Q: What wrist size does this Hermès Kelly bangle fit, and is it adjustable?
A: This piece is designed to fit wrists up to about 15.5 cm in circumference and is not adjustable. For the best fit, measure your wrist snugly just above the wrist bone with a soft tape; a close, comfortable fit is ideal for leather bangles with a turn‑lock closure.

Q: How do I open and close the Kelly turn‑lock safely?
A: Place the bracelet on your wrist, rotate the Kelly turn‑lock a quarter‑turn to release, gently ease the leather tab to open, then close by returning the tab and turning the lock back to secure. Avoid forcing the mechanism; if it feels tight, align the parts carefully and try again to prevent stress on the leather and hardware.

Q: What materials and finish does this bracelet have?
A: It is crafted in brown Hermès leather with gold‑plated hardware and the signature Kelly turn‑lock detail. As a vintage piece, light surface marks or a gentle patina are normal and consistent with careful prior use.

Q: Can I get this bracelet wet, or wear it in the shower or while swimming?
A: It’s best to avoid water and humidity. Leather can stiffen, stain or lose colour when exposed to moisture, and gold‑plated hardware can dull with water, chlorine, or soaps. Remove the bracelet before hand‑washing, showering, swimming, or exercising, and wipe it dry with a soft cloth if splashed.

Q: How should I care for the leather and plated hardware day to day?
A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear, keep away from perfume, lotions, alcohol‑based products and household cleaners, and store it separately in a soft pouch or box, away from direct sunlight and heat. Regular wear helps slow natural tarnish on jewellery metals, while leather benefits from dry, cool storage to maintain shape.

Q: Does Hermès offer repairs or after‑sales care for this style?
A: Hermès provides after‑sales services via its boutiques; options and eligibility depend on the item’s age, materials and condition. They can advise on care, leather treatment and hardware assessment. Availability of refurbishment (such as hardware work) is determined after in‑person evaluation by Hermès.

Q: Will the turn‑lock or hardware scratch easily when stacking?
A: Fine hairline marks are normal on plated hardware over time, especially when stacked with metal pieces. To minimise wear, alternate with softer materials (like leather cords) or wear it alone, and avoid contact with abrasive surfaces.

Q: Is this bracelet unisex, and how does the 1.5 cm width wear on the wrist?
A: The Kelly bangle is a classic, clean design that suits a wide range of styles and can be worn by anyone. At approximately 1.5 cm wide, it has a refined profile that pairs well with watches and slimmer bangles without feeling bulky.

Q: What accessories are included with this listing?
A: This item is offered without accessories. Anything included is always listed in the Accessories section for full transparency.

Q: How do you authenticate this Hermès bracelet?
A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts—materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and markings are all reviewed to confirm authenticity. We stand behind every item we sell and can share additional details or photos on request.
