Hermès 24 24 21cm Etoupe Evercolor/Swift GHW

Hermès Material

Featuring a finer, more uniform grain than Evergrain, Evercolor is also a little more robust and holds its shape well. It absorbs and retains colour well and has a semi matte finish.

Known as Gulliver until it was discontinued in 1999, this leather was reintroduced in 2005 as Swift. It has a fine grain which is soft to the touch and the ability to absorb dyes and reflect the light make it very popular. The drawback to Swift is that it is easily scratched so needs careful handling.

Hermès Colour

Etoupe is one of Hermès’ most iconic and versatile neutral colours - a soft, taupe-grey with cool and earthy undertones. Subtle and sophisticated Etoupe strikes a perfect balance between grey and brown, making it one of their most enduring and wearable shades. It might be one of the cleverest colours known to the world of luxury accessories. In bright sunlight in can appear clear and uplifting: on dark stormy days it adopts a more sombre appearance. It’s considered a classic Hermes colour, produced every season of every year, and like gold (the Hermes tan) is always made with contrast white stitching.

Hardware

Hermès Gold hardware is made of solid brass, giving weight and durability, plated in either 18 carat gold, or for some Special Order bags, 24 carat gold and then hand polished. Choose gold hardware for a warm, luxurious finish to your bag.
