This is the Hermès Kelly 28 in the Retourne style (internal stitching), crafted from Togo leather in a milky white hue. It is an exceptionally beautiful bag, fully handmade, and represents the highest standard of Shebag’s handcrafted bags.

The Togo leather used in the Hermès Kelly 28 is soft yet durable, with a fine and uniform grain. The lining is typically made of soft Chevre (goatskin) or suede, enhancing both the tactile feel and durability.

Shebag’s top-tier replica Hermès Kelly 28 is hand-stitched by experienced artisans using the traditional Saddle Stitch technique. Every stitch uses a double-needle threading method, ensuring the stitching is strong, uniform, and dense. The stitch lines are neat, and the waxed thread increases wear resistance.

In the replication process, the bag’s shape is structured but not overly rigid, maintaining elegant curves. The internal space is reasonably divided to balance utility and aesthetics. It adopts the classic flap design equipped with the iconic turn-lock closure. The lock materials include gold plating, silver plating, or platinum, offering a refined, wear-resistant luster.

The hardware is exquisite and has the correct weight. The surface undergoes multi-layer processing to resist oxidation and corrosion, remaining like new for a long time. The connection details between the hardware and leather are finely processed to prevent damaging the leather.

The handle is constructed from multiple layers of bonded leather, making it sturdy and comfortable. Some styles feature a detachable shoulder strap for flexible carrying, with secure connections to ensure durability. The edges utilize professional edge-painting craftsmanship; the glazing is uniform and meticulous to prevent cracking. The internal and external brand stamps and atelier marks (blind stamps) are clear, ensuring an authentic identity. Each bag undergoes multiple quality control checks to ensure it is flawless.

The quality of the Togo leather is the key to this replication. Not all calfskin is suitable for Togo; the percentage of hides that meet the requirements is very low. According to industry data, only 2–3% of calfskin hides are selected as raw material for Togo.

Hermès ensures that tanning, processing, and dyeing processes meet standards through long-term partnerships or by holding partial stakes and conducting audits. Data suggests that only leather processed through specialized workflows and high standards is used as Togo.

Theoretically, the very best hides are prioritized for Hermès’ flagship series and classic models. Remaining hides, or those with more defects (even if processed the same way), may flow to other brands or mid-range products. In other words, Hermès’ Togo is the comprehensive result of “Top-Tier Hides + Top-Tier Craftsmanship + Top-Tier QC.”
