Why is it called a Kelly Bag?

In the late 1950s, legend has it that Grace Kelly, a Hollywood star turned princess of Monaco, was photographed holding the bag over her stomach to conceal the early signs of her pregnancy. The bag shot to international fame and was renamed the Kelly. It has now stood as one of the most sought after bags in the world after of course, the Hermes Birkin Bag.
