The Hermès Evelyne III 29 (PM) in Black Taurillon Clemence is a classic, highly functional messenger bag that epitomizes the house’s equestrian heritage through a minimalist, sporty lens. Originally designed to carry horse grooming tools, the Evelyne has evolved into one of Hermès’ most popular everyday crossbody styles.
Core Design & Material Composition
-
Material (Taurillon Clemence): The body is crafted from Black (Noir) Clemence leather, a heavy bull-calf skin prized for its large, flat grain and incredibly soft, slouchy texture. It is exceptionally durable and resistant to scratches.
-
Primary Color (Black – Color Code 89): The leather is finished in a deep, saturated Black, accented with tonal stitching that maintains the bag’s sleek, monochromatic appearance.
-
Hardware (Metal Color): As shown in the reference imagery, this model is finished with Gold-plated hardware, including the snap button closure and the swivel clasps on the shoulder strap.
-
Iconic Detail: Features the signature perforated “H” logo on the front, traditionally worn facing the body to allow tools to dry, though modern fashion favors wearing it facing outward.
Specifications & Functionality
-
Dimensions: Approximately 29 cm L x 30 cm H x 8 cm D (roughly 11.5″ x 12″ x 3″). This PM size is considered the “standard” daily size, fitting essentials like a tablet, wallet, and a small makeup bag.
-
Shoulder Strap: Equipped with a removable and adjustable Black canvas “Sangle” strap with leather accents, allowing for both shoulder and crossbody carry.
-
Interior: Features a minimalist, unlined raw suede interior in Black, contributing to the bag’s lightweight feel.
-
Closure: Secured by a single leather tab with a Gold-plated snap button.
-
Exterior Pocket: Includes a large, functional back slip pocket, a hallmark of the “III” generation of Evelyne bags.
