The Hermès Mini Jypsière in Etoupe Evercolor Leather is a contemporary, compact crossbody that reimagines the house’s iconic equestrian hunting bag and Birkin codes for a modern, hands-free lifestyle. Originally designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier, the Mini version (22cm) is currently one of the most popular sizes in the line due to its blend of Birkin-inspired aesthetics and crossbody functionality.
