The Hermès Evelyne 16 TPM in Bleu Nuit Taurillon Clemence is a highly coveted mini messenger bag that serves as a functional, luxury essential for hands-free carry. This “TPM” (Très Petit Modèle) size is particularly popular for its compact silhouette and its ability to transition seamlessly from day to evening.
Core Design & Material Construction
-
Material (Taurillon Clemence): Crafted from a heavy, drummed calfskin known for its semi-matte finish and generous, irregular grain. It is prized for its exceptionally soft feel and durable nature, which becomes increasingly supple over time.
-
Color (Bleu Nuit): A sophisticated, deep midnight blue (Color Code: 2Z) that acts as a softer alternative to Black while remaining equally versatile.
-
Hardware: As shown in the reference photography, this specific model is finished with Yellow Gold-plated hardware, featuring polished metal snap hooks for the strap and a snap button closure at the top.
-
Strap: Features a detachable Bleu Nuit canvas (Sangle Wooly) shoulder strap with leather ends, allowing the bag to be worn comfortably as a crossbody.
-
Interior: Consistent with the Evelyne line, the bag features an unlined interior that showcases the natural raw suede side of the Clemence leather.
