Last week, Hermès held its Fall/Winter 2024 Objects presentation, showcasing new bags and accessories beyond the brand’s runway offering. Хустка шовк оригінал вінтаж hermes.
One of those new shapes, dubbed the Faubourg Express, is the Hermès take on the increasingly popular Hermes black leather bracelet and metal chain, and IMHO, it’s one of the best we’ve seen. The shape itself screams chic on its own, but with the Hermès touch, the Faubourg Express knocks it out of the park.
Introducing the Faubourg Express
With a sleek silhouette that focuses on length, the bag is simple overall, meant to showcase the House’s unparalleled leather craftsmanship, with unique stylistic details that speak to Hermès history.
Crafted from Evergrain calfskin, the shape features metal feet and a unique side clasp mechanism inspired by the Plume bag and the Quirus briefcase from the 1970s.
Launching later this year, the Faubourg Express also comes in a mini size, which functions best as a top handle, while the larger size is the perfect little shoulder bag. If you’re looking for a stylish bag with an attention to quality and craft that is unmatched, the Faubourg is it.

Yes it’s well made. Yes, the leather is good quality. But if this bag didn’t say Hermès on it, no one would pay more than $200 for it. Hermès has become a true cult and its patrons are totally oblivious to the giant scam they are going through.
I love a zip topped, double handle bag, but sadly not this one. I love the Plume and the Victoria, so maybe this one is just not a shape that I respond to. That said, it’s nice to see some new H bags…so bored with the usual bunch.
I love this east west style!
