Sold prices from eBay via Terapeak, all conditions, including worn and vintage pieces. Too few sales to set the range, so the resale range is our estimate from dealer pricing.

The story

A crossbody messenger bag with a Kelly-style flap and turnlock, released in 2023.

It is newer and less chased than the classic Kelly, so supply meets demand more easily.

The few eBay sales sit just under its $14,700 boutique price.

It holds value far better than most large Hermès bags, but it is not a Kelly 25.

Our verdict: Holds near retail. Fine to buy for use, not a flip.

The Crown Index grades it C- (60/100) from real resale data, and today's call is watch. Middle-of-the-pack resale; fine to own, not one to buy expecting it to rise. Past prices are not a forecast.
