Kelly To Go

Name: Hermès Kelly To Go
Brand: Hermès

Catalogued July 2026

The Kelly To Go is Hermès's wallet-on-strap take on the Kelly, a long wallet dressed with the Kelly's turn-lock flap and sangle, worn crossbody or clutched. Hermès introduced its To Go wallet line in 2020. Collectors line it up against the Constance To Go and, in spirit, the Chanel Wallet on Chain. It carries a real Kelly's hardware at a smaller footprint.

The Story

A 1930s bag for carrying saddles became the first It bag the day a princess used it to hide a pregnancy.

Origin

From the stable to the salon

The Kelly began in the 1930s when Hermès shrank a bag built to hold saddles into a structured handbag for women, the Sac à dépêches, launched in 1935. Simple, solid and roomy, it was made to carry a lot in a refined shape.

Culture

The photograph that changed everything

Grace Kelly fell for the bag while filming To Catch a Thief in 1954. In 1956, newly the Princess of Monaco, she was photographed using it to shield her pregnant belly from the cameras. Sales jumped overnight and the bag became the first true luxury It bag.
