Amethyst Kelly Pochette in Shiny Alligator Mississippiensis with Gold Hardware, 2010

This Hermès Kelly pochette is crafted of Shiny Alligator Mississippiensis in Amethyst with gold toned hardware.

The bag features a single flat top handle, two horizontal interlocking straps and a signature turn lock in gold toned hardware. The short flap opens to a matching Amethyst chèvre lining with a small patch pocket. 

Released in 2004, the design is simple, a soft, Sellier constructed body with a trapezoidal shape echoing that of the full Sellier Kelly. With its true convenience factor and one-of-a-kind look, the Pochette has become a sought-after favorite among many collectors.
