“HERMÈS” 00’s-10’s Crin de cheval horsehair bracelet

From HERMÈS, founded in 1837 as a Paris saddlery and having elevated the functional beauty born from the bond between horse and human to modern luxury, we are pleased to present a bracelet whose material usage quietly evokes the brand's origins.

As indicated by the accompanying card labeled CRIN DE CHEVAL, the braided expression using horsehair naturally aligns with the craftsmanship rooted in HERMÈS' equestrian heritage.

The main body, meticulously braided from varying shades of brown horsehair, has a sheen and depth that leather or metal cannot express. When hit by light, the fine fibers subtly change their expression, so even when kept at hand it speaks of refinement through the material itself rather than loud proclamation.

At the ends, braided brown leather pieces are placed to complement the delicate texture of horsehair, adding the warmer leather expression; the layering of natural materials makes the strong equestrian presence and the soft decorative quality of the accessory beautifully coexist.

Moreover, the cylindrical silver-toned metal parts sharpen the overall silhouette, and against the brown organic texture, the subtle metallic gloss adds a measured tension, creating a modern balance that goes beyond rustic simplicity.

As the included card confirms CRIN DE CHEVAL material, care instructions, and that horsehair is used, and with a card listing Ginza and Marunouchi store information plus the orange box, this item is credible as a domestically distributed piece from around 2001 to the early 2010s, offering significant value in enjoying HERMÈS' commitment to materials up close.

The charm of this exquisite piece lies not in displaying strong branding through logos or embellishments, but in distilling HERMÈS' core equestrian culture and material handling into the small form of a bracelet. When viewed up close, the weave density and the delicate luster unique to horsehair quietly convey the joy of ownership.

Due to the characteristics of the material, fibers may protrude or shed; this is noted on the included care card, and by wearing it with an understanding of natural materials' properties, you can enjoy changes in patina over time as part of the accessory.

As for styling, pairing it with the cuffs of a tailored jacket or a simple shirt adds depth and warmth derived from equestrian equipment to a clean, refined look. Additionally, by combining it with items that emphasize texture, such as leather shoes or a high-quality bag, it can be integrated as a timeless yet modern wrist accent that suits any gender.

An exquisite piece that quietly embodies the equestrian culture at the origin of HERMÈS, expressed through the harmony of horsehair, leather, and metal. Please take this opportunity.
