09/06/2023

If we all have in mind the famous orange Hermès, which allows you to know what a bright orange box contains before even opening it, the many other Hermès colors regularly make us dream. The Parisian Maison brings the same precision to the definition of the shades which adorn its sacs than in the making of the latter. In this article, we present for you some of the colors with the poetic names of the palette of Hermès leather goods.


The basics

At its beginnings and for a long time, the Maison Hermès did not market its hand bags only in a restricted and sober palette of seven shades. The colors offered, sober and timeless, allowed everyone to find what they were looking for. Among these great classics, all have been skillfully crafted, using a mixture of unique pigments giving birth to a deep and easily identifiable color.

Three of them are currently part of the permanent Hermès collection : black, the taupe called “Étoupe” and “Gold”, a nuance caramel with golden undertones. Very popular with Hermès fans, these colors take on different reflections depending on the materials on which they are applied.

The other basic colors of the Hermès leather goods are also very successful. The “Royal Blue”, the “ Red Hermes", the "Parchment" (a nuance beige rosé) and the “Vert Anglais” are particularly popular for a first luxury purchase

We also love the “Hay”, “Sage” or “Canopy” shades, shades close to khaki which can soberly complement everyday looks, and the entire range of gray, combining sophistication and modernity.

 


Finally, the eggplant color natural like “Plum” or “Grape” are also very popular: particularly pretty combined with all denim pieces, they decorate, among other things, the sacs Kelly with brio.


Pop colors

Appearing more recently, pop colors notably energize the new collections, during which the new colors are impatiently awaited by Hermès aficionados. In recent years, “Bubblegum Pink” and “Comics Green” have, for example, appeared on handbags from Maison Hermès

Let it be said: the brand's bright reds are wildly successful, and you will certainly have difficulty resisting the Vintega selection of second-hand scarlet Hermès bags ! Of " Red Tomato” to “Peony”, they are modern and sparkling and easily match a varied wardrobe. For all those looking for an even more flamboyant piece, the “Rose Tyrien”, “Rose Azalée” as well as the purple “Cyclamen” or “Anémone” and all their variations will be favorites.

As for blues, you can go for the “Bleu de France”, the “Bleu Paon” or the “Lagon” without making a mistake. Finally, for multivitamin versions of your favorite Hermès bags, consider taking a look at the brighter yellows and greens like “Kiwi,” “Lime,” or “Bamboo.”

Pastel shades

If the brightest colors light up the collections, the pastel shades highlight the delicacy of the hermes bags, whose fine lines and elegant silhouettes are known throughout the world. The pastel offering, more limited than the others, is however still well represented in the annual collections.

THE sacs Birkin et Kelly are particularly highlighted by soft shades such as “Linen Blue”, “Sylvester Mauve” or “Glycine”. Pale greens and yellows, which are rarer, nevertheless do not lack charm: they will allow you to compose looks from monochrome, always very chic. 

THE roses pastel just like apricot tones like “Mango” are real radiance boosters daily.
