You had your first look at the 2002 Bag last year, one that shares similarities to the Constance in terms of its boxy silhouette and curved corners, with an elongated strap that’s perfect for carrying over the shoulder or across the body. The defining factor of the 2002, however, has got to be the oval H hardware clasp that has now appeared on several other accessories like bracelets, hair slides (yes, a clip to keep your hair neat and tidy), as well as a compact wallet that comes in an array of colours in lush Evercolour calfskin.

Measuring 12 cm by 12 cm, the Hermès 2002 Wallet is fully lined in lambskin, and armed with 3 credit card slots tucked in the inner back pocket. The roomy compartment is perfect for all your folded notes and receipts, while the zipped change pocket in front is built to secure all your coins and keys. Models carried it like a chic accessory within the palm of their hands while walking down the Pre-Fall 2018 runway show, but what makes this wallet a true winner (and different from say, a Constance Compact Wallet, for example) is its ability to be worn with a belt.

Flip the 2002 Wallet to the back, and you will find that it’s equipped with a belt loop, so you can slide it through your favourite Hermès belt and wear it like a belt bag, giving it extra points in terms of versatility and function. Priced at SGD5900 each, you can choose from 4 different colour options, Abricot (orange), Béton (white), Black and Gold, all of which are available at Hermès boutiques across Singapore right now.
