A master at transforming utility into elegance, Hermès’ Charniere SLG line is a seamless extension of that. French for ‘hinge’, Charniere draws inspiration from the maison’s enamel bracelets and vintage travel trunks of the same name. Sleek and architectural, this hallmark clasp now anchors the Charniere Compact Wallet and Charniere To Go.

The Charniere Compact Wallet (SGD4000) is crafted from supple Madame calfskin and comes in timeless shades like Etoupe and Gold. The signature closure further elevates its structured silhouette, the elegant clasp showcasing meticulous goldsmith craftsmanship.
Measuring just 10.5 cm by 8 cm, this pocket-sized companion also delivers on practicality. Containing just two card slots and a zip compartment, the efficient layout is clearly designed for modern life. Essentially, it‘s all you need to stash a little cash and your credit cards without compromising on its slim profile.
Then there’s the Charniere To Go (SGD8600), which you’ll find as versatile as the other To Go SLGs from Hermès. Also in Madame calfskin in hues such as Blue and Gold, its elongated box-like construction features precise corner-stitching. But it is the iconic hinge closure that stands out on this small-but-mighty accessory.
At 20.2 cm by 11.5 cm, this elongated pouch features two compartments, three card slots and a flat pocket. Packing enough room for your phone, cards and even passport, you can either slip it into a larger bag or tuck it under your arm. Or simply attach the removable strap to use it as a mini shoulder bag.
