The Kelly should remind you of the Steamer [emoji16][emoji16]. The Steamer Bag was created in 1901 while the Hermès Kelly was first made in 1977 and the Birkin in 1981.

The Hermes Kelly bag style has been around decades longer than that. When Grace Kelly was famously photographed with this bag in 1956, it was then known as the Sac a Depeche, and then in 1977 renamed as the Kelly.
