock, reduced to a size worn on the shoulder or carried in the hand. Another entry carries the same model, so the catalogue is split. Colour is spread widely. At this size the corners and the flap edge are effectively the whole condition, because there is no spare surface anywhere. Epsom holds its shape and resists scratching; chèvre softens and shows its grain; suede and box calf mark from everything. Check the strap holes, which stretch, and the hardware.
