⭐️ Hermès Kelly 35 Retourné in Matte Vert D'Eau Alligator with Gold Hardware (Limited Edition)
Product Summary
A truly magnificent collector's piece, this Kelly 35 Retourné transcends the definition of a handbag—it is an art object and a verifiable investment. Rendered in the breathtakingly beautiful Vert D'Eau Matte Alligator skin, this bag is a tranquil shade reminiscent of pale seafoam or glacier water. The luxurious matte finish beautifully accentuates the scales, ensuring a sophisticated, non-reflective elegance. Paired with timeless Gold Hardware, this is a legendary piece of craftsmanship and extreme rarity.
The Color & Material: Vert D'Eau Alligator
-
Color (Vert D'Eau): French for "water green," this is one of Hermès' most sought-after pastel shades. It is a cool, delicate, and surprisingly versatile light green that provides a vibrant pop of color while maintaining a refined neutrality.
-
Material (Alligator): Sourced from the Mississippiensis species, the matte alligator skin is the pinnacle of exotic leather. Its velvety soft texture and perfectly symmetrical scales make it exceptionally precious and highly limited.
-
Finish: The matte finish is preferred by many collectors for its understated elegance and how it subtly highlights the bag's flawless, natural patina over time.
Design Details & Rarity
-
Model: Kelly Retourné 35. The Retourné (turned) style features softer, rounded edges, offering a more relaxed and slightly more spacious silhouette than the rigid Sellier construction. The 35cm size is a highly practical and classic day-to-evening dimension.
-
Hardware: The warm, lustrous Gold Hardware (GHW) provides a rich contrast to the cool-toned Vert D'Eau Alligator, creating a harmonious and instantly recognizable pairing.
-
Limited Edition Status: Exotic Kelly bags in rare, non-neutral colors like Vert D'Eau, especially when combined with Gold Hardware, are produced in extremely limited quantities and are exceptionally difficult to obtain directly from the boutique, securing its status as a highly desirable collector’s piece.
