The Hermès Mini Kelly Sellier 20 in New Blue Jean Epsom is a contemporary reimagining of one of the house’s most beloved heritage blues, scaled down into a structured, palm-sized icon. Released as a “revived” version of the classic Bleu Jean, New Blue Jean offers a serene, refined blue hue that maintains the original’s white contrast stitching—a signature detail that highlights the bag’s architectural seams.
Core Design & Material
-
Leather: Crafted from Epsom calfskin, a lightweight, machine-pressed leather prized for its scratch resistance and rigid structure. This leather ensures the bag maintains its crisp, boxy Sellier silhouette even with regular use.
-
Color: New Blue Jean (often referred to simply as Blue Jean in current collections) is a fresh, mid-tone blue that pairs effortlessly with both day and evening attire.
-
Hardware: Paired with Gold-plated (GHW) that offers a classic, warm contrast that emphasizes the “New Blue Jean” tone and white contrast stitching.
-
Construction: Produced exclusively in the Sellier style (exterior stitching), which emphasizes the bag’s sharp edges and “stiff” appearance compared to larger models.

The Mini Kelly 20 II is significantly slimmer and more refined than the vintage “Mini Kelly I” models.
-
Dimensions: Approximately 20 cm L x 12 cm H x 6 cm D (roughly 8″ x 4.7″ x 2.4″).
-
Handle & Strap: Features a signature single rolled top handle with a 2–2.5 inch drop and a removable 18.5–19 inch leather strap for shoulder or crossbody carry.
-

-
Capacity: Specifically designed for essentials; it fits a small smartphone, a card holder (like a Calvi), a lipstick, and keys. Notably, it does not include a lock, key, or clochette.
