Although best known for its exquisite hand-crafted leather goods, the design house has since expanded their production to include a full range of apparel, luggage and accessories. Its iconic Kelly bag was modelled on a saddle bag and was first launched in 1937. It was named after the American actress Grace Kelly in 1955.
