The Kelly bag (formerly known as the Sac à main de Voyage) is a leather handbag designed by the Paris-based, high-fashion luxury-goods manufacturer Hermès.
The sellier style is a rigid construction including a stiffening layer between the outer leather and inner lining, with the side and bottom stitching clearly visible; the retourné style is a softer construction, wherein the bag is sewn and then turned inside-out, hiding the exterior side stitching.
In 1935, Hermès's son-in-law Robert Dumas redesigned it as a spacious travel bag called Sac à main de Voyage.
In 1954, Hitchcock allowed the costume designer Edith Head to purchase Hermès accessories for the film To Catch a Thief, starring Grace Kelly.
