This dreamy pastel pink-purple solid-color Mini Kelly 2 is crafted from Epsom leather. The leather features a tight and structured texture, ideal for creating a sharp, well-defined bag silhouette, making it the perfect material for light-colored exterior-stitch designs—an enduring strength of Shebag.

During production, leather materials undergo rigorous selection to ensure flawless surfaces and consistent grain patterns. Pieces are then cut to precise patterns with strict control over dimensional tolerances. Leather edges are smoothed and sealed to deliver a clean, firm finish, laying the foundation for the bag’s structured shape.

The exterior-stitch technique employs handcrafted two-needle saddle stitching with durable linen thread. Stitch spacing and tension are strictly regulated to ensure neat, straight seams and sharply defined bag contours. Throughout assembly, the bag body is positioned and secured to guarantee symmetrical structure, followed by shaping to maintain its three-dimensional form. Final detailing refines the overall workmanship to premium standards.

For color consistency of the silver-tone hardware, stable alloy bases are selected and processed through multi-layer electroplating. Using standard silver as the benchmark, the electroplating solution, current and duration are tightly controlled to ensure uniform, bright color without discoloration or dullness, maintaining consistent metallic finish across all hardware in the same batch. Anti-oxidation and wear-resistant treatments are applied to preserve long-term color stability and luster, complementing the dreamy pink-purple light-toned body and elevating the overall luxury aesthetic.

In terms of silver-tone hardware, Shebag has conducted in-depth research into the hardware base materials and plating techniques of Hermès.

Hermès silver-tone hardware uses refined brass as its base material. Boasting high density, the cast base delivers sharp edges and strong three-dimensional definition. It undergoes multiple deburring, sandblasting and fine polishing processes to achieve a smooth surface free of pores or pinholes, providing a stable and uniform foundation for subsequent plating.

The plating core employs palladium electroplating, a platinum-group metal, in a multi-layer structure. A copper and nickel undercoat enhances adhesion and corrosion resistance, while the top layer features heavy-duty palladium plating with thickness far exceeding conventional standards, ensuring rich and long-lasting color. Current, temperature and solution concentration are strictly controlled during electroplating, with all components—including locks, clasps and rivets—processed in the same furnace and batch to guarantee uniform tone without noticeable color variation.

Polished-finish hardware undergoes multiple rounds of precision polishing and manual touch-up after electroplating, creating a clean, cool mirror effect with even, transparent reflection and smooth edges and logo recesses. Brushed-finish hardware features uniform, delicate brushing for an understated matte texture. Post-plating sealing and protective treatments effectively isolate sweat, air and external corrosion, improving wear and oxidation resistance to prevent yellowing or dulling over prolonged use.

Its luxurious character stems from a clean, cool silver tone, thick and uniform plating, precise surface finishing, stable color retention and meticulous detailing. Smooth to the touch with a soft, non-glaring luster, the hardware pairs with the leather to exude understated, sophisticated luxury.
