One of the international bestselling novelist’s favourite Hermès bags, Barbara also wore it in London, New York and Paris at the many high profile events she attended as part of her global book tours.

My tri-colour Kelly is made of navy, burgundy, and dark green leather, and is truly unique. It was always one of my favourites, and I remember how thrilled I was when my husband Bob gave it to me. It was a surprise, and a lovely one at that.
What impresses me about the Kelly is its perfect structure and strength. It never gets out of shape. It also holds a lot of things most women need on a daily basis. Certainly it has travelled all over the world with me...New York to London and on to Paris and the South of France. And from there to Istanbul and other exotic places.
I do hope it gives its new owner as much pleasure as it's given me.
Warmest regards,
Barbara Taylor Bradford
