The Hermès Kelly 40 in Ebene is a compelling vintage interpretation of the house’s iconic design, distinguished by its generous proportions, deep brown hue, and the unmistakable character of Box leather.

Rendered in Box leather, the bag showcases a smooth, refined surface with a natural lustre that develops a unique character over time. Its rich Ebene tone offers a sophisticated alternative to black, while palladium hardware introduces a cool contrast to the warmth of the leather.

The Kelly 40 is a less commonly encountered size, offering a more substantial presence than its smaller counterparts. Paired with the structured elegance of the Kelly silhouette, it reflects an era of Hermès craftsmanship in which proportion, material, and construction spoke for themselves.

Dating to 2002, stamp G, this vintage example displays signs of wear throughout, including rubbing at the corners. Its condition is consistent with a well-loved piece that has lived through years of use, with the patina and wear forming part of its individual history.

A distinctive choice for collectors who appreciate vintage Hermès, the enduring appeal of Box leather, and the character of a larger Kelly.
