Hermès, the renowned luxury accessories maker, has taken its iconic bag designs a step further by transforming them into something even more extravagant: Haute Bijouterie. Designed by Creative Director Pierre Hardy, this new collection features miniature jewelry versions of four of Hermès’ most iconic handbags.
“The challenge was to make them magical and feminine, yet still respect each bag’s original design. It’s like making a perfume—there’s the eau de toilette and there’s the essence. I had to capture the essence and make each even more iconic than it already is. The most challenging one was probably the Kelly, because it’s the most well-known,” said Hardy.
Will the Haute Bijouterie collection be a success? Only time—and collectors—will tell.
