HERMES KELLY VINYL IN WHITE  WITH GOLD HARDWARE. Limited edition from 1997. Perfect day to beach back. The perfect every day kelly style bag. 

The Hermès Clear Vinyl Kelly Bag from 1997 is a unique and playful take on the iconic Hermès Kelly design. Here’s a detailed description:

1. Material: This bag is crafted from clear vinyl, a transparent plastic material, which sets it apart from the traditional leather versions of the Kelly bag. The see-through vinyl offers a modern, edgy aesthetic, making the contents of the bag visible while maintaining the classic structure of the Kelly.

2. Design: The clear vinyl bag retains the iconic Kelly silhouette—a trapezoidal shape with a top flap, single handle, and sharp, structured lines. However, instead of using the luxurious leathers typical of Hermès, this version is designed with a playful, avant-garde twist. The bag has printed text on the front that reads “Souvenir de l'exposition 1997 Hermès Sellier,” which translates to "A souvenir from the 1997 Hermès Saddlery Exhibition." This gives it a collectible and exclusive feel, as it was specifically created for a special event.

3. Closure and Hardware: While the bag replicates the typical Kelly design, it uses simplified hardware. Instead of the usual gold or palladium hardware, the closure is typically made from lightweight materials that are practical for vinyl construction. The front flap secures in a similar way to the classic Kelly, but without the heavy, luxurious metal lock and keys.

4. Handle and Strap: The top handle is also made from clear vinyl to match the body of the bag. The bag may not come with a shoulder strap like traditional Kelly bags, but its focus is more on the aesthetic than on functionality.

5. Size and Function: The size of this vinyl Kelly bag is similar to the regular Kelly sizes, making it spacious enough to hold essentials, though it's more of a statement piece than an everyday bag. Since it is clear, the bag's contents are fully visible, so it’s often styled with carefully curated contents for a fashionable look.

6. Historical Significance: This bag was part of Hermès’ 1997 collection, designed to commemorate an exhibition. As a result, it became a rare and collectible item, showcasing Hermès’ ability to blend high fashion with modern, experimental design. It’s both a functional accessory and a piece of art, embodying the exclusivity and innovation of the brand.

In summary, the Hermès Clear Vinyl Kelly Bag from 1997 is an artistic reinterpretation of the classic Kelly bag, crafted from transparent vinyl and designed as a playful, collectible item. It’s a bold, unconventional take on luxury, ideal for those looking to make a statement while carrying a piece of Hermès history.
