Evelyne 16 Orange Clemence PHW

Description

This Mini Evelyne 16 is in Orange clemence leather with palladium hardware and features contrast stitching, large perforated H in circle (front), pull tab top snap closure and a sporty, removable shoulder/crossbody strap. The interior is lined with natural leather.

This bag is in like-new condition and comes with dustbag and box. It makes a perfect gift that stands out because of its iconic color.

This casual and trendy bag is a true testament to its equestrian heritage, preserving the original shoulder strap and oval hoofprint. The H-shaped perforation on the back, originally intended for drying grooming accessories, adds a unique touch of functionality.

Completely unlined with no internal pockets, the Evelyne 16 Orange Clemence PHW has an air of chic simplicity which lends itself well to casual outfits. In contrast to other classic Hermès bags, it has an open top with just a small leather tab and press-stud fastening to secure it. The Evelyne’s wide, detachable canvas strap makes for a comfortable cross-body experience, and is a design nod to a horse’s girth (the strap which helps secure its saddle). Thanks to its clean, utilitarian aesthetic, many consider the Evelyne to be a unisex bag – the perfect partner to everyday life, whatever your gender.

This Evelyne is crafted in Clemence, one of Hermès’s most popular leathers. Clemence is a large-grained skin that was originally created for luggage and first appeared in Hermès’ collections in 1992. The technique that produces this large grain is called Drumming, which softens the skin. Clemence, named for the daughter of the designer who introduced it into Hermès’ collections, is very similar to Togo. Both are very popular; Clemence is made from the male calf and Togo is made from the female.

Clemence has a semi-matte smooth, pebbled-grained surface that creates a slightly slouchy and relaxed handbag Clemence and Togo are both natural leathers and quite similar, but Clemence is smoother to the touch and has slightly larger grains and no veining compared to Togo.

In line with our current obsession with all-things-mini in the bag world, the petite Mini Evelyne is unsurprisingly popular, particularly amongst the Instagram generation. The Mini can fit your daily essentials for running about town: a phone, keys, lipstick and your cardholder.
