Product Description
The Royal Jewel: Hermès Kelly Pochette in Cassis Niloticus
The Color: Deepest Currant
Cassis (Color Code:N6) is a masterclass in saturation. It is a purple so dark it can appear almost black in low light, only to reveal its vibrant violet and plum undertones when it catches a direct beam of sunlight. On Crocodile skin, the color is incredibly multidimensional, with the glossy scales reflecting a spectrum of berry tones.
The Material: Niloticus Crocodile (••)
The Kelly Pochette's sleek, elongated silhouette is perfectly complemented by the symmetrical, large-scale pattern of the Niloticus Crocodile.
-
The Hallmark: Marked with the double-dot (••) symbol next to the Hermès foil stamp.
-
The Luster: Presented in a high-gloss Lisse finish, the Cassis skin takes on the appearance of polished obsidian with a purple heart.
-
The Craft: Because dark dyes can sometimes hide the natural beauty of the skin, Hermès artisans select only the most flawless hides for Cassis to ensure the texture remains the star of the show.
The Hardware: Gold Finish
The Gold Hardware (GHW) is the essential pairing for Cassis. The contrast between the deep, cool purple and the warm, 18k gold plating creates a palette reminiscent of Byzantine royalty. It is the most formal and high-status hardware combination for this specific colorway.

2026 Valuation & Rarity
In 2026, jewel-toned exotics are seeing a massive resurgence as collectors move away from the "all-neutral" trend toward pieces with more personality and "pop." Cassis is particularly rare in the Pochette size, as most Niloticus in this shade is reserved for larger Birkins.
