Hermes Fauve Barenia and Natural Wood “Kelly Wood” 22cm Palladium Hardware

Natural wood forms the body of the Kelly Wood, its grain and warm tone standing apart from the Fauve barenia leather that shapes the front flap and the accents of the 22cm bag. Palladium hardware runs through the fittings, cool and silver against both the wood and the rich, reddish-brown barenia leather. White contrast stitching traces the leatherwork, bright against the Fauve tone and marking the flap, the accents, and the edges where leather meets wood. A front flap of barenia leather folds over the wooden body, and barenia accents continue the leather across the parts of the bag that flex and fasten, while the wood gives the structure its rigidity.

Two straps run to a center toggle closure, turning to hold both straps and secure the barenia flap over the wooden body. A single rolled handle arches above the flap, giving a clean hand carry that keeps the wood and leather face outward, and a removable strap offers a second way to carry the bag when the handle is set aside. Palladium fittings at the toggle, the handle, and the strap attachments repeat the same cool metal tone across wood and leather alike. Opening the bag means releasing the toggle, drawing the straps aside, and lifting the barenia flap, which exposes the interior behind the wooden front.

Barenia leather lines the interior, smooth and consistent with the flap and accents outside, so the leather continues from the exterior through to the inner walls. One open pocket sits on the rear wall, a single place within the interior that holds flat items against the back while the rest of the space stays open. The wooden body keeps the interior walls firm and upright, so the contents rest in a defined, rectangular space rather than settling into a soft curve. White contrast stitching remains a feature of the leatherwork, visible on the flap and accents, while the wood itself carries its own natural grain without stitching.

Carried by the single rolled handle, the Kelly Wood presents a striking combination of materials, the warm grain of natural wood framed by Fauve barenia leather and bright white stitching. Worn on the removable strap, it hangs as a structured, flat-fronted bag, the wooden body holding its shape regardless of what is inside. Natural wood, Fauve barenia leather, white contrast stitching, palladium hardware, and a barenia lining with one rear open pocket give the 22cm Kelly Wood a design built around the meeting of two materials, closed by two straps and a center toggle.
