Pre-owned Birkin and Kelly bags at Sign of the Times

Hermès renamed its top-handle bag the Kelly in 1977, after Grace Kelly was photographed carrying it in 1956, and created the Birkin in 1984 for Jane Birkin. Both are made by hand in France. Our edit includes Birkins in Togo, Clemence, Epsom and Swift leather and in ostrich, and Kellys in Box calf, with pieces from 2004 onwards. Each listing gives the size, leather and year where we can confirm it.

Frequently asked questions

Are your Birkin and Kelly bags authentic?
Yes. We've been selling pre-owned designer fashion for over 50 years, and every piece is checked by our authentication experts before it goes on sale.

What is the difference between a Birkin and a Kelly?
The Birkin has two handles and an open flap, and is usually carried by hand. The Kelly has a single handle, a more structured shape and often a shoulder strap.

What do the numbers in the names mean?
They give the bag's width in centimetres, so a Birkin 30 is about 30cm wide.

Can you ship exotic leather bags abroad?
Crocodile, alligator and ostrich bags can need a CITES certificate to travel outside the UK, so please ask us before ordering one for delivery abroad.

How much is delivery?
UK delivery is free on orders over £400.
