Specialist note

Hermès is known for a whimsical sense of humor. The adorable Quelle Idole bag, also known as the Kelly Doll, was designed by Jean-Louis Dumas, the artistic director of Hermès. It was first released in 2000 and has become an essential trophy for handbags collectors because of its rarity and lovely looks. In the past two decades, Kelly Doll has been an exclusive handbag with very limited production.
