Luxury clothing and accessories from the Collection of Mrs. Albert Sack

Arguably the most iconic handbag of the 20th century, the Kelly bag was first launched in 1939. While it was popular with starlets such as Marlene Dietrich at that time, the bag did not truly become iconic until it was photographed being carried by Princess Grace of Monaco as a shield to cover her baby bump. After the photo made the cover of Life magazine, the bag would forever become an icon of style associated with the world's fashionable elite.

In very good to excellent vintage condition with light wear as expected throughout. Light superficial scratches, slight wear to corners and some discoloration to hardware as to be expected with this type of leather and age of the bag.

$2,000 - 3,000
