Kelly Doll Quelle Idole Picto Terre Battue Epsom with Palladium Hardware

The Hermès Kelly dole Picto Bag, featured in the Hermès Spring/Summer 2022 collection, adds a modern twist to the whimsical character of the original personified bag. Unlike its predecessor, this version comes with an optional shoulder strap and a small backpack attachment. The doll's facial features have also been updated with a computerized pixelated design. Inspired by the Hermès Jingle Games at Ginza Japan in 2018, where pixel art was used to create a video-game-like display with crystal bricks from the Hermès Maison, this new Doll is a playful addition to the Hermès collection.

Jean-Louis Dumas, the former CEO of Hermès, created and produced the Hermès 'Quelle Idole,' also known as the Kelly Doll, in 2000. This limited edition bag has been discontinued, but occasionally resurfaces for special events such as boutique openings and brand celebrations, and very rarely appears on the resale market. Hermès is renowned for infusing whimsical details into their products, as evident in their scarf prints that depict horses as superheroes or actors receiving awards.
