How Grace Kelly gave the Hermès Kelly bag its enduring style status

Could the Hermès Kelly actually overtake the Birkin in the popularity stakes?

The bag’s design was originally inspired by the saddle bags created for horse riders in the 1880s before Hermés revamped it as the Sac à Courroies in the 1930s. The actress Grace Kelly was first associated with the style after she was spotted carrying one on the set of To Catch a Thief in 1954. www.crocodilesbag.com
