Every bag that French luxury house Hermès creates always comes with its own compelling origin story. Today, the spotlight shines on the now-classic Della Cavalleria. This chic piece gets its name from a 17th-century horse-riding manual that’s a prized possession of the Émile Hermès Museum.
The most outstanding feature on the bag is clearly the oversized clasp sitting beautifully in front. Inspired by the equestrian world, but of course, the shiny accessory is shaped like the ergonomic Verdun half-bit. Moulded to form that unique curve, it further draws the eye to the bag’s saddle-like contours.
Not only is it visually interesting, but the inner workings of the Della Cavalleria are equally remarkable as well. Measuring 18 cm by 16 cm, the mini size features a main compartment that will hold all your essentials. There are also several slots and a geometric slip pocket that’s perfect for cards and notes.
Another slip pocket on the back covers your quick-access needs. All in all, this equestrian-inspired darling is a handy companion that you can wear casually across the body with ease. It comes in various colours from the classic hues to seasonal offerings, all of which pair with gold or palladium-plated hardware.
