The Hermès Kelly Retourne 32 in Pelouse Swift Leather is a vibrant, sophisticated piece that balances the relaxed “Retourne” silhouette with one of the most celebrated green hues in the Hermès archive. Pelouse (French for “lawn”) is a rich, medium-toned green that pairs exceptionally well with the smooth, luminous finish of Swift leather.
Core Design & Material Composition
-
Material (Swift Leather): Crafted from Veau Swift, a semi-matte calfskin known for its fine grain and incredibly soft, buttery texture. Swift is highly absorbent of dye, which enhances the depth and vibrancy of the Pelouse color.
-
Hardware (Metal Color): This specific model is finished with Palladium-plated (silver-tone) hardware, providing a cool, modern contrast to the organic green leather.
-
Retourne Construction: Features the “Retourne” style, where the bag is sewn inside-out and then turned, resulting in softer, rounded edges and a more casual, slightly slouchy appearance compared to the rigid Sellier style.
-
Handle & Strap: Equipped with a single rolled leather top handle and a removable Swift leather shoulder strap, allowing for handheld, forearm, or shoulder carry.
