"HERMES" 90’s-00’s classic box calf gloves holder

Starting from a harness workshop, HERMÈS has simultaneously refined the strength as a tool and the elegance of wearing, and here we introduce a masterpiece that quietly speaks of functional beauty.

The glass-like gloss unique to box calf leather and the finely textured surface that feels snug in the hand give this exquisite item a presence that matures into sophistication with use.

While centered on its function as a glove holder, this piece's structural beauty also makes it suitable as a modern bag charm, with the three-dimensional leather holder parts elegantly holding gloves or scarves in place.

The clasp features a snap button with a serial design, ensuring smooth and secure opening and closing, and the engraved "HERMÈS SELLIER" around the circumference, along with the slightly raised central shape, subtly but decisively reflects the brand's roots.

Furthermore, the chain's classic design with oval links creates shadows and highlights with each sway, and the lobster clasp at the end ensures a secure connection to bag fittings or D-rings, making it highly finished as an accessory.

The metal fittings feature a deep, reddish shine characteristic of brass plated with 24-karat gold, and the beauty derived from horse tack, which is polished with durability in mind, directly contributes to trustworthiness during long-term use, rather than just being decorative sparkle.

The era can be judged to be around 1997 to 2003, as evidenced by the three-line inscription of HERMÈS PARIS MADE IN FRANCE in serif gold foil on the leather interior, which differs from the current laser-engraved marks, and the deep press impression caused by heat embossing. Additionally, the thick font of the serial button and the three-dimensional layer of gold plating support the idea that this is an archive piece from before the transition to a flatter, more modern design.

A noteworthy added value is that the firmness and uniform gloss of box calf leather are still maintained, indicating the high quality of the raw hide and the density of tailoring at the time, and it can be considered a small item that, while functional, also carries asset value, which is a characteristic strength of HERMÈS.

In terms of styling, pairing with well-tailored coats or tailored jackets to create a neat look naturally blends the elegance derived from horse tack, and by adding it to minimalist outfits centered around shirts or high-quality knits, it can add a touch of class like jewelry. Furthermore, when added to styles layered with textured items like leather accessories or silk scarves, the meaning as a tool remains alive, landing in a refined mood regardless of gender.

Definitely take this opportunity.
