The story

The Kelly in crocodile or alligator is one of the most formal bags Hermès makes, and the structured Sellier version shows off the scale pattern best.

The Mini Kelly II in shiny Porosus is the standout: it combines the hottest size with the most coveted skin, and resells far above retail.

Larger exotic Kellys trade much closer to boutique price, because buyers paying exotic money overwhelmingly want small bags.

Exotic skins need CITES paperwork across borders, and some US states restrict crocodile sales, so check the seller can legally ship to you.

Our verdict: The Mini is a trophy. The 25 is a fair hold; the 28 is a buy-to-wear exotic.
