The bag was originally created in 2004 as a bespoke special order for a VIP Hermès collector and Greek fashion executive, Lakis Gavalas (often cited as Lakis Cavalis or Zavala). He requested that Hermès add zippered exterior utility pockets to the standard classic Kelly design. Under the creative direction of Jean Paul Gaultier, Hermès adapted the design and officially released the Kelly Lakis to the broader public in 2006. It famously features two front zip pockets, one large rear zip pocket, and an extra-wide sportier Amazone canvas and leather shoulder strap, giving it a distinct "utilitarian chic" appearance. This bag was made in 2004 when it was not yet released to the broader public. The product is a rare and highly sought-after Hermès Kelly Lakis 40 leather handbag from 2004 in black leather. This large rectangular satchel/top handle bag features a solid pattern with silver hardware accents and stitching details. It comes with a detachable strap, all made of black leather to match the exterior, lock, key , clochette, dust bag.
