Hermès Verrou Bags
3 products
The Hermès Verrou is an exceptionally stylish designer shoulder bag that effortlessly transitions from day to evening. The nearly square bag features a unique, cutaway flap that frames and showcases the bold sliding latch clasp modeled on the bolt used to fasten stall doors. This nod to the Maison’s equestrian heritage and the bag’s sumptuous quality are all that mark it as an Hermès bag. The quiet luxury of the Verrou lends a delicious “if you know, you know” quality to the non-quota bag that is prized by Hermès devotees and collectors.
The Hermès Verrou bag is impossibly chic. The bag’s premium leather or exotic skin juxtaposed with the industrial quality of the latch clasp creates a dynamic tension. The look is sophisticated and avant-garde, with a sharp, asymmetrical design. The bags are crafted from Epsom, Togo, Doblis suede, Chèvre Mysore, ostrich, alligator, and snakeskin in a vast array of colorways.

Robert Dumas designed the first Hermès Verrou as an Hermès clutch bag. It was introduced in 1938 when the bag’s sleek, minimalist silhouette and bold hardware styling were ahead of its time. Produced only in limited quantities, the bag appealed to a fashion-forward audience. The Verrou clutch was revived in 2010 to great acclaim, and in 2017, a delicate Chaîne d’Ancre chain was added, turning it into a shoulder bag, though not a crossbody.
Today, new Hermès mini Verrou bags and the Verrou 21 are available with a jewelry-like chain, a leather shoulder strap, or a wide, colorful wool strap. The Verrou designer clutch bags can still be found on the secondary market, though we hope to see them added to the current collection.
