Last week, Hermès held its Fall/Winter 2024 Objects presentation, showcasing new bags and accessories beyond the brand’s runway offering. The presentation was a mix of refreshed versions of fan favorites and exciting new shapes.
One of those new shapes, dubbed the Faubourg Express, is the Hermès take on the increasingly popular East/West shoulder bag trend, and IMHO, it’s one of the best we’ve seen. The shape itself screams chic on its own, but with the Hermès touch, the Faubourg Express knocks it out of the park.
Introducing the Faubourg Express
With a sleek silhouette that focuses on length, the bag is simple overall, meant to showcase the House’s unparalleled leather craftsmanship, with unique stylistic details that speak to Hermès history.
Crafted from Evergrain calfskin, the shape features metal feet and a unique side clasp mechanism inspired by the Plume bag and the Quirus briefcase from the 1970s.
Launching later this year, the Faubourg Express also comes in a mini size, which functions best as a top handle, while the larger size is the perfect little shoulder bag. If you’re looking for a stylish bag with an attention to quality and craft that is unmatched, the Faubourg is it.
Overall dimensions are 16cm H x 21.5cm W x 7.5cm D for the mini and 22cm H x 29.5cm W x 9cm D.
