Taurillon Clemence Evelyne TPM Gold

The Hermès Evelyne 16 TPM in Gold Taurillon Clemence is a globally recognized crossbody bag that combines the house’s equestrian heritage with a compact, functional design. As the smallest model in the Evelyne collection, this “TPM” (Très Petit Modèle) is celebrated for its lightweight, “hands-free” silhouette, making it an ideal choice for carrying strictly the essentials.

Core Design & Material Construction

Material (Taurillon Clemence): Crafted from a heavy, drummed calfskin known for its semi-matte finish and generous, irregular grain. This leather is prized for its exceptionally soft, supple hand and its ability to become increasingly pliable over time.
Color (Gold): One of Hermès’ most iconic and recognizable shades, Gold (Color Code: 37) is a rich, warm medium tan with golden undertones. Like other classic Hermès neutrals, it features distinctive contrast white stitching that highlights the bag’s craftsmanship.
Hardware: This specific model is finished with Yellow Gold-plated hardware, providing a warm, high-luxury aesthetic that perfectly complements the golden-brown leather. The hardware includes the signature metal snap hooks for the strap and a snap-button closure at the top.
Interior: Consistent with the minimalist Evelyne design, the interior is unlined, showcasing the natural suede-like side of the Clemence leather.

Specifications & Utility

Dimensions: Approximately 16 cm L x 18 cm H x 5.5 cm D (roughly 6.75″ x 7″ x 2.2″).
