The Hermès Kelly Sellier 28 in dark navy Courchevel leather with Gold Hardware represents one of the most classically structured expressions of the Kelly. The Sellier construction is defined by its external stitching, sharply articulated edges and architectural silhouette, creating a noticeably more formal profile than the softer Retourne construction.
Dating to circa 1993 with a W in a circle date stamp, this vintage example is crafted in Courchevel leather — an embossed calfskin associated with earlier-era Hermès and no longer part of the Maison’s regular leather offering. Its deep navy, Bleu Nuit / indigo-like colour profile paired with warm gold hardware gives the bag a particularly timeless vintage Hermès character.
There is a lot to appreciate here beyond simply being a Kelly. The combination of Sellier construction + Kelly 28 proportions + Courchevel leather + gold hardware gives this 1993 example the structured elegance collectors associate with vintage Hermès.
Courchevel is especially interesting because it belongs to an earlier chapter of Hermès leather production. Its fine-grained, structured character works beautifully with the sharp lines of the Sellier construction, while this deep navy-indigo toneoffers almost the versatility of black with noticeably more depth under different lighting.
Importantly, the bag remains in original condition. There are scratches and signs of age, which have been transparently accounted for in our pricing rather than concealed through restoration.
