In 2026, a Kelly 25 in Epsom Sellier or Togo Retourné leather commands between £7,600 and £14,100 on the secondary market. Exotic versions (crocodile, ostrich, lizard) can reach £50,000 to over £100,000. The HSS (Horseshoe Stamp) special orders and rare colourways achieve particularly elevated premiums among collectors.
The Kelly 25 is the compact version of the Kelly bag, immortalised in 1956 by Princess Grace of Monaco. The 25 format experienced a spectacular resurgence during the 2010s under the influence of a new generation of luxury connoisseurs, who adopted it as the ultimate sophisticated statement bag. Its scarcity in boutiques has made it one of the most coveted pieces on the secondary market.
Available in Sellier (structured, stitched on the outside) and Retourné (supple, stitched on the inside) versions, the Kelly 25 retains all the grace of the original model in a more compact format. Each version requires exceptional saddlery expertise and several dozen hours of hand craftsmanship in the Hermès ateliers.
An authentic Kelly displays on its inner strap a blind stamp reading Hermès Paris Made in France, the year letter, and the atelier code. The typography must be perfectly sharp and consistently impressed. On the Kelly Sellier, the external stitching must be immaculate and slightly inclined.
The hardware (palladium or gold) is engraved with Hermès. The Kelly's signature flap fastening with its two straps and integrated padlock with keys is a defining feature of the model. The saddle stitching must be perfectly regular, with no loose threads. The interior lining bears the same stamps as the exterior.
The Kelly Sellier 25 in Epsom is particularly prized for its structured appearance. The Kelly Retourné 25 in Togo appeals for its suppleness. Exotic versions (crocodile, ostrich) are true collector's pieces. Among colourways, the classics (Black, Étoupe, Gold) are the most liquid, while pastels and rare editions command higher prices.
HAUTANE appraises every Kelly 25 according to the strictest Hermès standards. The 25 format is highly sought after by our premium clientele, often enabling sales within less than a week in consignment. Free estimate within 4 hours, immediate buyback or consignment at up to 95% of the final sale price.
The Kelly Sellier has its stitching on the outside and presents a structured, more formal appearance. The Kelly Retourné is stitched on the inside, giving a supple and more relaxed look. Sellier versions in Epsom are particularly prized for their immaculate structure; Retourné versions in Togo for their everyday softness. The Sellier commands a slight premium on the secondary market.
The Kelly 25 and Kelly 28 command similar values on classic colourways. The 25 can exceed the 28 on exotic versions or rare colourways due to its greater scarcity in boutiques.
The Sellier has visible stitching all around the bag and a structured, angular appearance. The Retourné has concealed stitching and a more rounded, supple appearance. The word 'Sellier' does not appear on the bag itself — you must identify the construction by its shape and stitching.
The classic colourways (Black, Étoupe, Gold, Bleu Nuit) are the most liquid and best retain their value. Pastels and rare colourways can achieve higher prices but with more selective demand. For a rapid sale at a strong price, the classics remain the safest option.
The Kelly Sellier is generally perceived as more formal than the Birkin thanks to its more rigid structure and its hand-carry or shoulder-strap wear options. The Kelly Retourné is closer in spirit to everyday use.
