This is actually a pattern for a folded papercraft replica of a Kelly bag. It might work in leather, but the actual bags are constructed a little differently.

Below is an exploded view of the Hermes bag, dissembled by some fashion writer with too much of a budget (it's a $38,000 bag... I wonder if he put it back together).

yikes!

[NVLeatherWorx]

I can't believe that you can get $38,000 for a simple suede bag with plated hardware. Wonder what I could get for this one?

I made this one for my wife but figured that I would go with around $425 for it.

[SoBag]

Neither can I but it would feel damn good selling one for $38,000

I just want to say "thanks" for posting a link to this paper pattern. It helped me figure out a better way to make a winged gusseted bag a la the Celine Trapeze Bag that I adore. I am pleased with how my version turned out as I am still newish to leather crafting. I don't have a working sewing machine so I have to hand sew everything. This is my first post to this site.

[Fat Dog Leather]

Looks like you did a great job! Especially sewing by hand.

I am also fairly new and can appreciate your efforts. I've been working without patterns and trying to disassemble and reassemble bags (on paper) as I see them......sometimes the results are on target but it has been a learning experience. Good luck and if we can put our heads together on some design delimas pls. give me a shout.

FDL.

Thank you FDL. Any input on a bucket bag type purse a la Louis Vuitton? I want the seam to be hidden on the inside. My next challenge is adding pockets to the inside lining before bonding outer and inner leathers together. I am no good at pockets but i love them for my phone and a strap for attaching my keys so they don't get lost in the bag.

I think you did a fantastic Job.I'm notto your level yet I'm currently making hostessbut maybe one day .

[Mudruck]

Wait, wait wait.... is that a typo? $38,000.00 for a handbag?

And Cynthia, I think your bag looks great!

[Cynthia]

Thank you TRADERnel and Mudruck. No, that wasn't a typo. Hermes sells purses for $38,000. And if I remember correctly, their Birkin bag still has a multi years long waiting list. Some people are still waiting to buy a Birkin while people like the Kardashian sisters own several.
