Hermès Kelly
The Kelly handbag is not sold in the Hermès online store, so no alert can bring you one. What carries the Kelly name online is the Dépêches line: the Dépêches 25 pouch at £7,530 in Togo and the Dépêches 36 briefcase at £9,530, plus the Kelly To Go wallet. This page shows what we have actually recorded.
The Kelly bag is not sold online
Hermès does not list the Kelly handbag on hermes.com. It is a boutique purchase, and no monitoring service can change that: we watch the online store, and a bag that never appears there can never trigger an alert. If someone offers you Kelly alerts, they are selling you something the store does not do.
That is why this page is not a Kelly buying guide. It is a record of the items sold under the Kelly name that do appear online, with the dimensions and prices Hermès published for them and our own count of how often they showed up.
What carries the Kelly name online
The Dépêches line is flat and rectangular, built around the Kelly closure: two straps over a turn lock. The Dépêches 25 is a pouch, big enough for a tablet and papers and meant to be carried in the hand or under the arm. The Dépêches 36 is a briefcase, listed by Hermès with a shoulder strap.
The third item is the Kelly To Go, a long wallet with a strap, which we also track. It is in our catalogue, but we have not recorded it in the online store since our figures began, so it has no row of its own in the table below.
Kelly Dépêches sizes
| Model | Dimensions, cm | Dimensions, inches | What fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kelly depeches 25 | 25.5 × 20 × 4 | 10.0″ × 7.9″ × 1.6″ | Tablet, papers, phone, card case |
| Kelly depeches 36 | 36.6 × 29 × 5 | 14.4″ × 11.4″ × 2.0″ | A4 documents, laptop, folder |
| Kelly depeches 25 monochrome | 25.4 × 20.1 × 4.1 | 10.0″ × 7.9″ × 1.6″ | Tablet, papers, phone, card case |
What fits
The Dépêches 25 is 25.5 × 20 × 4 cm. An A5 sheet of 21 × 14.8 cm slips in easily and a tablet lies flat; a bank card at 8.6 × 5.4 cm disappears into it. At 4 cm deep it is a pouch for flat things, not a day bag.
The Dépêches 36 is 36.6 × 29 × 5 cm, which takes an A4 sheet of 29.7 × 21 cm with room around it, so documents and a laptop go in without folding. The monochrome version of the 25, with black PVD hardware instead of palladium, measures 25.4 × 20.1 × 4.1 cm — the same pouch to within a millimetre.

Leathers and colours
Four leathers appear across the Dépêches line. Togo and Epsom are the two everyday grains: Togo is matt with a round, irregular grain, Epsom is printed, firmer and holds its shape. Box calfskin is smooth and glossy and takes a patina; Barenia Faubourg is the most expensive and darkens in the areas most exposed.
| Leather | Appearance | Feel | Over time | Sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Togosince 1997 | Matt; round and irregular grain; veins and wrinkles often visible and very pronounced | Dry; quite responsive; well-rounded | Softens | depeches-25, depeches-36 |
| Barenia Faubourgsince 2016 | A minuscule printed grain which reproduces a drum grain | Waxy; velvety | Acquires a patina like Barenia; darkens in the most exposed areas | depeches-25 |
| Boxsince 1920 | Smooth and glossy; deep tone; long, fine grain | Polished and ultra-smooth | Delicate; sensitive to scratches at first, acquires a beautiful patina; the glossiness fades; keeps its shape | depeches-25 |
| Epsomsince 2004 | Small, regular and slightly glossy grain; uniform; deep colors | Dry, with a slightly "up and down" grain | Keeps its shape, scratch-resistant. The grain fades in areas exposed to a lot of contact or rubbing | depeches-25, depeches-36 |

Is the Kelly available online
This section comes from our own monitoring of the Hermès online store, not from Hermès. The handbag has no row because it is never listed; the rows below are the Dépêches pouch and briefcase. One appearance is one item seen within one hour, however many colours were listed at the same time.
| Size | Last seen online | Appearances | Average gap | Storefronts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kelly Dépêches 25 | 21 September 2026 | 95 | About every 1 day | France, South Korea and Spain |
| Kelly Dépêches 36 | 22 September 2026 | 21 | About every 6 days | South Korea and France |
| Kelly To Go | 19 September 2026 | 5 | About every 7 hours | Spain |
We recorded 116 appearances of the Kelly since 29 May 2026. The Kelly Dépêches 36 accounts for 17% of the appearances where the size was known, so it is the version to watch if you are flexible.
The most recent appearance was on 22 September 2026. Across all sizes, a new appearance comes about every 1 day on average.
Most appearances with a known storefront were in France, South Korea and Spain. Country figures only include storefronts we can identify with certainty; restocks in other EU stores are counted in the totals above but not by country.

How to buy a Kelly
The handbag, in a boutique
The Kelly handbag is bought in a Hermès boutique, and Hermès publishes no rules about how it is offered. Buyers report that it is rarely on display, that a sales associate decides what is shown, and that a first visit asking for one rarely works. Our guides on how the process actually goes are linked at the end of this page.
The Dépêches, online
The pouch and the briefcase are sold on hermes.com in the countries we monitor. Restocks are not announced and listings can sell out within the hour, which is what our figures above are for: they show how often each item has actually come back and in which storefronts.
On the resale market
Both the handbag and the Dépêches are sold pre-owned, usually above retail for the bag. Buy from a seller who authenticates each item, and read the listing carefully: Dépêches, To Go and the handbag are different products that share one name.
Frequently asked questions
Can you buy a Hermès Kelly online?
Not the handbag. Hermès does not list it on hermes.com, so it cannot appear in the online store and no monitoring service can notify you about one. The items sold online under the Kelly name are the Dépêches 25 pouch, the Dépêches 36 briefcase and the Kelly To Go wallet.
How much is a Kelly Dépêches?
On Hermès product pages checked on 17 September 2026, the Dépêches 25 pouch costs £7,530 in Togo or Epsom calfskin, £8,410 in Barenia Faubourg and £10,360 in Box calfskin. The Dépêches 36 briefcase costs £9,530. In the United States the pouch is $11,100 and the briefcase $14,100.
How big is the Kelly Dépêches 25?
Hermès gives it as 25.5 × 20 × 4 cm. That takes a tablet, papers and a phone lying flat, but at 4 cm deep it is a pouch rather than a bag. The Dépêches 36 briefcase is 36.6 × 29 × 5 cm and holds A4 documents.
Does Fairy bag track the Kelly?
We track what the online store sells: the Dépêches pouch and briefcase and the To Go wallet. The handbag is not part of the online catalogue, so we make no promise about it. The table above shows what we have recorded and when.
Dépêches restock alerts
Fairy bag watches the Hermès online store and writes to you when the Dépêches pouch or briefcase appears, with a direct link to the product page. Choose the items and the countries you can buy from, and the message comes by email or Telegram.
