“HERMES“ 90’s Stirrup motif double tour bracelet

Built on a solid background as an equestrian workshop, Hermès has elevated the functional beauty of tools into decoration, and here we present a refined piece that captures the essence of horsemanship.

This exquisite piece features a stirrup motif that subtly reinterprets the world of equestrian gear as a wrist ornament. The overlapping lines created by the flexible double-wrapped black leather evoke a sense of depth not found in typical bracelets. Paired with gold-colored fittings that shine like a mirror, it achieves a balance of Hermès’s signature neatness and gentle elegance.

Particularly striking is the open-work motif reminiscent of a stirrup, centrally placed. While inspired by equestrian gear, it avoids excessive decoration, instead creating presence through the beauty of its outline and the use of negative space. This allows you to enjoy both the elegance of jewelry and the practicality unique to leather bracelets naturally. The smooth connection of parts linked by round rings also prevents the metal from feeling too rigid, creating a light, lively expression that moves with your wrist, which is very appealing.

Furthermore, the leather parts are composed of sleek, narrow strips, and despite being double-wrapped, they do not appear heavy. Instead, they seem to add a subtle tension to your hands, reflecting Hermès’s long-standing appreciation for the beauty of tools, seamlessly connecting with modern fashion. The classic combination of black leather and gold fittings is also excellent, understated yet possessing a certain dignity, making it easy to incorporate regardless of the season.

Regarding the era, the square frame with the A mark on the leather’s back and the "MADE IN FRANCE" inscription are important physical clues that support considering this piece as made in 1997. Since this aligns with the specifications before the transition to the later plain letter engravings without frames, this dating has a certain degree of reliability. Additionally, this period overlaps with when Martin Margiela began working with Hermès’s women’s ready-to-wear, and the sense of highlighting beauty through structure and repetition, rather than overt assertion, quietly resonates with the concept of double tour designs.

That’s why this piece is not just about wearing a brand icon, but about experiencing both Hermès’s heritage of equestrian culture and a more modern interpretation born in the late 1990s, simultaneously. Without adding large decorations to your outfit, there is a subtle beauty that catches the eye in your movements. I believe it will resonate well with those who want to wear quality as an extension of their daily life or who want to add a meaningful accent to simple clothing.

In terms of styling, pairing high-quality shirts or light knits with tailored trousers creates a neat and elegant look, subtly adding a sense of tension to your hands. Even when combined with relaxed jackets or minimalist dresses that eliminate unnecessary details, the curves of the metal fittings and the quietness of the leather stand out, naturally elevating the sophistication characteristic of Hermès. It is an easy piece to incorporate regardless of gender, especially suitable for those who wish to showcase the beauty of form rather than flamboyance. Don’t miss this opportunity.
