The Hermès ‘Quelle Idole,’ more popularly known as Kelly Doll, was designed and produced in 2000 by Jean-Louis Dumas himself. This limited edition style has since been discontinued, but it pops back up from time to time for boutique openings, brand celebrations, and very rarely on the resale market.
The Kelly Doll, with its bendable arms and leather inset smile, is perhaps the best example of this wry sense of humor. Even its name is a pun! Kelly Doll plays off “Quelle Idole,” an expression which in French translates to “what a doll!” In many ways, the bag’s little smirk can be thought to represent the house’s attitudes towards their creations: outwardly serious but imbued with a sly wink.
