Story Behind The Scarf

The Hermès Magic Kelly scarf, designed by Dimitri Rybaltchenko in 2011, celebrates the iconic Kelly bag and its connection to Grace Kelly. The scarf features stars and sparkles with contrasting hems, evoking a sense of magic and joy. The scarf's design also alludes to the history of the Kelly bag, which evolved from a saddle bag prototype in 1892 to the redesigned version known today, popularized when Grace Kelly famously used it to conceal her pregnancy.

The Kelly bag's history dates back to 1892, when Hermès created a prototype to carry saddles. It was modernized in the 1920s and redesigned in the 1930s, eventually becoming the Kelly bag we recognize today.

In the 1950s, costume designer Edith Head introduced Grace Kelly to Hermès, and she became enamored with the brand. She particularly loved the Petit Sac à Courroies (later known as the Kelly bag).

In 1956, photos of Grace Kelly using the bag to conceal her pregnancy were published, leading to the bag being named the Kelly bag in her honor.

The Magic Kelly scarf, designed by Dimitri Rybaltchenko, celebrates this iconic bag and its history. It's known for its vibrant colors, sparkling details, and the way it captures the magic associated with the Kelly bag and Grace Kelly's story.

    I didn’t expect for the flower to be so small for $100

    Retro Print Flower Vintage Silk Scarf Bag Charm

    Store owner replied: Thanks for the feedback Elizabeth. We stand behind the quality of both the craftsmanship of our items and the information provided on our website to help in the decision making process. The one of a kind bag charm you purchased is the 2 1/4” diameter as advertised. That being said - if you would like to return the piece, please let us know.

    I had purchased the drawstring Hermes Ribbon bag snd thought it was amazing and so bought this bag from you. This crossbody is cute but not the same “wow” factor. Seems small and a little flimsy. Perhaps the drawstring style just has more fabric and heft to it. Not sure I’m going to give it as a gift to my original recipient- may save for my daughter who will thrilled with it.

    Simply gorgeous cannot wait to wear. It will go with many of my shirts and suits completely unique with a piece of vintage Chanel. Excellent customer service will definitely be buying in the future from you. Cannot wait to receive my purse from you.

    I do not think the item was made from a silk scarf - it is too heavy and feels more like it was made from an actual handbag or something other than a silk scarf. feels more like tapestry.

    GG Bouquet Vintage Silk Scarf Drawstring Crossbody Bag

    Store owner replied: Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback Jodi. This particular bag was created from a vintage Gucci scarf of a silk and modal blend as indicated in the item description. We also add a backing along with the lining for added strength and stability. We pride ourselves on our quality and attention to detail in the information provided. Feel free to request a return or exchange.

    I just took some pics not sure if you got them but I thought the product was going to look exactly like the picture shown. The one I received is not exactly like the picture shown - different part of the scarf on mine, different color zipper, not what I expected. I would be nervous to buy as a gift for someone unless I saw it for myself in a store.

    The cuff bracelet is just "ok". It is not as heavy as one would expect from a luxury item - it feels light, like something that can be bought in any costume kiosk at a mall. The scarf remnant woven through the cuff bracelet is not silk as described - it is a wool blend, so not drapey. Overall, disappointed with this piece. I am still waiting for a bag I ordered at the same time (10/9). I'm hoping for a better outcome when I receive that.

    The charm itself is beautiful, but the smell is HORRIBLE! It smells like a moldy musky basement. I thought the smell would go away, but it didn’t. I had set the charm on our dining room table and my husband asked what that smell was and he was in the family room. Thought about tossing it but I spent $140, I couldn’t return because I needed to get that box out of my house fast. I have it in a shoebox with charcoal oder eater pads. I hope this works.

    Store owner replied: Disappointing indeed! We take these issues very seriously Gabrielle and have sent you a prepaid return label to get the piece back to us so we can issue you a full refund. We have sold 100's of these charms with consistent 5 star reviews. Not to worry - let us take care of it. Be on the lookout for the label.

    This was pretty, but it smells absolutely horrible and can’t use it. Smells moldy. I have a large bedroom and it made my bedroom smell so bad. Moved it to my bathroom, it’s large as well, made that smell. I eant to throw it away but it was $140. If anyone knows how to get a moldy basement smell out of something, please let me know.

    Absolutely beautiful! Exactly like the pictures. These are so unique and timeless. I can't wait until Christmas to gift it and see their reaction. Shipping was quick and seamless.

    Customer photo review of GG Blooms Pink Vintage Scarf Drawstring Crossbody Bag

    The purse is really adorable. The velvet backing is sturdy and the interior has a little pocket/divider. The only thing I'd change is the way the "Gucci" tag was sewed on - it's a little askew.

    I won't list a piece I wouldn't put in my own home. Twenty years of luxury retail taught me what authentic looks like — and what doesn't.
