Specialist note

Crafted from natural Bog Oak wood and fauve barenia leather, the Kellywood features a front flap of barenia leather, barenia accents, white contrast stitching, two straps with center toggle closure, single rolled handle and a removable strap. This finest oak wood grows in bog, absorbing moisture and leaves the surface with a mysterious dark green sheen.

The iconic Kelly bag is dressed in wood for the first time, giving rise to this exceptional version. Kellywood celebrates the encounter of two types of expert craftsmanship: saddlery leatherwork and joinery. The fruit of an inventive procedure, almond shaped wooden hulls from a wood and metal marquetry, revealing an overlay chevron motif in aluminum that seamlessly becomes one with the material.
