HERMES LYDIE BAGS

Do you know the Lydie? It's one of our favorite Hermès designs and we just received two Lydie bags from the 70s. Why do we love it? First, the envelope shape is so classic. Second, the "H" closure is subtle considering how famous the H is. Third, it's a "two-fer" in the sense that you can carry the bag as a clutch or as a shoulder bag. Four, we never see these bags in production anymore, so it's an antidote to the more ubiquitous Hermes designs (which we still adore), but sometimes you want something a little more unique.

The two options below are in brown lizard and black box calf. Lovingly restored by Hermes in Beverly Hills, they are fine examples of a classic and chic designs from a House that knows what luxury is all about.
