One of the things that Hermès has been known for is combining its rich heritage with constant innovation, and the 2025-2026 collection is a perfect example of this. Hermès is releasing a series of bags that pay tribute to the quality the brand has been known for, but they are chic and trendy at the same time.
This collection continues to redefine bags like Kelly and Birkin while creating unexpected designs that reflect the future of luxury style. For collectors and enthusiasts in the high-end resale sector, the primary concern is the verification of the authenticity of the products. That is why Hermès authentication experts are always there to assist you in this matter. Let’s have a look at the most remarkable Hermès bags in 2025-2026 and see how the collection is inviting you to pick out the one that best suits you.
Mini Kelly Pampilles
Hermès redevelops its signature Kelly in a tiny version with the Mini Kelly Pampilles. "Pampilles" refers to tassels or fringe in French, and this little bag is true to its name. The Mini Kelly Pampilles depicts a vintage Kelly outline decorated with leather tassels that bring to the fore the charm and playfulness of the youthful energy and texture.
Although it is a small-sized bag, it is versatile enough to be an attention-grabbing piece that can be used from daytime chic to evening fun. By combining the adored silhouette with fringe detail on-trend, Hermès enraptures younger fashion lovers and fans who want a fresh yet recognizable statement piece.
Birkin à l’envers
Leave it to Hermès to turn its most famous bag inside out — literally. The Birkin à l’envers (French for “Birkin upside-down”) is an inventive twist on the classic Birkin that plays with structure and casual luxury. This design inverts the traditional Birkin: the signature flap and straps (sangles) are placed on the exterior, along with a handy front pocket reminiscent of Hermès’ previous utilitarian touches.
By experimenting with the Birkin’s form, Hermès offers a casually sophisticated take on its most iconic bag, proving that even legends can evolve.
Sac Cliquetis
The Sac Cliquetis is a stylish flap bag from Hermès that combines smooth and gently rounded curves with jewelry-like metal accents. With its neat, soft-shaped lines and a flap closure, the design of the bag exudes a quiet elegance. The feature that draws the most attention is the metal fitting: the curved bracket parts resembling the house’s Chaîne d’ancre (anchor chain). The anchor chain Hermès signature trendy jewelry line is where the bag’s chic and heritage elements come from, further adding to the already rich history of the brand.
Derby-Inspired Bag
It is no news that Hermès often looks in its archives for ideas, and the Derby-inspired bag is one of those cases, as it is a nod to a 1920s travel bag. More precisely, this newly made Hermès works with the 1926 Hermès Derby bag and the Plume travel bag as its main sources of inspiration.
The rounded, tapered top and long body of the bag resemble doctor bags of bygone days, while the characteristic gussets in the shape of horse hooves give a subtle hint to the brand's equestrian past. The diamond-shaped leather reinforcements and the deliberately shaped pull tabs complete the picture of Hermès' aesthetics in a subtle way.
Two sizes have been created for the Derby-inspired bag that can adapt to the user's needs: the smaller size has an adjustable strap for crossbody wear, and the larger size can work as a tote. Moreover, it comes in timeless colors such as gold, black, white, and Barénia leather. It is a good representative of Hermès' harmonious marriage of fashion and practicality that has been the hallmark of the brand throughout its history.
Minaudière Sanglons
One can easily draw a parallel between the fashionably simple Minaudière Sanglons and a small genuine white leather handbag with a gold clasp. Minaudière Sanglons is the name of the evening bag that Hermès introduces to us, a sophisticated little bag that can sometimes, with its elegance, say more than a whole wardrobe of rich garments.
The bag is made of smooth leather with the characteristic clean lines of the brand and no extra details. Despite its petite size (designed to be held in hand), the Minaudière Sanglons makes a big impression as a chic evening option. The combination of a minimalist form with a signature, upsized piece of hardware creates a clutch that’s equal parts elegant and eye-catching — perfect for the Hermès lover who wants to travel light without sacrificing style.
Cabas Tressage & Panier Tressage
Artisanal weaving and vibrant tassels reminiscent of Hermès’ Tressage bags are infusing summer’s whitewashed wardrobes with texture and color. With its woven bag duo, the Cabas Tressage and Panier Tressage, Hermès leads the way to the sun with artisanal texture on everybody’s lips. Tapping into traditional basket-weaving techniques, these bags are made with brand loyalty and consumers’ delight and are two of the most talked-about pieces for spring and summer.
Cabas Tressage is a spacious, open-top tote, equipped with long shoulder straps for convenient carrying, whereas Panier Tressage is a more compact bucket-style bag with a single top handle. Both are made of a complex weaving of such materials as Barénia leather and real horsehair, referring to Hermès’ equestrian roots. The process of weaving, which is inspired by straw baskets and objects from the historic Émile Hermès collection, creates a unique patterned texture that is quite arresting both to the eye and to touch. The design, while it reminds one of classic picnic baskets and market totes, is still very much at a luxury level.
The Cabas and Panier Tressage are perfect for those who want a bit of French Riviera flair and artisanal authenticity in their summer wardrobe.
Cabas Corricolo
The Cabas Corricolo takes a utilitarian tote and transforms it into a head-turning luxury statement. This oversized shoulder bag features a minimalist, practical shape but is anything but ordinary in its materials. The Corricolo is adorned with layers of genuine horsehair fringe, creating a flowing surface that moves gracefully with every step. The effect is reminiscent of a horse’s mane in motion, fitting since “Corricolo” brings to mind carriages and equestrian imagery. Hermès even drew inspiration from 1920s flapper fashion in this design, as the tiered fringe recalls the swingy fringe of Jazz Age dresses.
Despite its artful embellishment, the Cabas Corricolo remains a highly functional tote: generously sized for daily carry and comfortable on the shoulder. Hermès shows that a bag built for utility can also be exuberant and fashion-forward.
Arçon Slim
Hermès is once again able to maintain its tradition and, at the same time, go beyond with the Arçon Slim. The Arçon bag, which refers to the part of the saddle, is a design that Hermès came up with a few years ago, a crescent-shaped, horse-riding-inspired type. In the 2025 collection, it comes back with a new, smaller version designed for the contemporary style of living.
The Arçon Slim is of a smaller size and lighter in weight, but is still designed for the same purpose of the original, i.e., practicality, and it keeps its unique look. It has the curved shape and functional hardware that are typical of the original, but here we see a longer, adjustable strap that is designed for an easy crossbody. This makes the Arçon Slim perfect for daily walks, city errands, or travel, which is compatible with today's requirement of hands-free usage.
