The Hermès Geta in Black Chèvre Mysore is a contemporary shoulder and crossbody bag inspired by the “clickety-clack” sound and architectural form of traditional Japanese wooden sandals. Launched as a modern alternative to the Constance, it is prized for its innovative, multifunctional hardware and durable goatskin construction.
Core Design & Material
-
Material: Crafted from Chèvre Mysore, a premium goatskin leather sourced from India and known for its distinct, fine grain and slight shine.
-
Texture & Feel: The leather is fairly dry to the touch but softens and becomes more satiny over time while remaining highly scratch-resistant and lightweight.
-
“H” Clasp: Features an oversized, leather-sheathed “H” magnetic closure. This innovative clasp serves a triple purpose: it acts as the bag’s lock, a sliding adjustment system for the strap, and as protective “pedestal” feet for the base.
-
Hardware Finish: Most commonly paired with Palladium-plated (PHW) hardware, though the Black + Gold-plated (GHW) combination is highly sought after in the secondary market.
Specifications & Organization
-
Dimensions: Measures approximately 20 cm L x 15 cm H x 7 cm D (roughly 7.87″ x 5.91″ x 2.75″).
-
Strap: Equipped with an adjustable Fibre canvas webbing strap that can be extended from 61 cm to 120 cm, allowing it to be worn as a high shoulder bag or a low crossbody.
-
Interior: Lined in tonal Swift leather and organized with one main compartment and two internal patch pockets (one of which is divided for smaller items).
