Everyone is clambering for the rubber take on the Hermes Birkin and Kelly bags, nicknamed Jelly Kellys, and now they are practically as hard to get as the real things, as the Post reports. The Times wrote about designer Steven Stolman's master stroke of importing the rubber satchel from Italy, to sell at high-end retailers like Henri Bendel's, but then was faced with cease-and-desist letters from Hermes. Of course, this has created even more demand for the poor-girl's Hermes bag. Now Jelly Kelly-type bags are on eBay, as well as other retailers like Shop Intuition. And no, Gothamist doesn't know where else to get them - sorry.
