Keep your eye out for bicolour Picotins, which have a contrasting lining and are highly prized by collectors. The Picotin comes in three widths, 18, 22 and 26, and you’ll mainly find it in hardwearing Clemence leathers, although Hermès does produce canvas versions as well. Hermès Picotin 22 Taurillon Clemence Black We love the pared-back detail of a single padlocked strap across the top, and its broad base with four protective studs, which helps it to stand upright when you put it down. The Picotin is a great grab-and-go bag for running morning errands, and its open top makes for easy access. Originally launched in 1992, this playful and practical bucket bag (or bindle, as Hermès calls it) is inspired by horse feeders, combining a minimal shape with unlined, unstructured leather. The Picotinįor a bag of such simple construction, the Hermès Picotin packs a style punch. With a powerful, masculine aesthetic, the HAC is popular with men and women alike - we love this forever piece in classic black Togo leather for weekend getaways. It comes in sizes ranging from 27 to a monumental 60, but is most commonly found in the larger sizes. However, compared like-for-like with Birkins of the same width, the HAC is far more capacious, making it a great option for carrying your laptop or overnight essentials. It also comes in a similar range of incredible leathers, from high-gloss crocodile to butter-soft natural Barenia. Hermès Haut à Courroies 45 Vache Ardennes Gold It’s easy to see that the HAC is the ur-bag for the Birkin: it has the same saddle-inspired flap held in place by two side straps, with short curved handles. With the advent of the automobile era, it quickly evolved into the perfect travel holdall. Combining the French words for ‘high’ (haut) and ‘straps’ (courroies), it was designed in 1892, when Hermès was still very much an equestrian outfitter, to carry a saddle and riding boots - hence its taller silhouette. The Hermès Haut à Courroies (or HAC) has the historical significance of being one of the fashion house’s very first bags. An Evercolor leather Hermès 24/24 21 in Rose Mexico and Rouge de Coeur The Haut à Courroies The 24/24 is another great gender-neutral option, and we love its more casual feel compared to the sharp structure of a Kelly or Birkin. All sizes feature a slip pocket at the back of the bag, and a zipped interior pocket. It comes in three sizes: the delectable 24/24 21, a versatile mini that can even be worn as a belt bag the 29, which makes for an ideal everyday bag and the office-ready 35. You can carry a 24/24 by the top handle, or alternatively via its detachable shoulder strap, which clips to two hooks at the back of the bag. A Clemence leather Hermès 24/24 35 in Deep Blue The 24/24’s most striking feature is its contrasting top flap: a ‘90s-inspired rectangle of smooth, rigid leather with a turn-lock closure, it’s a sleek and simple alternative to the fussier fastenings of a Kelly or Birkin. The 24/24įirst released in 2018, the 24/24 combines the aesthetics of a Kelly Retourne with a minimal, slouchier finish, constructed in Togo, Clemence or Taurillon Maurice grained leather. This go-with-everything style, mixing warm neutral shades of Ecru, Nature and Gold, is priced at €3,230. The best bit? The Cabas was specifically designed as unisex, so everyone can add a dash of ‘70s cool to their wardrobe. The Cabas H en Biais’ handles, trim and base are all crafted in Swift calfskin, giving it extra durability. The larger Cabas H en Biais 40 bag has two top handles, while the smaller 27 bag also comes with a longer shoulder strap and an interior slip pocket. Hermès Cabas H en Biais 27 Toile H / Swift Ecru / Nature / Gold It’s a perfect ‘shopper’ style for weekends about town or days at the beach, designed simply with an open top and no exterior pockets. Inspired by a 1970s design from the Hermès archive, the bag is emblazoned with a distinctive graphic ‘H’ motif and comes in either jacquard canvas, or for a more luxurious finish, tufted canvas with raised embroidery. Launched in 2021, the Cabas H en Biais is the new kid on the block at Hermès and already proving a hit with collectors. This sophisticated Herbag 39 style, combining racing-green canvas and Ebene leather, hits the spot at €2,330. The Herbag Zip is available in four sizes: 31, 39, 50, 52 (the number corresponds to the width in centimetres at the base). Discontinued in the mid-2000s before being reintroduced in 2009 as the ‘Herbag Zip’, it now comes complete with a handy zipped pouch at the back. This makes it a rewarding style to collect in multiples, as you can mix and match colours as you please.
