The piece in detail

Some Hermès colours are investments; Blue Celeste is a mood. The house's porcelain sky-blue — named for the heavens and mixed with just enough milk to keep it gentle — appears only in occasional seasons, usually vanishing from boutiques within days. On a Kelly 28 Sellier in Epsom, it becomes something genuinely uncommon: the most formal bag in fashion wearing its lightest heart. Epsom's pressed, even grain is the ideal canvas for a pale blue of this delicacy, holding the crisp Sellier lines while keeping the colour luminous and true. Gold hardware is the masterstroke — warm against cool, sunlight on a clear sky — lending the pastel an assurance that silver-toned metal never quite manages. It is the kind of pairing that makes strangers ask, politely, what the colour is called. The Kelly itself carries eight decades of history, from the Sac à dépêches of the 1930s to the princess of Monaco who gave it her name; a colour this fresh wears all of it lightly. The 28 gives genuine everyday capacity behind the neat silhouette, equally right over linen in July and a grey coat in February. Seasonal pastels in Sellier Epsom are produced in small allocations and rarely reach clients without long histories; on the secondary market they are collected quickly and quietly. Blue Celeste in particular has developed a following among collectors who buy colour the way others buy jewellery. Our example is store fresh with the blind stamp U and its full accessories, without a mark on it. It has been through the complete authentication process of our specialists.
