When Princess of Monaco Grace Kelly became pregnant in 1956, she used her Hermes handbag to shield her burgeoning belly from the paparazzi, who were always photographing her.
At the time, her handbag was known as the Sac à Dépêches, but because it was thrust into the spotlight with the former actress, customers kept asking the company for the “Kelly bag,” which it was officially renamed. Not only is the iconic Kelly still a top “it” bag for its craftsmanship and design, but it's also eagerly sought by collectors for its investment payoff.
Accessories and Assets
Since the pandemic, luxury handbags by Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton and other brands have been one of the fastestgrowing assets among collectors.
