"The beginning of Evelyne"

The Evelyne was created in 1978 by Évelyne Bertrand,
then head of Hermès' riding department, and her team. 

It was originally developed
to conveniently carry existing horse care tools
such as brushes, combs, and picks.

A simple leather body
with a small opening-closing belt
and snap buttons.
It has a wide, removable strap and
was designed to be worn crossbody,
so you can keep both hands free.
A vertical oval design
inspired by a horse's shoe.


One of the biggest features is
the “H” shaped punched logo on one side.
Not only is it used as a decoration,
but it also serves to improve ventilation
so that air can reach the care tools.




It was originally designed to be worn
with the hole side facing towards the body.
