Hermès Kelly 20 Picnic Vert Vertigo with Natural Osier Wicker and Palladium Hardware

The Kelly Picnic is one of Hermès' most celebrated limited-edition creations. It first debuted on the Spring/Summer 2011 runway as a Kelly 35 designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier, inspired by the classic French picnic basket. Hermès later introduced the Mini Kelly Picnic 20 in 2019, instantly turning it into one of the Maison's most sought-after seasonal bags. Produced in exceptionally small numbers, each piece combines traditional basket weaving with Hermès leatherwork, making it one of the rarest Mini Kelly variations ever released.

This example is crafted in Vert Vertigo, a vibrant emerald green introduced as part of Hermès' contemporary colour palette. Inspired by the lush greens of flourishing gardens and Mediterranean landscapes, Vert Vertigo is brighter and more saturated than classics such as Vert Veronese or Bambou, giving the Kelly Picnic a fresh, unmistakably summery character. Against the warm tones of natural osier wicker, the colour recalls the contrast between rich foliage and handwoven picnic baskets, staying true to the spirit that inspired the design itself.
