Hermès Kelly Dépêche 38 Men's Briefcase: Detailed review & try-on

In Gold vache liégée leather with palladium hardware. This has been discontinued for about 10 years I think, so I ended up having to purchase this pre-owned after months of research and waiting for the right one to show up.
I purchased this on 1stDibs (not sponsored), but you still need to do your due diligence whenever buying any pre-owned luxury goods. If you've been a subscriber, you know that I don't buy pre-owned if a new one is available, but that wasn't an option this time.
I was inspired by Filippo Fiora, one half of TheThreeF.com, to get this bag. He has amazing editorial shots of it and I am an avid follower on IG.

Sellier means the seam and stitch are on the outside and gives it a more ridged look. Retourne means the stitching is turned inside and it’s structure is softer.

[@jaitenmaini]

Nice ...super stylish Kelly !!👌🏼 Gr8 review as always

[@SartorialPhil]

Thanks! 😊

[@BryanHeartBreaker]

Also if you wanna “retrain” the leather as you said, stuff it. Make sure it’s how you want it to look, then apply very low heat blow dryer around the area to soften the leather up. Once it starts to mold into the way you want it, turn off the heat and let it cool. Holding it in place. Leave it stuffed for about 3 days. There you go. It should be a lot better than how it was.

[@SartorialPhil]

Yeah, I need to do that, just afraid I'm going to ruin it 😅

[@Peter95111]

Funny thing is I purchased my Kelly Depeche years ago because I saw the same vlog from Filipo as well. I purchased the same one he has in his pics.

[@SartorialPhil]

Nice!

[@LinusLarrabee]

Great briefcase!!! I've been following thethreef for years. The briefcase would be perfect if it had an exterior back sleeve pocket. Great upload.

[@SartorialPhil]

Thanks! True a back pocket would come in handy

[@andreareid3380]

Love the Hermes briefcase stylish and amazing I love your style classy. Great and professional to take to a business meeting.

[@SartorialPhil]

Thank you 😊

[@johnnguyen7171]

Beautiful brief! I think you’re letting it own you. Use it carefree, and you’ll own it! It will last a lifetime.

[@iREVIEWitALL4U]

love it one day hopefully i can catch one.

[@SartorialPhil]

😊👍🏼

[@mhanan76]

The quintessential top executive briefcase! Congrats. Quick question: Would the size 36 look more squared due to its reduced dimensions? I’m somewhat tempted to shoot for it as it’s still available online. Thanks in advance

[@oceanle]

i keep coming back to watch this video :)

[@SartorialPhil]

😊

[@oceanle]

Still rewatching this video . This bag is magnificent!

[@Modelchickny]

Exquisite luxury briefcase. Beautiful!

[@newmoon320]

I've never seen this Kelly before. It's as handsome as you are!

[@SartorialPhil]

Thank you! 😎

[@louislow22]

Regarding to the so-called “Brown Stamping “ you were wondering, it’s “Blind Stamping” which only be produced on “Barenia Leather” FYR. Thanks for sharing such a nice bag from Hermès

[@SartorialPhil]

Thanks for watching. Well blind stamping would be colorless though, like most Gucci leather tags (like on the hard-sided case I just got).

[@wonglapho1]

Thanks for sharing and you look handsome and well built Some reference information for you: 1.leather should be “couchevel”, which is the predecessor to Epsom introduced in late 1990s 2. unless specifically ordered, gold colour must be sewed with white stitches. The term “sellier” (which means horse tools) as far as I know only applies to Kelly bag. For Kelly dépêches, only sizes 34cm and 38cm are available.

[@SartorialPhil]

Thank you for the new information. I never knew about the couchevel leather. I saw some close ups via Google (assuming they're correct) and the leather grain doesn't seem to match exactly, but then again this bag is probably 10 years old. Also didn't know that about the gold color; I'm still quite a newbie to Hermès 😅

[@oceanle]

The suit and Hermes are a great match!

[@SartorialPhil]

Thank you ☺️

[@oceanle]

Favourite bag of all time

[@SartorialPhil]

🤩

[@Kitisakdi]

Look very good if colour dark blue i love this

[@noeldunsky]

Hi, I love the tan color and think leather shoes in a similar color would make the bag more usable for summer-spring looks if you do not use it as a work bag...:)

[@SartorialPhil]

Do the shoes have to match the bag? 😅 I still haven't worn this out yet...perhaps this summer will be it. Thanks for watching

[@noeldunsky]

@@SartorialPhil I like the harmony of matching accessories :)

[@jonathanshan5546]

They are still producing, I just saw a "C" stamp (2018) at a reseller

[@SartorialPhil]

Interesting...I'll have to inquire the next time I'm in Paris or if I get in touch with someone here.

[@simosimo8262]

How much costs a new hermes kelly depeche 38 men's briefcase? (In US dollars or in Euros) it starts from which price?

[@kitfash]

That is a nice looking one.

[@SartorialPhil]

😊

[@oceanle]

What is the name of the sunglasses, it's awesome!

[@liamstz1284]

you have a hugeeeeeee collection!!

[@xavierjean2817]

I have a same one ! Ardennes leather!

[@SartorialPhil]

Nice!

[@pankotheseaweed]

where is the blind stamp?

[@BltchErica]

I can't find it on their site, is it discontinued?

[@SartorialPhil]

It's special order only now

[@BltchErica]

@@SartorialPhil Like a Hermes and Kelly, you have to order it in person and wait a long time, or what does that mean?

[@SartorialPhil]

The Birkin and Kelly you can purchase in store depending on stock and client relationship. This version of the Kelly I believe is only available for custom orders, for which they only have a limited amount of orders available for year.

[@BltchErica]

@@SartorialPhil Okay thank you

[@Gravitas___]

May I ask if you have the dimensions of this bag? Thanks.

[@archergg9226]

what sunglasses are those btw?

[@SartorialPhil]

They are the Dior Homme Composit sunglasses, I think back when Kris was the creative director (before Kim Jones)

[@jeanli]

Hello, great video! may I ask how tall are you?

[@SartorialPhil]

Thanks!

[@yuguangzai]

If the leather is dry. Then you have to send it to the spa. Because the next stage is to crack.

[@thanhtuanhoang3201]

You’re handsome . I also like Kelly size 38 .
