Hermès Petit H Wicker Minaudière Malachite Epsom Leather & Silk

Sale price$6,950.00 USD

Hermès Petit H Wicker Minaudière Malachite Epsom Leather & Silk

This Hermès Wicker Minaudière is a unique creation from the Petit H atelier. Founded by Pascale Mussard, Petit H operates on the philosophy of "creation in reverse," where artisans and designers dream up objects based on available archival materials rather than starting with a design. This specific piece is constructed from two shells of handwoven Natural Wicker (Osier), a material typically reserved for the coveted "Picnic" line.

The organic texture of the wicker is framed by Malachite Epsom leather, a deep, saturated green that serves as the hinge and wristlet strap. Inside, the clutch features a Silk insert—likely repurposed from the house's scarf production—to protect the contents. Because Petit H creations are dictated by the materials at hand, this exact combination of wicker weave, Malachite leather, and specific silk pattern is effectively a one-of-a-kind object, distinct from the standardized main-line production.

JaneFinds Collector’s Insight:
Petit H items are prized for their creativity and the fact that they are often "Unique Pieces" (Pièce Unique). Finding a Petit H bag that utilizes Wicker is exceptionally rare; most Petit H bags are leather or silk totes. This minaudière bridges the gap between the whimsical nature of the atelier and the high-value material normally associated with the Kelly Picnic, making it a sophisticated "Easter Egg" for serious collectors.

JaneFinds Market Insight:
While Petit H is a niche category, pieces that function as structured evening bags (minaudières) rather than charms or totes hold significant value. The presence of Wicker is a major value driver here. Collectors of the "Picnic" series often seek out these rare offshoots to complete a material-focused collection. Pricing reflects the exclusivity of the object rather than a standard retail benchmark.
