This one is for the Hermes Kelly lovers.
The Kelly Pochette Clutch and the Hermes Kelly Cut Clutch Pochette are taking the fashion world by storm. As Hermes continues to be a top-selling brand with FASHIONPHILE and captivating fashion lovers worldwide, these two variations of the iconic Kelly bag have been gaining significant attention.
As we all know, Hermes Kelly bags come in many shapes and sizes, but what sets apart the ever-popular Kelly Pochette styles? We’ve witnessed a remarkable surge in demand, particularly for the classic Kelly Pochette Clutch in recent months. So let’s dive in and get a better sense of the differences between these Kelly Pochette styles so you can know which one is right for you.
What are the differences between the Hermes Kelly Pochettes?
The Differences
The Kelly Pochette Clutch is notably smaller, making it perfect for carrying essentials while maintaining a sleek profile. On the other hand, the Kelly Cut Clutch Pochette offers a slightly larger and longer size, allowing for more storage space.
The Kelly Pochette Clutch measures approximately 8.5” x 5.25” x 2.75” whereas the Kelly Cut Clutch Pochette measures approximately 12.25” x 5” x 1”. Interestingly, although released around four years apart, they have garnered a similar level of admiration from Hermes enthusiasts.
The Similarities
Despite their size difference, both clutches feature the iconic Kelly turn-lock, providing a sense of prestige, elegance, and security. And both styles have an interior patch pocket. Even their names are quite similar, often leading to confusion among buyers… But hopefully, this post clarifies everything!
Apart from the Kelly Pochette and the Kelly Cut Clutch Pochette, if you’re interested in exploring other similar styles, consider the Kelly Longue Clutch Pochette as an alternative option or the Kelly Wallet to Go.

Which Kelly Pochette is better?
Exhibit A: The Hermes Kelly Pochette Clutch
The Hermes Kelly Pochette Clutch, the shorter of the two Hermes pochettes, has been flying off the shelves faster than ever in 2024 compared to the previous year. Despite the increased demand, its price remains relatively lower between the two styles, making it an attractive investment.
It’s also worth noting that 87% more people are searching for the Kelly Pochette Clutch at FASHIONPHILE this year compared to the Kelly Cut Clutch Pochette last year. Could this mean a new It bag in the works?
Exhibit B: The Hermes Kelly Cut Clutch Pochette
In contrast, the Hermes Kelly Cut Clutch Pochette has increased 20% in sales with the value rising by 10% compared to last year. Additionally, searches containing “Kelly cut” have increased by 38% at the beginning of this year compared to the end of last year hinting a growing interest for this style as well.
Case in point: Which of the two is right for you? They’re both incredibly sought after as our data will tell you. So it depends on what you’re looking for personally. But based on what we’ve observed, it does appear that Kelly Pochette Clutches are making waves at the moment, especially with mini bags and top-handle bags dominating the runways. However, as the East-West handbag trend continues to grow, it’s no wonder that the Hermes Kelly Cut Clutch Pochette is capturing the attention of many shoppers, too.
At the end of the day, the Hermes Kelly Pochette Clutch and the Hermes Kelly Cut Clutch Pochette both offer something special to the table with their unique characteristics suiting different preferences. Whether you opt for the shorter, more compact style or the longer, slightly more spacious one, both couldn’t embody the essence of Hermes any more!
