BUYER'S GUIDE
Original release: the Mini Kelly, or Kelly 20, exists since the 50s with a high demand during the 80s and 90s.
Modern versions: the Mini Kelly was re-launched in 2016 in a modernized version. These versions are called Mini Kelly II.
The most wanted Kelly ! In 2024 this is the most popular Kelly. Always sold out, some Hermes stores don't even have it at all.
High price: the price for a Mini Kelly on second-hand is extremely high, sometimes 3 or even 4 times higher than retail price.
Sellier or retourné ? Unlike the other sizes, the Mini Kelly II only exists in Sellier (boxy and structured).
Features: the Mini Kelly II handle is very small so the bag cannot be worn on the arm, only in hand or crossbody. Unlike the other sizes, the Mini Kelly II has no padlock nor "Clochette" like other Kelly bags.
Short term investment: as the trend for tiny bags seem to fade, I would recommend to go for a Kelly 25 instead, which is a steady investment.
