The story

The Kelly existed decades before the Birkin: it began in 1935 as the Sac à Dépêches, became famous after Grace Kelly was photographed using one to shield her pregnancy from cameras in 1956, and was officially renamed the Kelly in 1977.

'Sellier' means saddler: the stitching runs on the outside and the corners are sharp and structured. It is the more formal, harder-to-make version, and collectors pay more for it.

Like the Birkin, it is offered through boutique allocation rather than sold freely, which keeps the 25 and 28 above retail; the 32 sells below it.

The 25 has become the most wanted size, matching the shift toward smaller bags.

Our verdict: The connoisseur's choice. Sellier holds a premium over Retourne, and the 25 is the size to own.
