The Kelly Danse was first designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier as a reinterpretation of the iconic Kelly bag that could be transformed into seven different bags. Hermes loves this idea of transformation, and multi-functionality; there is never a buckle or strap on their bags that doesn’t have a purpose. Here Hermes achieves this feat through genius simplicity: The classic body of the Kelly is made soft, and by adjusting the long single strap, it can be worn seven different ways: as a shoulder bag at two different lengths, crossbody, around the waist, as a backpack, a wristlet, or remove the strap entirely and carry it as a clutch. At first Hermes only produced this revolutionary design for a few seasons, quickly turning this unusual version of the Kelly into a rare collector’s piece. Just recently Hermes has re-released the design, and this store-fresh example is black in soft Swift leather with gold hardware. We don’t know how long Hermes will produce these bags for their second run, though the numbers we’ve seen so far have been extremely limited.
