LOT ESSAY
Hermès Mini 24/24 is a bag introduced in 2018. The design is distinctive and the structure is somewhere between Birkin and Kelly. Hermès' new size, the 21 Mini, reduces the proportions of this bag to just 21 cm wide and 16 cm high, featuring an Evercolor body with Swift's rigid calfskin flap, making this bag a casual style that can be worn from day to night, hence the name 24/24.

The Mini 24/24 has a larger capacity, an interior zip pocket, an exterior compartment, and an extra top handle. It can be used as a handbag; with the length adjustment, it can be used as a clutch, shoulder bag, crossbody bag, waist bag and back bag, making it the most suitable for matching with the day's wear among all Hermès products.

Hermes

Hermès International S.A., or simply Hermès, is a French luxury goods manufacturer established in 1837. It specializes in leather goods, lifestyle accessories, home furnishings, perfumery, jewelry, watches, and ready-to-wear. Its logo, a Duc carriage with the horse, has been the insignia of the brand since the 1950s.

Founded by Thierry Hermès, the company started as a harness workshop servicing noblemen, creating high-quality wrought harnesses and bridles for the carriage trade. Hermès's son, Charles-Émile, took over management from his father in 1880 and moved the shop to 24 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, where it remains. The family-run business introduced saddlery and started selling their product retail catering to the elites of Europe, North Africa, Russia, Asia, and the Americas. In 1920, they added accessories and clothing collections to their growing product list.
