HERMES Special order 32 cm Kelly saddle bag in Piment Rouge box calfskin Palladium-plated silver metal trim Pull tab, bell, keys and padlock Shoulder strap, dustbag and box Circa 2023 Very good condition On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Monegasque Red Cross, an exceptional Kelly bag, offered by the prestigious Maison Hermès, is being auctioned in a 32 cm size, in Piment Rouge box calfskin with silver palladium trim. Hermès leather is as much a work of creation as the object itself. Box, nicknamed the "king of leathers", belongs to the family of "Hermès heritage" leathers for which the company is renowned. It has been in the collections since the 1920s, and takes its name from the English "Box" tanning technique, a specific know-how that reveals all the sensuality of the material. Inspired by the universal symbolism of red, the emblematic hue associated with the Red Cross, this object embodies elegance and generosity. The lucky bidder for this rare piece will be invited, accompanied by a guest of his or her choice, to an official table at the prestigious Red Cross gala on Friday July 19, 2024. The event, of rare grandeur, will culminate in the handover of the bag in person, on the stage of the stars at the Sporting de Monaco, by His Serene Highness Prince Albert II.
