This is an authentic HERMES leather Kelly 35 in black. A single rolled leather top handle is secured with polished gold plated hardware and an optional leather shoulder strap is included. The traditional gold Kelly turn lock secures the small flap with a padlock. A hanging leather key clochette accessorizes this handbag. The interior features two flat pockets, as well as a zippered pocket, both in chevre goatskin leather. Date code square F (made in 2002). Chèvre de Coromandel is a luxurious goat leather that Hermès has historically used on Kelly bags, especially on vintage pieces. It is prized for its elegant appearance and remarkable durability. This leather features a very fine, tight grain with subtle natural striations, giving the surface a slightly textured look while maintaining a soft natural sheen. On a Kelly bag, Chèvre de Coromandel creates a beautifully structured silhouette while remaining lightweight, making the bag comfortable to carry despite its refined construction. One of the most desirable qualities of Chèvre is its exceptional resistance to scratches and wear. The leather holds its shape extremely well over time, which helps the Kelly maintain its iconic sharp lines and crisp edges. It also develops a gentle patina with age, enhancing the richness and depth of the leather. Collectors appreciate Chèvre de Coromandel Kelly bags for their combination of durability, elegance, and rarity, as Hermès now more commonly uses Chèvre Mysore in modern production. Overall, a Kelly crafted in Chèvre de Coromandel offers the perfect balance of refinement, structure, and long-lasting beauty, making it a highly sought-after leather among Hermès enthusiasts.
