As my taste has shifted and my style has evolved over the years, my appreciation for Vintage Kelly bags have grown. When I started my “Hermès Journey” a few years ago, it was the typical Birkin in Togo and Epsom Kelly Sellier that were at the top of my list. I wasn’t new to shopping pre-owned but never thought of Hermès because of the prices that they usually go for in the pre-loved market. Then I noticed Vintage Box Kelly bags were going for around retail or even below retail. In my opinion, I find them to be the most beautiful Kelly bags. There’s just something about the box leather and when it comes to pre-loved bags, I’m a little less wary about the maintenance because they’re all at least 20+ years old by the time they make their way into my collection.

In my collection is a 1991 Vert Fonce Kelly 28 in Sellier, a 1992 Black Kelly 28 in Retourne, and a 1986 Shoulder Kelly currently at the Hermes Spa in Paris getting some much needed TLC.

Below are my Vintage Kelly bags in box, a beautiful heritage leather for the House of Hermés and links to some finds on the pre-loved market as well.
