A new addition for the season ahead, Hermès introduces the Box Bag, defined by its sleek east-west silhouette and pared-back design. The understated rectangular clasp resembles the links found on the vintage Hermès Rallye watch, composed of H-shaped links in a mix of gold and palladium. This distinctive Electrum hardware, a fusion of mixed metals, is now making its way onto select styles, including the Kelly, 24/24, Cinhetic bag, and, of course, this all-new Box Bag.
This quiet luxury style harkens to Phoebe Philo’s iconic Céline Classic Box Bag, which seemed inspired by Hermès’ Constance. With an adjustable shoulder strap, this chic accessory was showcased in black and gray on the runway, shown both hand-held and on the shoulder. At the Hermès Re-see, the Box Bag was also presented in a deep shade of green.
