Very interesting interpretation of ‘Kelly sport’ with pockets again thank you @Flowerlily for finding these. Anyone here knows more? Do we like the functionality or prefer the classic model?

A Look Inside a Weekend of Equestrian Sport and Style at the Saut Hermès
While Hermès is now most commonly known for their hard-to-get Kelly and Birkin bags, the French house was originally founded as a sellier, or saddler. And even today, among the horse-bit print silks and saddle bag-inspired leather goods, you’ll find actual saddles, riding attire, and accessories for the barn, from brushes and bridles to saddle soaps. So what better way to honor the house’s equestrian heritage than with a celebration of the sport itself? After a two year hiatus, equestrians and fashion folk joined forces for a weekend-long five-star show jumping event, Saut Hermès, held in the heart of Paris.
In true Hermès fashion, the Grand Palais Ephémère was transformed into a showcase for not only the competition, but also the immense level of craftsmanship behind the brand. Just outside the ring, which included Hermès storefront-inspired fences, a mobile sellier was set up for viewers to take a look at the process of designing the Selle Rouge, Hermès’s newest show jumping saddle.
In between the show-jumping action, guests could relax in lounges with walls decorated in enlarged versions of the brand’s signature silk prints or take a stroll through the on-site shop which housed a selection of their equine, outdoor, and canine goods (certainly the most luxurious take on the traditional tack shop you might ever come across), or take a photo next to a life-size Hermès orange-hued horse.
On Saturday afternoon, Hermès CEO Axel Dumas hosted an intimate dinner to celebrate the return of the Saut with friends, family, and clientele of the house in the gilded salons of the Hotel de la Marine. An afterparty on the show grounds with a performance by Parisian RnB artist Crystal Murray followed suit. Every moment featured a view of the Tour Eiffel, a champagne glass, and an Hermès bag or foulard in sight.

When will these journalists learn the difference between a Birkin and a Kelly?
