The Kelly comes in several sizes, from the tiny Mini to roomier everyday options, plus two constructions that change its look entirely. Here is how they compare on dimensions, price and use.
The main Kelly sizes
| Size | Dimensions (W×H×D) | 2026 US retail | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini Kelly (20) | ~20 × 16 × 10 cm | ~$11,400 | Statement mini; essentials only |
| Kelly 25 | ~25 × 19 × 9 cm | ~$13,700 | Compact everyday; very in demand |
| Kelly 28 | ~28 × 22 × 10 cm | ~$14,400 | The classic all-rounder |
| Kelly 32 | ~32 × 23 × 10.5 cm | higher | Roomier day bag |
Sellier vs Retourne
Beyond size, the Kelly comes in two constructions: Sellier (crisp, structured, with exposed edge stitching) and Retourne (softer, rounded, more relaxed). This changes the look as much as the size does — a Sellier 25 and a Retourne 25 feel like different bags. Sellier, often in Epsom, gives the sharpest silhouette; Retourne, often in Togo or Clemence, is more casual.
Value: the Mini leads
The Mini Kelly is one of the strongest resale performers of any Hermès bag — around 3× retail (roughly $30,000–36,000). Small Kellys generally hold value very well. See our resale guide.
Which to choose
For daily use, the 28 is the classic; the 25 and Mini lead demand and resale; the 32 gives more capacity. Compare the model with the Birkin vs Kelly guide.
