Is the Hermès Evelyne discontinued?

No, the Hermés Evelyne has not been discontinued. Online sources suggest that the Evelyne TPM (Très Petit Modèle), which is the reportedly most popular version of the iconic French luxury house’s bag, has been renamed the Evelyne 16 (it’s 16 centimeters wide). As the Hermès Evelyne is a widely coveted bag, and it may not be easy to find exactly the version you want.

The Evelyne bag is a crossbody bag with a belt closure. It was created in 1978 and is named for its designer, Evelyne Bertrand. In line with the roots of Hermès, which began as a maker of leather equestrian goods for European noblemen, Bertrand’s bag was initially intended to carry grooming equipment (she was the head of the house’s riding department when she designed the accessory).

Today, after expanding upon its expert stitching techniques to create handbags, luggage and travel bags, briefcases, crossbody bags and other accessories, Hermès is considered one of the most luxurious fashion and lifestyle brands in the world. And vintage Hermès handbags and purses are catnip to collectors — a Birkin bag, for example, might be on many fashion lovers' wish lists, but to the hardcore collector, one is never enough.
