Hermès Kelly Élan 28 "Plumes" Black Ostrich Feather & Chèvre Chamkila Palladium Hardware The Hermès Kelly Élan "Plumes" is a dramatic, kinetic masterpiece that redefines the boundaries of the Kelly universe. Released in 2023 as part of the re-introduction of the Kelly Élan silhouette, this limited-edition "Black Swan" is crafted from a base of Black Chèvre Chamkila—a rare goat leather prized for its high-gloss, glazed finish. The body is enveloped in cascading layers of genuine Black Ostrich Feathers, meticulously hand-applied to create a silhouette that feels alive with movement. Unlike the structured Kelly Sellier, the Élan is designed for movement and ease. It features a removable shoulder strap, allowing it to transition from a tactile evening clutch to a shoulder bag. The cool Palladium Hardware turn-lock pierces through the dark plumage, offering a sharp, modern contrast to the organic softness of the feathers. This is not merely a handbag; it is a wearable piece of couture art, embodying the "Folie" (whimsy) of the current Hermès creative direction. Condition: 1 – Pristine Stamp: 2023, B Color: Noir (Black) Material: Ostrich Feathers & Chèvre Chamkila Leather Hardware: Palladium Dimensions: 28 × 15.5 × 4 cm | 11" W x 6" H x 1.5" D JaneFinds Collector’s Insight:Feather-adorned Hermès bags are exceedingly rare and are typically reserved for the maison's highest-tier VIPs or special runway presentations. This Kelly Élan "Plumes" is a spiritual successor to the legendary Jean-Paul Gaultier "Kelly Plumes" of 2010. The use of Chèvre Chamkila leather is a specific detail that collectors prize, as its glass-like finish ensures the leather doesn't get "lost" behind the matte texture of the feathers. JaneFinds Resale Insight:The Kelly Élan is currently one of the most requested shapes in the secondary market due to the "East-West" bag trend. Limited editions like the Plumes/Folie sit in a valuation category similar to the "Kelly Doll" or "Picnic"—they are novelty art pieces that are immune to standard market depreciation. A pristine, full-set example is a blue-chip asset for the serious curator. 👜 JaneFinds Handbag Condition Guide📅 Hermès Date Stamp Guide⛓️ JaneFinds Accessory Chains📐 Hermès Size Guide
