Is there a standard leather that lines the inside of a Kelly?

[addiCCted]

I just noticed my togo Kelly is not lined with togo leather. Is there a “standard” leather that lines the inside of each bag? Or does it change season to season? Vary with color or style of bag?

The inside of my bag looks a lot like chèvre. Just wondering.

It’s chevre usually

Is that the usual paring for all bags or just Kelly’s or just Togo?

I think chevre is generally used for all Birkin and Kelly interiors. I have B’s and K’s in Togo, Epsom, Chevre, and Ostrich. Two are SO’s. ALL have chevre interiors.

It's usually Chevre but sometimes depending on the outside leather they use Swift or Lambskin. It's all about that weird "Hermes formule" like specific colours and leathers paired contrast stitch colour, leather covered locks etc.

Pretty cool.

Interesting bc the color matches perfectly but the same colors look different depending on the leather…..interesting but obviously they could make the leather look identical. Interesting.


yes, I know it has to do with the color ratios specific to the color and they don’t change it for the leather.

Swift birkins are lined in swift. Not sure if swift kellys are also lined in swift...

FWIW the chèvre that is used for linings is different from the chèvres used for exteriors), and imperfect hides can be used (which is why you can line a B35 in chèvre but not order a B35 in chèvre, for instance).

I wonder why they use chèvre as the lining?

Maybe because the grain is rather flat and the leather's light, and reasonably scratch-proof? I always worry a bit more with my bags that are lined in Swift (although Swift is not that delicate) and agneau.

When I ordered a Togo sellier Kelly (back when that was a thing), I was told it would be lined in Togo, but it was lined in chèvre.

This isn’t about a Kelly, so hopefully not too OT, but I had this same question about my bolide 27 in epsom. I’d always heard most Hermes bags are lined in (a kind of) chèvre but the lining of my bolide is nearly grainless and smooth, buttery, and silky soft. Maybe my bag is lined in swift, as the lining is decidedly different from the chèvre SLGs I own. I don’t have anything in swift, so cant directly compare.

Agneau, usually.

Thank you!!

Is that just for bolide or in general? I thought my 24/24 was lined with swift too
