If the Birkin is the world's most recognised bag, the Kelly is its most elegant. Originally named the Sac à dépêches, it was renamed in 1977 after Grace Kelly was photographed using one to shield her pregnancy from paparazzi in 1956. The 28cm Sellier construction — where the seams are sewn on the outside — gives it the most architectural, precise silhouette of all Kelly styles. In Noir Box calf with palladium hardware it is the Platonic ideal of a structured handbag.
