Magnificent vintage Kelly 32 in brown Barenia leather. Barenia is one of the most prestigious smooth leathers used in the Hermès workshops. Originally crafted for saddle-making, it is now admired for its durability, authentic character, and exceptionally soft touch. It is also known for how beautifully it ages: over time, a natural patina forms, giving it a refined and lasting elegance. This graceful ageing process makes it the ideal material for bags and accessories that become even more desirable with the years. In short, the older this bag gets, the more beautiful and supple its leather becomes. This Kelly dates back to 2003 and has spent 22 years in the same family. It even features discreet embossed initials on the inside. The handle has undergone a restoration, carried out by Arcade Maroquinerie in Geneva. However, we chose to preserve the natural wear and a few marks—because that is precisely what gives this bag its charm. It will be sold with its dustbag, original shoulder strap, and the replaced parts, so you can see exactly what has been done. Complete transparency.
