\"Herm\u00e8s<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the glittering, competitive world of Herm\u00e8s bags<\/a>, two designs reign supreme: the Birkin<\/a> and the Kelly<\/a>. These are, without question, two of the most famous handbags ever made, their renown bolstered by their celebrity namesakes and timeless design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like all Herm\u00e8s bags, they\u2019re made in limited quantities and can be difficult to acquire. But there are other bags<\/a> from the historic house well worth paying attention to, and we\u2019ve rounded up a selection of ones that are available now on 1stDibs. No, you won\u2019t find a Constance<\/a> or a Picotin<\/a> on the list. In fact, most of the bags on it can\u2019t be purchased from Herm\u00e8s anymore. These are limited editions<\/a>, one-offs and discontinued treasures waiting to be snapped up by the Herm\u00e8s enthusiast who\u2019s searching for something truly unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Herm\u00e8s Symbiose<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Herm\u00e8s<\/a>

If Pablo Picasso had ventured into handbag design, he might have conjured a masterpiece like the Herm\u00e8s Symbiose<\/a>. The large tote-style bag is a deliciously funky collage of brightly saturated exotic hides, with a flap sporting the house’s iconic turn lock perched asymmetrically on an upper corner. The panels of ostrich, suede, calfskin and crocodile make it seem like four bags in one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Herm\u00e8s Bombay<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Hermes<\/a>

Introduced around 20 years ago, the Herm\u00e8s Bombay 27 bag<\/a> feels shockingly current. The east-west design is modeled after a doctor\u2019s bag, and this example is made of a delicious deep red-toned chocolate-brown ostrich skin, a favorite among collectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Herm\u00e8s Petit H Skeleton<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Hermes<\/a>

Behold the inverse of a Birkin. The Herm\u00e8s Skeleton tote<\/a> is a unique creation from the Petit H studio, which uses scraps from Herm\u00e8s\u2019s routine leather production to make some of the maison<\/em>‘s most adventurous designs. Sewn to the tote\u2019s wool base is a sheet of leather from which Birkin bag details were cut out. It\u2019s a playful exercise in waste reduction and a luxurious utilitarian experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Herm\u00e8s 24\/24<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Hermes<\/a>

The Herm\u00e8s 24\/24 bag<\/a> is so named for a simple reason: It\u2019s intended to be used 24 hours a day. Released in 2018, this little workhorse is both structured and flexible, with a top handle and an optional crossbody strap. The body and the contrasting upper flaps securing the metal turn lock form a tricolor palette that radiates creative refinement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Herm\u00e8s Doctor Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Hermes<\/a>

The Bombay\u2019s elongated shape may have been inspired by a doctor\u2019s bag, but this is the real deal<\/a>. A gorgeous example of Herm\u00e8s’s mid-century craftsmanship, the substantial design comprises a structured metal-framed top bag and a suede-lined lower compartment for additional storage. Clad in rich brown crocodile hide, this beautiful model would cause quite a stir in a doctor\u2019s office, but today it is a far more likely to be carried by a pro athlete than a physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Herm\u00e8s Tigre Royal Bucket Bag<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Herm\u00e8s<\/a>
Herm\u00e8s Tigre Royal bucket bag in Toile Chevron canvas and Barenia leather, 2010<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

A real wild<\/em> card, the Herm\u00e8s Tigre Royal bucket bag<\/a> exudes confidence. This canvas and Barenia leather piece was produced in 2010, the year of the tiger in the Chinese zodiac. The lush Tigre Royal print \u2014 created in 1977 by Christiane Vauzelles, who was known for her scarf designs \u2014 has graced Herm\u00e8s\u2019s scarves and other small accessories for decades, but bags sporting the motif are uncommon species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Herm\u00e8s Clutch<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Herm\u00e8s<\/a>
Herm\u00e8s brown crocodile Ghw clutch, 1997<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The Herm\u00e8s world contains many rare models, but this extraordinary clutch<\/a> verges on the unique. So few of the minaudi\u00e8res were made that the design doesn’t have a proper name. Dating to 1997, this example boasts a rich honey-brown crocodile exterior with a flared shape you won\u2019t find in any other Herm\u00e8s bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Herm\u00e8s Sac \u00e0 D\u00e9p\u00eaches<\/h2>\n\n\n

In Herm\u00e8s symbology, the horseshoe has a special meaning. A nod to the house\u2019s equestrian roots, when appearing in a bag\u2019s interior, it denotes a special-order item made for a VIP client. Such commissions often result in shocking combinations, as witness this Sac \u00e0 D\u00e9p\u00eaches briefcase<\/a> in electric blue and rose Jaipur Epsom leather. Fans of Ryan Murphy\u2019s All\u2019s Fair<\/em> might see this as a natural choice for Kim Kardashian\u2019s character, who made headlines with her vibrant takes on white-collar luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Herm\u00e8s Shoulder Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Herm\u00e8s<\/a>
Herm\u00e8s green-gray lizard shoulder bag, 1980s<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

This slim saddle bag<\/a> is so unusual that few would guess its maker at first glance. The luxurious lizard exterior hints at Herm\u00e8s provenance, but the silhouette is not one generally associated with the house. Endlessly versatile, the 1980s piece offers chic, quiet sophistication that everyone will notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Herm\u00e8s Top-Handle Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Herm\u00e8s<\/a>
Herm\u00e8s crocodile top-handle bag, 1960s<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

This handbag<\/a> is an old-school gem. Structured, ladylike and unmistakably vintage, it is made of a glossy toffee-colored crocodile that gleams with sumptuous heritage. The modernist gold clasp doesn\u2019t give away its maker, but the discreet inner stamp confirms the obvious \u2014 this was crafted by one of the oldest and most renowned bag ateliers in the world. Not just an accessory, it represents the prestigious history of Herm\u00e8s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
