The Hermès Evelyne has been around since 1978, but in the last 10 years, it’s really started to shine. This simple no fuss messenger bag has become a favorite among Hermès fans.
Why? Because it’s stylish, practical, and so easy to wear!
With its iconic perforated “H” logo and comfy crossbody strap, the Evelyne is the perfect grab-and-go luxury bag. Whether you’re running errands or out for brunch, this bag fits right in.
Hermès Evelyne History
The Hermès Evelyne wasn’t always a fashion piece. Originally, it was made to carry grooming tools for horses like brushes and sponges.
The bag is named after Évelyne Bertrand, who led Hermès’s riding department and designed the bag.
Its standout feature—the perforated “H” logo—was meant to face inward, providing ventilation to keep everything dry. For years, the Evelyne was a secret gem, used only in Hermès’ equestrian division.
That all changed in the early 2000s when the bag made its way into the leather goods department and quickly became a favorite among fashion lovers.
Since its debut, the Evelyne has had a few changes.
- Evelyne I (First Generation): No external pocket and non-adjustable strap.
- Evelyne II (Second Generation): External pocket but non-adjustable strap.
- Evelyne III (Third Generation): The current version, with an external pocket and adjustable strap.
In 2016, Hermès introduced the Evelyne Sellier made from Hunter leather with an embossed logo instead of perforations.
Hermès Evelyne Design Features
The Evelyne is as minimalist as it gets—no lining, no internal pockets, just pure, functional design.
It has an open top, secured only by a small leather tab and a press-stud, so you can grab your stuff on the go.
The wide, detachable canvas strap is crossbody friendly. Fun fact: The strap is actually inspired by a horse’s girth strap (the strap that secures the saddle). A nod to Hermès’ equestrian roots.
It’s often considered a unisex bag because of its clean design.
What to Love About the Evelyne
Casual Style
The Evelyne is a laid-back, easygoing bag with a simple, “no-fuss” design. Its only standout feature is the perforated “H” logo.
Convenient
The Evelyne is easy to grab and go. No zippers or complicated closures—just throw your stuff in and you’re good to go!
Perfect for Travel
With its roomy interior, this bag is perfect for traveling light. It comes with a strap so you can wear it crossbody and have your hands free for other things.
Easy to Customize
Evelyne’s simple design makes it a perfect canvas for adding your personal touch. Attach a fun bag charm or keychain to make it truly yours.
Hermès Evelyne Materials
You’ll find the Evelyne in three leathers: Clemence, Epsom, or Maurice.
Clemence leather
Made from baby bullhide, and has a softer, slouchier feel that develops more character over time. It has a heavier texture with a wide, natural grain, giving it a relaxed look.
Epsom leather
A lightweight, structured calfskin with a stamped grain. This means it holds its shape well and is easy to care for. It’s also rain-resistant. If you want a bright color, Epsom is a great option because it shows color beautifully.
Maurice leather
A newer option, also made from baby bullhide and is similar to Clemence but with a bit more structure. It softens over time but won’t lose its shape as much.

Hermès Evelyne Sizes
The Evelyne III comes in four sizes: TPM, PM, GM, and TGM—also known as Evelyne 16, 29, 33, and 40 (the numbers refer to the bag’s width in centimeters).
With the mini bag trend, the TPM (Evelyne 16) is the most popular. The largest size, TGM, is now rarely produced by Hermès.

Evelyne Sellier
In 2016, Hermès released an evolution of the Evelyne bag – the Evelyne Sellier. The Sellier version is only available in two sizes: 29cm (PM) and 33cm (GM).
While the classic Evelyne is known for its hollow “H” logo, the Sellier version features a subtle embossed H Diamant design.
The Sellier version is mostly made from Vache Hunter leather, a durable, smooth-textured, high-quality calfskin. Hunter leather gives the Sellier version more structure while maintaining a smooth and refined feel.
Classic Evelyne vs. Evelyne Sellier: Which One to Choose?
If you want a casual, everyday look, the classic Evelyne is your best bet, especially with the soft Clemence leather.
If you like more structured bags, the Evelyne Sellier is a more sophisticated option.
Is Hermès Evelyne Hard to Buy?
In the past, the Hermès Evelyne was one of the easiest bags to get. You could just walk into a boutique, check if they had it in stock, or even order it directly from the Hermès website.
But now, things are a bit different. Getting an Evelyne, especially the mini size (Evelyne TPM 16), is not as simple anymore.
So, why’s it so hard to get now?
Popular Colors and Small Sizes Are Hard to Find
The Evelyne TPM (16) is the most popular size, and since mini bags are trending, it sells out super fast. Classic colors like Gold, Noir, Etoupe are even harder to come by.
Supply Varies by Region
Some places just don’t get a lot of Evelyne bags, especially the limited-edition colors. In some regions, they only restock once or twice a year, so getting the right color and size can feel like waiting for a lucky break.
The “Purchase History” Thing Is Still There
Even though Evelyne doesn’t have the same strict quota rules as Birkin or Kelly bags, Hermès still tends to prioritize VIP customers for the more popular colors and sizes. Many people report that to get one, you need to buy other things like scarves, accessories, or other leather goods first.
Hermes Evelyne Bag Price
If you’re buying from an Hermès boutique, a Clemence leather Evelyne TPM is $2,300, and the Evelyne 29 is $4,025.
But because the Evelyne is so popular, it’s not always easy to get in stores, and prices on the resale market can be much higher.
A Evelyne TPM in excellent condition can go for $3,500 to $4,000, depending on colors. So if you’re after one and can’t find it in-store, be prepared to pay extra.
