Hermès Trim 31 Anate Gold and Rainbow Swift Palladium Hardware

Originally created in 1958, the Trim has a close-to-the-body shape that leaves the shoulder strap and curved opening clearly defined. Here, the smooth upper panels provide a calm surface above the fringe, letting the bag’s silhouette remain legible even when the strands are moving.

The squared bottom features 44 hand-tied fringes creating the Anate animation in a rainbow effect. Individually knotted along the lower edge, the leather strands extend the outline well below the body and separate as the bag moves. Their changing spacing gives this version its particular rhythm.

A slender shoulder strap rises from the side edges, and the snap-hook fastening falls vertically at the front. Rounded lower corners soften the body’s upright shape, while the fine stitching traces its perimeter. These restrained upper details keep the long fringe as the focal point.

Collector's Insight:
The Anate variation changes the lower outline of the Trim without removing its recognizable curved opening and snap-hook fastening. The rainbow fringe distinguishes it from single-color fringed versions.

Resale Insight:
When comparing Trim Anate examples, the full fringe arrangement, attachment points and strap proportions matter alongside the body. The rainbow treatment is this example’s defining distinction from plain Trim bags.
