Hermès Kelly Wallet Flag Rouge Casaque/Rouge H Epsom PHW

Hermès Material

The successor to Courchevel leather, Epsom is an embossed calfskin with a fine grain and subtle sheen. It absorbs colour well and the rigid nature of the leather means it is often used for Sellier style bags.

Hermès Colour

Rouge H is one of the house’s most iconic and historic colours, dating back to the early 20th century and has been used in everything from bags and small leather goods to car interiors and furniture. It is a deep, sophisticated shade of red with brown and burgundy undertones. Often described as a “brick red” or “blood red,” Rouge H (short for Rouge Hermès) is timeless and surprisingly versatile.

Rouge Casaque is a bold, vivid true red that captures the essence of modern confidence and timeless glamour. Named after the red riding jackets ("casaques") traditionally worn in equestrian sports, this colour channels both heritage and bold contemporary style, making it one of Hermès’ most vibrant and striking reds. It is a pure red with neutral to slightly blue undertones (not orange-based); the kind of red that makes a statement without overpowering. It’s bold yet refined - perfect for those who want a pop of colour that remains sophisticated. Unlike warmer reds such as Rouge Pivoine or Rouge de Coeur, Rouge Casaque has a clean, classic tone that flatters both cool and warm wardrobes.

Hardware

Hermès Palladium hardware is made of solid brass, giving weight and durability, and then plated in precious metal. Palladium belongs to the platinum group of metals and has a brighter and whiter look than silver. More precious than gold, palladium is hard wearing and scratch-resistant.
