Evercolor 2002 20 Gris Asphalte

The Hermès 2002 Bag in size 20 in Gris Asphalte Evercolor leather is a contemporary shoulder bag known for its reinterpreted “H” buckle and versatile, architectural design. Introduced as a modern alternative to the Constance, the “2002” model features a push-lock mechanism that stays true to the brand’s minimalist aesthetic.

Core Design & Material

• Material: Crafted from Evercolor calfskin, a leather known for its wide range of vibrant colors and soft, satiny finish. It is slightly more structured than Swift but remains supple, offering a fine, regular grain that is resistant to daily wear.

• Color: Gris Asphalte (Color Code M8) is a sophisticated “grey-beige” or dove grey. It sits elegantly between the warmer Gris Tourterelle and the deeper Etain, making it a highly versatile neutral for year-round use.

• Hardware: Most commonly paired with Palladium-plated hardware (PHW), which complements the cool tones of the grey leather.

• Signature Clasp: Features a redesigned “H” buckle with a push-button release, offering a more abstract and rounded silhouette than the traditional Constance clasp.
