The Himalaya is the pinnacle of Hermès leather craftsmanship. Its name comes from the gradient that evokes the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayan range: a smoky grey on the sides that lightens to pearly white at the centre of the front. Achieving this gradation requires selecting a naturally pale and perfectly even Niloticus crocodile skin, followed by dyeing work of extreme precision — only a handful of pieces are produced each year.

This Kelly 28 in Retourné construction offers a softer silhouette and rounded edges, in the size most sought-after by collectors. The generously sized scales, regular and well centred, attest to a skin of the finest quality. The palladium-plated hardware highlights the gradient without competing with it. The investment piece par excellence, the Kelly Himalaya ranks among the most expensive bags ever sold at auction.
