Pre-Owned "Takeami - Act VI - D'Or" Hermès Kelly 25 transformed leather bag

The art of weaving is as old as society itself, dating back at least 27,000 years and has been known throughout all the great civilisations. Whether by hand or using the latest industrial machines, the woven piece is intuitively human.
Drawing inspiration from ‘Takeami’ the Japanese
craft of bamboo basket weaving often refined over multiple generations of a single family, Jay Ahr celebrates both the ancient and modern; grassroots simplicity and timeless elegance, by its application of hand woven leather patterns embellishing the structured form. This bag is a Hermès Kelly Sellier 25 bag cast in Gold, first produced in 2017, with a design that pays homage to “Field of Thatch” flower basket by master weaver Takesonosai saku. Detailed with palladium plated hardware, the bag stands tall on protective feet with a clochette, keys, lock and is carried by a single shoulder strap. The stamp-grained Epsom leather gives a firm hold creating the structural lines synonymous with the Sellier.
