The story

A slim envelope clutch with a cut-out leather 'H' as its closure, introduced in the 1970s.

It is minimal and elegant, designed to be carried under the arm or in the hand.

Resale sits at roughly a third of retail on recorded sales, a little higher in classic neutrals.

A clean, understated way into Hermès leather goods.

Our verdict: A sleek clutch with weak resale. Buy pre-owned, and stick to neutrals.
