Hermès Toupet Bucket Bag Vert Foncé Horse Hair Noir Evercalf Palladium Hardware
Hermès Toupet Bucket Bag Vert Foncé Horse Hair Noir Evercalf Palladium Hardware
The Toupet came off the Hermès Spring/Summer 2017 runway, a mini bucket bag built from real horse hair cut into tiers of fringe that fall in layers from a Noir Evercalf collar to the base. In Vert Foncé the hair reads as a deep teal-green that shifts with the light as the fringe moves, the bag named for the toupet, the forelock of mane that falls between a horse's ears, in keeping with the house's equestrian vocabulary.
The structure is a leather bucket beneath the fringe: Noir Evercalf forms the collar, base, and single flat top handle, the open top closes by drawstring, and the interior is lined in black Chèvre. Palladium hardware keeps the fittings cool against the dark hair. A runway novelty produced in small numbers, built as an evening piece where the moving fringe is the entire effect.

Collector's Insight:
The Toupet is a runway-only Hermès novelty, produced in small numbers for Spring/Summer 2017 and never part of the standard catalog. Real horse hair is a material the house uses rarely and almost never in this volume, and the tiered-fringe construction has not been repeated, which places the Toupet with collectors of runway and novelty pieces rather than the leather-bag market. Vert Foncé is among the most striking of the limited color runs the bag appeared in.
Resale Insight:
Runway novelty pieces from Hermès trade outside standard leather-bag dynamics, valued on rarity and the fact that the construction was never reissued rather than on color cycles or size demand. The Toupet surfaces infrequently, condition is critical because the horse hair cannot be restored once disturbed, and a pristine example with box and dust bag sits at the top of the available supply.

JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain
The JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain is hand-knotted from up to 60 varieties of natural semi-precious stones strung between lobster-clasp hardware at each end. The clasp configuration attaches directly to the sangle hardware of Hermès bags and converts the bag to crossbody or shoulder wear. The chain also functions independently as a long necklace without a bag attached.
Documented stone varieties include amethyst, apatite, carnelian, citrine, emerald, labradorite, lemon quartz, peach moonstone, peridot, Peruvian opal, pink moonstone, prehnite, rose quartz, ruby, sunstone, and tourmaline. Each stone is individually hand-knotted between adjacent stones, securing the strand against bead loss in the event of any single break. Stones are sorted into four documented colorways: Rainbow, Natural, Turquoise, and Malachite. Exact stone composition within each colorway varies by piece due to the natural variation of the source materials.
Standard length is 44 inches (112 cm), which produces a crossbody drop appropriate for Hermès bags 25 cm and smaller, including the Mini Kelly 20 II, Kelly Pochette, Constance 18 and 24, and Birkin 25. The chain can be doubled to produce a shorter shoulder drop or wrist-wrap carry, and worn as a standalone necklace at full length. Hardware (Gold or Palladium clasp) is selected at order.
Length: 44" | 112 cm
Material: Semi-Precious Stones, Hand-Knotted
Hardware: Gold or Palladium clasp (selected at order)
Colorways: Rainbow / Natural / Turquoise / Malachite
Recommended For: Hermès bags 25 cm and smaller (Mini Kelly 20 II, Kelly Pochette, Constance 18, Constance 24, Birkin 25)

Note: Each chain is unique. Stones fall within the selected colorway range; exact composition varies by piece.
Styling Notes:
The chain pairs with the full JaneFinds accessory chain collection for coordinated multi-chain layering. Standard wear is single-strand crossbody; doubling produces a shorter shoulder carry. The lobster-clasp configuration matches Hermès sangle hardware proportions and does not require additional adapters.

JaneFinds Cuban Crossbody Chain
The JaneFinds Cuban Crossbody Chain converts top-handle carry of Hermès Kelly and Mini Kelly bags into crossbody or shoulder wear without altering the bag. Cuban link is a flat, twist-pattern chain construction: each link rotates 90 degrees relative to its neighbors and interlocks tightly, producing a chain that lays flush against the body rather than twisting or rolling at the strap line. The pattern is the standard reference for flat-laying chainwork and remains the most stable shoulder-strap chain construction for weighted top-handle bags.
Hardware finish is offered in Gold or Palladium to match Hermès hardware on the carrying bag. Each chain terminates in a lobster clasp at one end and a spring ring at the other, attaching directly to the Kelly's sangle D-rings without adapters. Two clip sizes are offered: Standard Clip for Kelly 25, 28, 32, and 35; Small Clip for Mini Kelly 20 II, Vintage Mini Kelly, and Mini Bolide. Link gauge is selected as Wide or Narrow at order; Wide produces a heavier, more visually present chain, Narrow a finer line.
Standard chain length is 44 inches (112 cm), which produces a standard crossbody drop for most Kelly sizes. The chain can be doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or worn standalone as a necklace. Pairs with the JaneFinds Beaded Semi-Precious Stone Crossbody Chain and other accessory chain collection pieces for layered styling.
