Mini Kelly II 20
Compact proportions, a shortened handle and a slim profile give the Mini Kelly II a light, refined silhouette. Its removable strap allows hand, shoulder or crossbody wear.
This size is primarily made in Sellier construction, with visible exterior stitching and crisp edges that define its sculptural shape. Its fittings are streamlined and typically omit the traditional padlock, keys and Clochette.
Two classic constructions
Sellier
Visible exterior stitching and firm edges create a crisp, poised outline with clear lines and a sculptural presence.
Retourne
The seams are turned inward for a softer silhouette. With use, the leather develops a more relaxed curve and an effortless, elegant character.
Leather selection
- Epsom: Embossed calfskin with a fine, defined grain. Lightweight and structured, with good resistance to wear, it suits the crisp lines of Sellier construction.
- Togo: Naturally grained calfskin with a distinct texture, combining flexibility, support and resistance to scratches.
- Clemence: Soft, substantial calfskin with a larger grain and a natural drape, often paired with the gentler lines of Retourne.
- Swift: Fine, smooth calfskin with a soft hand and a rich, vivid colour appearance.
- Box Calf: Smooth calfskin with a natural sheen and vintage character. With time, it develops a distinctive patina.
- Chevre Mysore: Fine-grained goatskin that is lightweight and resilient, with an even texture and supportive structure.
Turnlock and fittings
The signature turnlock secures the leather flap. Standard sizes are commonly paired with a turnlock, metal plaques and studs, padlock, keys, Clochette and removable strap. Mini Kelly II keeps the turnlock and strap in a more streamlined fitting arrangement.
Hand stitching
Saddle stitching is valued for its careful stitch spacing, density and clean leather finishing. Sellier construction shows the exterior seam, reinforcing its defined outline; Retourne keeps the principal seam inside for a softer finish.
Removable strap
Wear it by hand, over the shoulder or crossbody, depending on the occasion. The Mini Kelly II 20’s fine strap complements its petite proportions, while each size offers its own balance and styling.
Hardware finishes
- GHW | Gold Hardware: gold-tone finish
- PHW | Palladium Hardware: palladium-tone silver finish
Hardware elements include the turnlock, studs, padlock, keys and other metal details. With regular wear and contact, the surface gradually develops fine signs of use.
