Hermès petit h Grand Prix bag

At Hermès’ Petit h workshops, artisans turn the traditional design process on its head. Instead of starting with a concept and then finding the materials to match, they begin with existing materials—letting the textures, colors, and forms inspire entirely new creations. This reverse approach, grounded in the principles of surprise and impermanence, leads to the crafting of one-of-a-kind pieces or extremely limited editions. These narrative-rich objects can be discovered at the Hermès boutique on Rue de Sèvres in Paris and occasionally make appearances in Hermès stores worldwide.

Take the Grand Prix bag, for instance. It feels like a playful fusion of the Evelyne TPM en désordre, with its asymmetric cuts and construction, and the Arçon, featuring a key ring and outer pocket. The bag also boasts a generous use of horsehair, adding a distinctive touch that underscores Hermès’ commitment to exceptional materials.

Dimensions: L 33 x W 15 cm | Since this piece is unique, the dimensions may vary.
