A RARE, CUSTOM MATTE GRIS PERLE ALLIGATOR & TAUPE SWIFT LEATHER QUELLE IDOLE WITH PALLADIUM HARDWARE

Jean-Louis Dumas, the Hermès chief executive from 1978 to 2006, was known to be constantly sketching. One of his playful drawings became the Quelle Idole — also known as the Kelly Doll. Released in 2000 in celebration of the millennium in limited-edition Swift-leather colourways, the Quelle Idole immediately took the handbag world by storm. Discontinued for a generation, the Quelle Idole has become one of the most sought after limited edition pieces. A 2017 piece in Grade 1 condition, this Custom Quelle Idole in an exotic is an extremely rare iteration and a very special creation, crafted of matte alligator and accented with swift leather.
