Specialist note
The Kellygraphie collection was born from a mysterious find in the Hermès archives. A graphic alphabet from the 1930s, signed only ‘Mademoiselle D’, is the inspiration behind these special, limited-edition pieces. At first glance, it may appear that the geometric forms adorning the Kelly are merely decorative. Upon further inspection, the graphic figures are revealed to be letters which spell out ‘H-E-R-M-E-S’ — Can you collect them all?
