Product Description
The Ethereal Icon: Hermès Kelly Pochette in Gris Tourterelle Niloticus
The Color: Sophistication in Grey
Gris Tourterelle (Color Code:81) is a high-luxury favorite because of its "chameleon" nature. Under boutique lights, it appears as a crisp, cool grey; in natural sunlight, it warms up to a soft, creamy greige. On Niloticus Crocodile, the pigment is absorbed differently across the scales, creating a breathtaking "halo" effect that emphasizes the organic beauty of the skin.
The Material: Niloticus Crocodile (••)
The Kelly Pochette's flat, structured front is the perfect canvas for Niloticus Crocodile.
-
The Pattern: Featuring the signature double-dot (••) stamp, this skin is prized for its large, square scales that taper beautifully toward the sides of the bag.
-
The Shine: In a Lisse (Shiny) finish, the Gris Tourterelle color takes on a porcelain-like glow, making the bag look like a polished gemstone.
The Hardware: Gold Finish
The addition of Gold Hardware (GHW) is a deliberate stylistic choice that prevents the grey from feeling too "cold." The 18k gold plating provides a stunning, warm frame for the Gris Tourterelle skin, creating a classic "Gris-Gold" combination that has remained a top-tier collector favorite for decades.

2026 Valuation & Investment Potential
Gris Tourterelle is often produced in much smaller quantities than Etoupe or Gold, making it significantly rarer on the secondary market. As of February 2026, "Light Grey Exotics" are seeing a massive uptick in demand as they are perceived as more "feminine" and "bridal-appropriate" than darker neutrals.
