Description

Condition

This Kelly bag is in good vintage condition. The skin is Lizard and the color is black. The zipper tag is Hermes original Éclair. The shoulder strap was not purchased originally with the bag. The clochette cord is torn so please consider there is no clochette with this purchase. The cost of normal leather cord was $75 in 2010. A lizard strap (cord) may be double of that amount. The cost of a lizard shoulder strap may be around $1000 but I am not sure. There are many small scratches on the gold hardware. The handle shows normal wear but is still in great condition. The resin finish on the bag shows minor wear from normal use.   There is no strange smell on the bag. The resin on the upper left size panel where it meets the back panel a tiny tear.  The skin is not dry and the bag is still in great condition. The lizard marking of “-” was on the left of HERMES stamping originally as you see the way this bag’s marking was done.  Hermes later moved the position to the center below the stamping. The current marking is on the left side of the Hermes marking. The single line “-” has become double “=” some years ago.   The finish of exotic skins was all shiny until a matte finish was introduced. So this bag is not a matte finish lizard Kelly.
