  6. Kelly bags are still made in France :) Claude just moved to New York, and has one of those craftsman tables (and probably an office too, coz he is THE master craftsman :D ). he probably doesnt make bags anymore, but does the occasional repairs… although im not too sure about that because repairs usually go back to the original craftsman who made the bag. but certainly, kelly bags are still made outside of paris :)

  9. Hi there! I tried to trackback but apparently that doesn’t work with Blogger. Thanks for this post! It was truly lust-worthy the craftsmanship that goes into making the Hermes Kelly.
