The story

A long, slim clutch with the Kelly flap, turnlock and a small top handle, essentially a stretched Kelly Pochette.

It is an evening bag first, which limits how many buyers need one.

Resale sits close to retail in leather. Exotic versions are a different market and can pass $15,000.

Black and gold with palladium hardware are the safest resale choices.

Our verdict: A beautiful evening clutch that trades near retail. Buy it to wear.
