The Hermes Evelyne was originally designed in 1978 as an equestrian bag for carrying grooming equipment. It was named after Evelyne Bertrand, the head of the Hermes riding department during that time. It has gained immense popularity in recent years as an easy-going, hands-free design perfect for everyday activities. This specific Hermes Evelyne is crafted from exquisite clemence leather in the black color and topped with silver and palladium plated hardware. This is the third version of the Evelyne, which features an adjustable, detachable shoulder strap. Made in 2014. Stamped [ R ].
