With the arrival of the spring and summer seasons, Hermès’ 2022 spring/summer collection has been gradually released. The new handbags from Hermès are, of course, the focus of attention. In addition to women’s handbags, the men’s styles are also worth considering, with understated and elegant designs that will captivate both men and women with Hermès’ craftsmanship. Take advantage of the recent new arrivals and let’s take a look at some selected handbag styles together.
Backpack 後背包
Although this is a men’s handbag style, it is definitely worth introducing to you. When it comes to Hermès classics, people can easily name the two iconic works, Kelly and Birkin, but the brand’s first handbag was actually the “Haut à courroies”. In 2022, the brand decided to add this classic piece to men’s designs, and in the 2022 autumn/winter collection, a new variation was introduced, reinterpreting classic elements such as polished flaps and buckles in the design of a backpack.
This backpack, named HAC À DOS, is made of high-quality calf leather, large enough to fit an iPad. The strap length is adjustable, allowing for versatile wear as a shoulder bag, crossbody bag, or side bag. In the trend of unisex fashion, both men and women can easily carry it off. Priced at HK$64,500.
Hermès Kelly & BIRKIN
Hermès’ Kelly and Birkin can be said to be the brand’s flagship series. Coming to the new quarter, the handbags have added Colormatic color-blocking elements, bringing rich visual interest by adding geometric color blocks to the original classic bag body.
Hermès Sabot horseshoe-shaped handbag
A brand rooted in equestrian origins, Hermès has always designed details that echo the brand’s historical roots. The Hermès Sabot series handbags, inspired by the horseshoe shape, pay tribute to the brand’s unique aesthetic perspective with their distinct silhouette, showcasing the brand’s exquisite craftsmanship. Whether in full leather styles or styles combining wicker weaving with leather straps, all are handmade. The sides are tied with straps, paired with a half-covered Butler calf leather metal handle, highlighting the beauty of leather and metal materials.
Maximors handbag
The smooth and rounded curves are the main feature of this compact cylindrical bag, incorporating equestrian elements from the Hermès brand DNA, with the inspiration from a horse’s bit used as the metal handle. The rectangular handbag comes with a meticulously crafted clasp: simply lift the central shiny metal part to open the bag, and press the leather part to lock it with a discreet and understated “H” shape.
“Bolide Skate” series
The “Bolide” handbag, inspired by the skateboarding world, leads you to break free from the mundane daily life. The bottom of the bag is decorated with street art style prints from the scarf series, echoing the design of skateboards. The four decorative studs on the bottom of the bag are in line with the four wheels of a skateboard. The collection includes travel bags and messenger bag styles, the former adorned with a “Fingerskate” pendant, and the latter with a detachable shoulder strap with adjustable length.
