Hermès Retourne Bags

Our collection of Hermès Retourne bags includes the more relaxed style of Birkin and Kelly bags. For decades, the Birkin bag was available only in the Retourne style. The laid-back shape seemed synonymous with the “It Bag.” 

For Hermès bag aficionados, the question of whether to choose a Sellier or Retourne bag seems as old as fashion itself. While the Hermès Sellier bags have a highly-structured appearance with a crisp silhouette, Hermès Retourne bags are made with a more relaxed silhouette, with a slightly “slouchy” shape for a more casual appeal. 

The difference originates in the way the bags are constructed. When artisans craft an Hermès Retourne bag, they sew the pieces of leather together, then turn the entire bag inside out, hiding the stitching inside and finishing the seams with leather piping. 

An Hermès Kelly Retourne or a Birkin Retourne in any size makes for a beautiful day. The Retourne construction enables the bag to hold a bit more than a Sellier style bag of the same style and size. For a dressier event, consider an Hermès Retourne in matte alligator or crocodile, the only shape that Hermès offers for these rare pieces.
