Hermès' "H-en-vielle" bags, with their tilted "H" graphic covering the entire surface, have been attracting attention, but this season's new small leather goods are also a gem.
The highlight of the collection is the minimalist construction and stitchwork, which is modeled after the "Cavasellier," a single-piece bag that accentuates the supple leather. The former is obvious at a glance, and the stripped-down pattern-making is endlessly beautiful. The latter point to be seen is the treatment of the corners.
Following the strong and neat hand-stitched stitches developed in the harness industry, you will see stitchwork that can certainly be read as an "H" in the corner. One can only take one's hat off to the craftsmanship that gives form to this sense of fun and playfulness.
The folded and stitched card case also features a unique storage structure: in addition to the three card pockets, there is a hidden pocket for tickets.
This card case is cleverly folded and made. The stitching and the vivid color of the inside add accents. JPY63,800
