Epsom Kelly Sellier 28 Rouge Casaque

The Hermès Kelly Sellier 28 in Rouge Casaque Epsom Leather is a definitive statement piece that combines the brand’s most vibrant red with the highly structured, formal silhouette of the Sellier construction. The 28cm size is widely considered the most versatile in the Kelly range, offering a perfect balance between day-to-day functionality and evening elegance.

Core Design & Material

• Material (Epsom): A heat-pressed, machine-printed calfskin known for its fine grain and semi-matte finish. It is highly valued for its durability, being both scratch-resistant and water-resistant.

• Structure (Sellier): Crafted with external stitching, resulting in a rigid, boxy frame with sharp, clean lines. Because of its lack of flexibility, a Sellier Kelly typically holds slightly less than a Retourne model of the same size.

• Color (Rouge Casaque): A bold, vivid “true red” inspired by the jackets worn in equestrian sports. It features neutral to slightly blue undertones, providing a crisp, sophisticated saturation that is especially uniform on Epsom leather.

• Signature Hardware: Paired with Gold Hardware (GHW) for a warmer, regal aesthetic.

• Interior: Lined in matching Rouge Casaque Chevre (goatskin) leather, featuring one zippered pocket and two flat patch pockets.

Specifications & Utility

• Dimensions: Approximately 28 cm W x 22 cm H x 10 cm D (11″ x 8.5″ x 4″).

• Carry Style: Features a single rolled top handle with a 3.5-inch drop and a removable leather shoulder strap (approx. 80 cm / 31.5 inches).

• Capacity: Comfortably fits all daily essentials, including a full-size wallet, smartphone, key clochette, and a small makeup pouch.
