Long adjustable canvas strap in black or contrasting black canvas with brushed silver metal hardware. Unlined, untreated leather interior. Leather tab closure at back.

Launched in 1978 by HERMÈS, the Evelyne model was originally conceived as a bag for grooms, but its functionality and minimalist aesthetics quickly made it a cult object outside the equestrian field. Version I (first generation) lacks a back pocket, which reinforces its pure utilitarian character and differentiates it from later versions. In black color and GM size, this piece combines sobriety and large capacity, making it ideal for both everyday use and collectors of functional luxury design.
