Hermès AW26 Accessories
The Story: From Paddock to Penthouse
This season, the Hermès woman travels from the stable to the city. She demands function without sacrificing her undeniable flair. The collection features rainproof “Paddock” covers for iconic silhouettes. It also introduces whimsical leather charms like the Sous-Marin submarine. Every piece tells a story of meticulous French craftsmanship.
Women’s Leather Goods: The New Icons
The Clo de Forge bag leads the charge in smooth box calfskin. Its clasp mimics a horseshoe nail, hugging the bag’s curves. We also see the Nouveau Sac de Jour in Togo calfskin. Its handles mimic stirrup straps, offering a generous, structured volume.
The It-Pieces: Mini Marvels and Sporty Chic
The Bolide 1923 mini Élan is the season’s “must-have” silhouette. It offers a fresh, elongated allure for the evening. For the rainy season, the Kelly Retourné Paddock is essential. Its Twillcoat canvas cover protects your investment from the elements.
The Whimsy of Silk and Small Leathers
The Selle en éclats scarf fanned out like a carousel. It shows the technical beauty of a saddle. Meanwhile, the Sous Marin charm adds a wink of 1960s nostalgia. It features a spinning propeller and glove stitching.
