The Hermes Evelyne bag 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. This specific Hermes Evelyne is crafted from exquisite Togo leather in the Marron color with gold-tone hardware. Details include a belted snap and untreated leather interior. This is the first version of the Evelyne, which features an detachable shoulder strap.
