Yesteryear has brought to us, an immortal creation that was inspired by an American actress and Monégasque princess. Grace Kelly, in order to conceal her pregnant belly from the nosy paparazzi, put forward this bag, and thus the Hermes Kelly was named after her, in the year 1956. Much after that Hermes created this Hermes Kelly Wallet enlivened by the previous version.

Design
We’ve had our fair share of handbag obsessions and the classic Kelly has been in our mind since forever. Akin to the classic version, you are blessed with all the Kelly-elements in a whole new adorable shape. The wallet has a compact, sleek and rectangular silhouette with your beloved Kelly turn lock secured with leather straps from both sides. The ever-stylish frontal flap is secured and tucked in these straps and turn lock, so you can just tell how secure your cash and cards are!
Like a cherry on top, the shiny platinum or silver hardware compliments the surface texture, though the design is minimalistic, the Kelly pattern has reached a cult status in fashion history. At the first glimpse of your Kelly and Constance wallet, you might be in a misconception that the Constance will fit slightly more, though both of these feature the same height, width and size. But, Surprise-surprise! Just open the Kelly wallet and you’ll be happy as a clam, It’s deeper and roomier than you’ve ever imagined!
Moreover, you’ll find two styles in Kelly wallets; one opens like a tri fold and other is like a long accordion pattern in a lot more seasonal colors. Everything comes with it’s pros and cons and so is this Hermes accessory, let’s take a look at its limitations too. Firstly, the opening can be a tad bit cumbersome, especially if you are stuck in a long line, people are all behind you and you just can’t open your wallet quickly and pay your cashier, quite embarrassing, isn’t it? Secondly, some believe that the protruding lock system might dent your bag’s surface.
