As stylish as its namesake Grace Kelly, there is no bag more timeless than the Hermès Kelly. When the Princess of Monaco used the bag to shield her pregnancy from the paparazzi, the photo made the cover of “Life” magazine and was seen all over the world. In 1974, the bag was named as “Kelly”, and it is now known as epiphany of iconic elegance. With its finest exotic skin and sparkling white diamonds, the Diamond Porosus Kelly sits at the pinnacle of the handbag world. Hermès not only manufactures impeccable leather goods, but also creates precious jeweler pieces with precision and contemporary esthetics. For this rare handbag, Hermès carefully selected high quality diamonds with VVS clarity. Porosus Crocodile is considered to be the most desirable and precious exotic skins amongst collectors of Hermès. Recognized for their nearly symmetrical scales, Porosus Crocodile skins feature a tiny pore on each scale. This small, but significant, distinction sets Porosus Crocodile bags apart from those crafted from other materials. This breathtaking bag will undoubtedly be the centerpiece of even the most impressive of collections.
