Hermes Evelyne Mini Honest Review
The newest Hermes bag in my collection is the Hermes Evelyne Mini. Which is also known as the Evelyne TPM or the Evelyne 16; it is the smallest bag in the Hermes Evelyne lineup. This mini bag is definitely worth purchasing due to its timeless classic design, high quality leather and craftsmanship, and cross-body design making it easy to wear.
Why it is worth purchasing?
I adore my new bag and am extremely happy with it. After wearing, it now for a few weeks, there are 3 main reasons why I think this bag is worth adding to your handbag collection.
The first reason is that it is a classic, timeless bag. All Evelyne bags are known for their saddle design, perforated H emblem on the front of the bag, and its casual aesthetic.
The second reason, this mini bag is worth purchasing is the cross-body design is versatile, making it easy to wear. This bag can be worn as a cross-body bag, as a shoulder bag, or you can even replace the straps with Hermes Twillys. The Evelyne Mini is casual enough to be worn during the day, but can also transition to a night bag due to its small nature.
The final reason I recommend this bag is the craftsmanship and leather used to make this bag. Hermes's artisans have to train for 2 + years in order to assemble an Evelyne bag by hand. The perfection that goes into the perforated H emblem, which is all done by hand, is remarkable. I’m truly blown away by Hermes’ craftsmanship.
What is the size?
6.5” W x 7” H x 2” D with a strap drop of 22.5”
It is important to note that the strap is not adjustable. Hermes does offer different strap options you can purchase if you want a shorter or thicker strap.
What fits inside the bag?
The Evelyne Mini bag is small but has plenty of space for the essentials. It can easily hold a cell phone, keys, a credit card holder, and a lipstick.
