Hermes Vintage Kelly 32

Rare vintage Hermès Kelly in the iconic Rouge H, featuring classic 24k gold plated hardware and a beautiful, rich patina developed over approximately 50 years.  The bag bears a Circle F date stamp, dating it to 1976. A wonderful example of an authentic vintage Kelly with the character and softness that develops naturally with age.  The leather remains in its original vintage condition and has not been recolored or refinished. The Rouge H has developed gorgeous variations in tone and sheen throughout, giving the bag a unique patina that cannot be replicated on a newer piece.  Please note that this is a true vintage bag and shows significant signs of age and use, including wear, creasing, surface marks, corner/edge wear, and cracking/wear to the top handle, all of which are shown in the photographs. The bag is being sold as-is and has not undergone restoration or repair by me.  Because the leather has not been recolored or altered, this could also be a wonderful candidate to bring to Hermès for evaluation for Spa services, should the new owner wish to have it professionally restored. Acceptance and available services would, of course, be at Hermès' discretion.  Includes the original Hermès clochette, lock and keys as pictured.  A beautiful collector's piece for someone who appreciates the charm, history, and unmistakable patina of a nearly 50-year-old Hermès Kelly.
