Hermès Evelyne III PM

The Hermès Evelyne PM (Petite Modele) is a casual shoulder bag, perfect for the busy woman on the go. It fills an entirely different spot in your wardrobe than a Birkin or a Kelly bag. 

Like all Hermès luxury handbags, the Evelyne bags have their own intriguing backstory. Designed in 1978 by Evelyne Bertrand, former head of the Hermès equestrian department, the Evelyne bag was initially intended as a carryall for horse groomers to carry their many tools. The perforations in the shape of a large “H” promoted airflow through the bag to help the tools dry between uses. This utilitarian feature was placed on the bag’s back. Soon, fashionistas discovered the saddle-shaped bag and started wearing it “backward”, setting the fashion world alight.

In addition to the signature “H” perforations, the Hermès Evelyne III features a wide and roomy  external pocket and a broad, removable canvas strap that can be worn over the shoulder or crossbody style. The leather tab closure snaps into place, replacing a zipper. Measuring approximately 11.4” x 12” x 3”, The Evelyne PM is considerably larger than the Evelyne mini and easily carries all your daily essentials.
