Today, it is seen as an everyday handbag that is convenient for our busy schedules, but back then, it had been strictly made for the Hermès equestrian department. It is strange to think that the logo originally was supposed to be worn up against the wearer, rather than on the outside for all to see! As the bag became popular with trend setters rather than horse riders, it got flipped around so the H was visible on the outside. It was done this way to allow the grooming tools to be aired and dried out whilst being carried around against the body. The H logo has always been ‘etched’ onto the bag using perforated holes. It also included a removable shoulder strap and a small belt closure, again, the same as today. To keep it simple for the wearer, especially seeing as they would need convenience as they tended to their horse, it had been designed with a saddle-like silhouette in a messenger bag style – the same style seen today. Originally it was designed in 1978 when Evelyne Bertrard, the head of the Hermès riding department, created a bag along with her team that would be used to carry horse grooming equipment. We all know the history of the iconic Hermès Birkin bag, but the Evelyne is not as well known when it comes to its origins. Whether you have a fair number of Hermès Evelyne bags already, or are looking to buy your first one, here we take a look at the bag in more detail, from the history to how much a bag can retail for. It has an adjustable strap, a main compartment, an external pocket and a leather belt closure (depending on which version you buy). It can be worn on the most casual of days, and it offers functionality a lot of designer bags just do not have. It is perfect for those who are seeking an entry-level Hermès bag.
