Being one of the world’s most successful supermodels and spending your summer on the Mediterranean might seem enviable enough, until Kendall Jenner adds a rare, five-figure arm candy to the mix. If the star-studded wedding of tech tycoon Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez already had you feeling left out, Jenner’s post-wedding escapades might leave you downright wistful.
The model was spotted living it up in Saint-Tropez over the weekend, effortlessly balancing a $60,000 Hermès Kelly Doll handbag on her head while enjoying a sun-soaked afternoon at the chic Loulou Plage & Restaurant. Captured in a playful moment by fellow model and friend Devon Lee Carlson, Jenner exuded carefree glamour, fresh from one of the most high-profile events of the year.
The handbag in question, a limited-edition Hermès Kelly Doll, or Quelle Idole, is not just a fashion statement, but a collector’s dream. Originally designed by Jean-Louis Dumas in 2000 and priced at a modest $2,500, the whimsical mini bag now commands up to $100,000 at auction, according to Sotheby’s. Crafted in Nata Swift leather and measuring 15 x 12 x 16 cm, this charming piece is as rare as it is adorable.
The Kardashian-Jenner affinity for Hermès is well documented. Their jaw-dropping handbag closets are practically fashion museums, with Kris Jenner who even has a separate room for fine china, owning one of the most coveted Hermès collections in the world. Kylie Jenner’s treasure trove isn’t far behind, proving that style, extravagance, and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship run deep in the family.
