Hermès 2002-20 Sieste au Paradis Silk Swift Lime Palladium Hardware

Hermès 2002-20 Sieste au Paradis Silk Swift Lime Palladium Hardware

The 2002 borrows its structure from the Constance—boxy, flap-fronted, shoulder-carried—but replaces the overt H clasp with a circular closure that reads as geometric detail rather than logo. Debuted in 2018, it's the quieter alternative for collectors who prefer hardware that doesn't announce itself.

This limited edition pairs the 20cm silhouette with printed silk panels from Aline Honoré's Sieste au Paradis design. Rocky cliffs rendered in grey, Aleppo pines in chartreuse and olive, branches in magenta and orange against a lime-yellow sky. The Swift leather trim and strap match the dominant yellow tone. Palladium hardware maintains cool contrast against the warm print. A 2020 Y stamp places production in the period when Hermès released these silk-paneled special editions.

JaneFinds Collector's Insight:
The 2002 in silk-print editions represents a limited production run—Hermès paired select scarf designs with the bag silhouette for specific seasons. Sieste au Paradis depicts the Calanques cliffs of southern France, a subject Honoré chose for its wild, untouched character. These editions appeal to collectors who want recognizable Hermès scarf artistry in bag form without the ubiquity of leather classics.

JaneFinds Market Insight:
Silk-paneled 2002 bags trade at premiums over standard leather versions due to limited availability. The print introduces color complexity that leather alone cannot achieve. Pristine examples with current-decade production hold value among collectors seeking special editions rather than core inventory.
