Hermès Hermail Tutti Frutti Lemon Bag
$8,500.00
The Tutti Frutti line was Hermès at its most literal: a Spring/Summer 2016 run of small leather goods built as whole fruit shapes rather than fruit motifs, across four forms that season, Apple, Lemon, Orange and Strawberry.

The story behind the Hermail
Hermès bag sold in the Tutti-Frutti line as the Hermail Tutti-Frutti Pomme and Hermail Tutti-Frutti Citron.
Read the Hermail referenceThis Lemon is worked in chèvre goatskin, cut and stitched into the fruit's irregular, tapered silhouette. A small leaf-shaped pull in a contrasting tone caps the zip running along the top seam, closed in palladium hardware.
A detachable leather strap lets the piece carry as a standalone crossbody or clip onto a Birkin or Kelly as an oversized charm. Once detached, it also pairs with a house chain: the JANEFINDS Mariner Crossbody Chain or the JANEFINDS Cuban Crossbody Chain.
Collector's Insight:
Tutti Frutti ran one season only and never returned, so the population is whatever survived 2016. Most of what circulates on the secondary market is the flat coin-purse format; a whole-fruit-shaped piece at this larger bag scale, built to be worn rather than just clipped on, is the harder configuration to find.
Resale Insight:
Novelty Hermès pieces trade on condition and format rarity rather than waitlist scarcity, and buyers here are typically collectors completing a fruit set. A shaped bag at this scale draws more attention than the smaller coin-purse pieces because it was made in fewer numbers and is less often offered.
