Hermès, the story of a House positively crowned with success.
The House of Hermès, with a global reputation for luxury leather goods, is already a household name the world over. Born in 1837, initially the brand made a name for itself in equestrian accessories before diversifying its ranges to embrace leather goods, accessories, jewellery and ready-to-wear. Hermès has played its hand brilliantly thanks mainly to the irreproachable quality of its confection techniques. The brand manages to carry off an exquisitely subtle blend of modernity and tradition, a throwback to the origins of the House of Hermès. Today, if there is one design which attracts huge levels of attention in the world of fashion, it is the impossibly famous Kelly bag.
Kelly: the world's most legendary bag.
The Kelly bag designed by Hermès is the stuff of dreams for women everywhere. It first came out in 1892 and was revisited in 1935. The new version was smaller in size and boasted more feminine curves. The design met with resounding success. The epic saga of the design came to a decisive crossroads in the year 1958. Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco, as she exited an airplane, used that very bag to attempt to hide her pregnant belly. It was soon renamed the Kelly and went on to become a symbol of inaccessible, highly-coveted luxury. In response to the needs and desires of women everywhere, a mini version of the Kelly design was eventually launched. It thus transformed into a more practical compact bag, which could be worn across the body.
