This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/fashion\/handbags-purses-bags\/shoulder-bags\/exceptional-hermes-passe-guide-bag-shiny-ebene-porosus-crocodile-ghw-rare\/id-v_15506152\/\">Passe-Guide bag<\/a> in \u00c9b\u00e8ne porosus crocodile from 1990 is one such jewel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Herm\u00e8s was founded in 1837 as a workshop producing fine equestrian harnesses for Europe\u2019s elite. The firm soon expanded into saddlery, later establishing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/hermes\/fashion\/clothing\/\">clothing<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/hermes\/fashion\/accessories\/\">accessories<\/a> lines for which it is now  revered. The form and details of the Passe-Guide pay homage to the atelier\u2019s utilitarian roots. The saddle-shaped bag was created by the prolific in-house designer and artistic director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/henri-dorigny\/fashion\/\">Henri d\u2019Origny<\/a>, whose distinguished tenure of more than 50 years began in 1958. The Passe-Guide was first released in 1975 and again, in limited quantities, in 2012 and 2013. The now discontinued style is rarely seen on the secondary market. When a Passe-Guide does appear, it makes an impact: A one-of-a-kind crocodile edition in a shocking green hue produced in 2012 achieved $122,000 at auction that same year, and only a handful have circulated since. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"546\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220420_152138_master-copy-546x950.jpg\" alt=\"The rare Herm\u00e8s Passe-Guide bag, side view\" class=\"wp-image-415657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220420_152138_master-copy-546x950.jpg 546w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220420_152138_master-copy-201x350.jpg 201w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220420_152138_master-copy-69x120.jpg 69w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220420_152138_master-copy-536x933.jpg 536w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220420_152138_master-copy.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Passe-Guide&#8217;s golden frame is fitted with stirrups that invoke Herm\u00e8s\u2019s equestrian history.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are not enough words to describe the timeless beauty of this little gem,&#8221; Claire Branger, the founder of designer resale boutique <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/luxe-et-vous\/\">Luxe et Vous<\/a>, says of this piece, which she is offering on 1stDibs. &#8220;The Passe-Guide\u2019s structured shape gives it infinite class, and its versatile format makes it the ideal companion in all situations.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Birkin and Kelly are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/counterfeit-hermes-birkin-bag\/\">instantly recognizable<\/a> by their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/hermes-kelly-bag\/\">angular, top-handled shape<\/a>, the Passe-Guide has a more curvilinear form, with a rounded gusset and crossbody strap, suggesting a more adventurous spirit. The sangles, thin belt straps that in the Birkin and Kelly connect to Herm\u00e8s\u2019s trademark turn-lock closure, are replaced by a small leather band and gold loop securing the bag\u2019s front flap. The centerpiece of the Passe-Guide\u2019s construction is the golden frame supporting its curvature. The two horseshoe-like sides of the frame are fitted with stirrups that secure the bag\u2019s body to its strap and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/fashion-logos\/\">invoke the house&#8217;s rich equestrian history<\/a>. Gilded sculptural embellishments are cherished hallmarks in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/fashion\/handbags-purses-bags\/\">handbags<\/a> from brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/schiaparelli\/\">Schiaparelli<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/bottega-veneta\/\">Bottega Veneta<\/a> and others, but the kind of bold conceptual ornamentation seen here is infrequent in Herm\u00e8s\u2019s leather goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a true insider\u2019s \u2018If you know, you know\u2019 piece,\u201d says Branger. The sumptuous ebony-brown crocodile hide alone is enough to entice astute collectors, as exotic skins are notoriously difficult to secure from the firm directly. At a moment when prestige fashion brands and buyers are prioritizing quality workmanship in their products and acquisitions, the Passe-Guide embodies an illustrious heritage of masterful craft \u2014 the true m\u00e9tier of Herm\u00e8s. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"279\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/12841262_master.jpg\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"Hermes Birkin bag\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/hermes\/fashion\/handbags-purses-bags\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tShop Herm\u00e8s Handbags on 1stDibs\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/hermes\/fashion\/handbags-purses-bags\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>View All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Herm\u00e8s stable of covetable handbags, it is largely agreed that the Birkin and Kelly reign as the preeminent symbols of the maison\u2019s superb craftsmanship.
