Evelyne

Catalogued June 2026

The Hermes Evelyne is a soft, unstructured shoulder bag introduced in 1978 and named after Evelyne Bertrand, then head of the house's equestrian department, who designed it to carry horse grooming tools. Its defining feature is the large perforated H on the front, originally punched to let damp brushes air out. Made in supple leathers like Clemence and Togo with a single long adjustable strap and an open or clasped top, it stayed inside the Hermes equestrian world before becoming a casual everyday favorite. It is one of the more accessible entry points into the house's bag range.
