Hermès Verrou Bags for Spring/Summer 17
If you’re thinking that these Hermès Verrou bags remind you of those latches or locks on doors, then you’re probably right, because “Verrou” translates to “lock”. The Verrou collection is available in 2 sizes: the regular size comes with a leather shoulder strap, while the mini version comes with a chain-link shoulder strap in Mysore goatskin, hence called the Verrou Chaîne Mini.
If you haven’t already noticed, I am a huge fan of chunky hardware details, and the Verrou manages to achieve that, yet still remain elegant and somewhat minimalist, instead of biker or edgy. If you’re wondering which I prefer, it definitely has to be the Verrou Chaîne Mini because I think the chain shoulder strap goes much better with the bag than the leather strap. Also, I have to say, that I’m really loving the seasonal bags from Hermès SS17 collection because they make for a nice change compared to the Holy Grail classics that we’ve become so accustomed to seeing and come to associate as it being synonymous with the Maison. The Verrou is certainly a breath of fresh air! What say you?
