Hermès Picnic Bags

The Hermès picnic bag is the extraordinary result of several perfect marriages. First, the meticulous work of the world’s finest basket weavers meets the craftsmanship of premiere saddlers. It stands out from other Hermès bags because it is the creation of two experienced artisans rather than one. A Birkin picnic bag also represents an ideal blend of high fashion and whimsy that calls to mind the fairytale origins of the Birkin bag. Finally, these unique handbags marry the most accessible of leisure accessories, the picnic basket, with the most exclusive of luxury items, the Hermès Birkin.

Hermès picnic bags were first released as a limited edition in the spring/summer season of 2011. The Hermès picnic Kelly bag was made with Fauve Barenia leather, which is a rich chestnut several shades deeper than gold. The fanciful bag, with its eternal-summer flair, was an instant sensation. Then, in the Resort 2019 runway show, the design house released a mini Kelly picnic bag. This came in seven bold fashion colors and became the latest “it bag” and an exceptional collectible investment bag.

Picnic Birkin & Kelly Bags For Sale

The Birkin picnic was released in 2022 to wide acclaim in several colors. The body of an Hermès picnic bag is formed by handwoven Osier wicker. The top flap, rolled handles, sangles, clochette, and side gussets are rendered in a smooth, supple leather such as Barenia or Swift. The sides are stitched to the wicker using matching leather lacings. The Hermès picnic Kelly also comes with a matching, detachable shoulder strap for carrying the bag crossbody style.

Every day feels like summer when you carry a charming Hermès picnic bag. The wicker makes it a perfect partner for jeans, shorts, or a sweet cotton frock, but a high-fashion piece such as this can also be worn with the finest silk.
