Kelly Chen’s Love for Hermes

Kelly’s passion for Hermes is evident; the iconic Birkin and Kelly handbags have been staples in her luxurious collection for over two decades. 'My love affair with Hermes bags started over 20 years ago,' Chen recalls fondly, 'I still remember the thrill of my first purchase—a Graphite Matte Niloticus Crocodile Birkin 30.

Priced between US$48,800 to US$128,300, the meaning behind this bag adds a heartwarming layer to its allure—'In Chinese, 'bronze' and 'union' are homonyms,' she explains.
