Amid Parisian winter’s frosty embrace, Hermès ushered in a world of sartorial warmth and sophistication with the unveiling of its Men’s Winter 2024 collection. The Palais d’léna was transformed into a sanctuary of laid-back luxury, meticulously curated by the visionary designer Véronique Nichanian.

Hermès’ men’s runway on Saturday, January 20, 2024, unfolded as a testament to subtlety, with muted tones and the stealth wealth aesthetic echoing throughout. The collection seamlessly marries luxury and functionality – where gum raincoats meet Prince of Wales check. At its core, the materials take center stage, ranging from deerskin flannel, and cashmere to alpaca, and iridescent wool cloth.

Leather, a hallmark of Hermès, found its place in the collection with narrowly tailored trousers, short pea coats, and parkas crafted in calfskin. This season narrative is without a doubt defined by versatility, as described by Hermès:
“The clothing’s construction is reinvented through play with shapes and counter shapes, with cuts and cutouts, with graphic signatures. . .
A muted palette lights up in acid strokes and deep shimmers. Heather, peat, pumpkin, anise, crocus, khaki. The evening, all in shades of black and brown, shades of matte and shiny, slices through a luminous winter night. Beneath the casual appearance, a sophistication breaks free.”

Complete with an adjustable wide strap, the bag can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody. Inside, there’s ample room, enough to accommodate more than 20 Mini Kelly 20s (and then some). Who knows, you might even discover PurseBop’s Studded Mini Kelly nestled within!

The Hermès Équipier Pouches, also known as the ‘Sac a Velo’, appear as a versatile accessory that seamlessly combines utility with luxury. Its design, specifically tailored for men’s bicycles, has a strategic weight distribution to ensure it fits comfortably across the bicycle bars.
Created with the modern man in mind, the smooth Calfskin construction adds a touch of luxury and also pays homage to Hermès’ heritage. This multi-functional pouch offers a diverse range of styling options – wristlet, clutch, crossbody, or on the shoulder.

The Plume returns to the runway, in a distinguished deep brown hue with undertones of burgundy, showcasing another heritage leather – Butler. With its understated yet chic design, the Plume allows the richness of the leather to take center stage, while the distressed aesthetic adds a touch of casual elegance.
Designed for everyday use, the Plume effortlessly transitions from practical functionality to a stylish carry-on companion. Undoubtedly, the Plume has resurfaced as a firm favorite at Hermès in 2024.
There are three new colors for Spring/Summer 2024: Orange Field, a medium-bright Orange with rosy undertones. Jaune Milton, a pale buttercup yellow similar to Jaune Poussin. Gris Misty, a dark, steely gray with some blue undertones.
Why are Birkin bags so expensive? The exceptional level of craftsmanship in producing the handbag is the rationale for the company's pricing. Each Birkin takes a minimum of 18 hours to make as a single artisan hand-sews, buffs, paints and polishes the bag, according to Sotheby's.
The 21cm x 16cm mini size features a top handle and a long adjustable and removable shoulder strap that allows it to be worn as (similar to the Hac a Dos) a sling bag, belt or waist bag, backpack, crossbody bag.
The vast majority of Hermès products are manufactured at our production sites in France. Our bags, luggage and small leather goods are produced by our artisans at approximately 12 French leather goods manufacturing facilities.
If you love grey, Gris Misty released in 2024 is the color for you. Hermès describes it as “takes its name from the veil of mist contained in this delicately bluish median gray.” The Hermès mini 24/24 in Gris Misty is perfect if you want a darker bag but have too much navy hues and black in the Hermès collection.
The Bougainvillea color is one of the rarest Hermes colors and can be described as a light tone of red with raspberry and pink undertones. This particular color is extremely difficult to find elsewhere and is a very hard color to obtain on a Clemence leather.
Both Hermès and Chanel's starting prices for bags are in the thousands of dollars, with Chanel's most affordable offering at $1,700. Hermès prices are overall higher, with Birkin prices starting at over $9,000.
Well, then you've definitely heard of the infamous Kelly bags. This Hermès bag is a customer favourite but can be as tricky to obtain as Birkin bags. However, the Birkin tends to be more elusive because of its iconic status in the fashion world. It's also the price point that makes Hermès bags more attainable.
