Welcome to The History of the Hermès Evelyne Bag!
Hermès has been creating beautiful leather pieces, renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship, since 1837. First established by Thierry Hermès as a harness workshop in the Grands Boulevards quarter of Paris, the atelier quickly became dedicated to serving European noblemen – even Napoleon Bonaparte was a client. In 1922 the first Hermès handbag was created and since then they have launched several of the most iconic bags in the world! And the Evelyne is one of the most classic!
The History of the Hermès Evelyne Bag:
The Evelyne, like many other Hermès handbags, is inspired by Hermès’ equestrian background. The bag includes a “H”-shaped pattern of perforations on one side, indicating that it was originally used to transport horse grooming supplies. These holes in the bag let air flow through, drying damp combs, brushes, and picks. The Evelyne’s ventilated side originally designed to be worn against the rider’s body, but as the bag is now seen as a luxury item, the perforations are worn facing outwards. This Hermès bag is really sporty and functional. Two leather options—Maurice and Clemence—and four sizes—petite, medium, large, and extra-large—are available. Finally, it is one of the most classic and iconic Hermès bags!
The Evelyne is the ideal crossbody bag for everyday wear. You could also wear the smaller sizes on a night out. This might be the perfect bag to start your Hermès collection. Not only it isn’t a quota bag, but is also very affordable for the brand’s standards. Prices of the Evelyne start at around $1,850, making it one of the cheapest Hermès Bags! This is a classic style of the brand that will never go out of style. Additionally it is durable and practical, is a bag you would pass down to the next generation. You won’t regret buying this one!
