In the 1930s, Robert Dumas designed a “small women’s shoulder bag” with a trapezoidal shape and clever practical elements. In the late 1950s, Grace Kelly’s figure carrying this handbag was exposed to the public, and the style was named Kelly ever since.
Since the 2000s, the classic lines and features of the Kelly bag have been a source of inspiration for Pierre Hardy, helping him design dazzling jewelry pieces. Turnlocks, shoulder straps and bell-shaped pendants have all been reinterpreted and presented in a series of silver or gold jewelry pieces. The rich and diverse series of works continue to write the legendary story of Kelly elements, reshaping the classics with a never-ending pace.
