The Hermès Evelyne III PM in Rouge Casaque Epsom is a vibrant and highly structured version of the house’s classic equestrian-inspired crossbody bag. While the Evelyne is most commonly found in the softer Clemence leather, the Epsom version (often associated with the “Sellier” style) offers a more architectural look and exceptional durability.
Core Design & Material
-
Material: Crafted from Epsom calfskin, an embossed leather known for its rigid structure and lightweight feel. It is highly scratch and water-resistant, and unlike Clemence, it does not slouch or lose its shape over time.
-
Color: Rouge Casaque (Color Code Q5) is a quintessential “lipstick red”—a bright, saturated crimson with subtle pink undertones that create a high-energy, dynamic hue.
-
Hardware: This combination is typically paired with Palladium-plated (silver-tone) hardware, which provides a crisp, modern contrast to the bold red leather.
-
The “III” Features: As a third-generation model, it includes an external slip pocket on the back and a removable, adjustable canvas strap with leather trim.
Specifications & Capacity
The PM (Petit Modèle), also referred to as the Evelyne 29, is widely considered the most balanced size for daily use.
-
Dimensions: Measures approximately 29 cm L x 30 cm H x 8 cm D (roughly 11.25″ x 12″ x 3″).
-
Capacity: It is spacious enough to hold a full-sized wallet, a large smartphone, a makeup pouch, and a small water bottle or notebook.
-
Strap: Features a signature removable and adjustable strap (approx. 94–138 cm), allowing for comfortable crossbody or long shoulder carry.
-
Interior: Designed with a minimalist, unlined interior that keeps the bag lightweight.
