Super RARE Hermes Evelyne TPM GEN III - It's a MINI!

I am SO IN LOVE with the super RARE Hermes Evelyne TPM Generation III Mini bag in Blue Atoll Epsom leather with a Blue Zanzibar Toile strap accented with the Palladium hardware. I have been wanting to get an Evelyne bag for a while as I love messenger bags. I have been tending to go towards the Birkin’s and Kelly’s as I LOVE those designs, however last year when I was in Paris at Hermes I saw this bag and it has been on my mind since.

This gorgeous handmade TPM bag is the smallest Evelyne style bag Hermes produces. This style does come in four sizes including the TPM (smallest), PM, GM and the TGM (which I have read is discontinued). I was hesitant on which size to get as the large GM is too large for me and I was seeing the PM everywhere on everyone so when this rare little TPM Mini Gen III came upon me, I acted fast!

The Blue Zanzibar toile strap is 23” long and this cutie bag is only 16cm (7 inches) across and 16.5cm (7.5 inches) tall. This length of the bag fits perfectly on me. This Mini Evelyne can fit my iPhone Plus, my wallet, lip balm and my keys without even making a dent. It is very compact however it can fit a lot inside which surprised me.

I added my own flare to this Hermes bag with my matching Blue Zanzibar Rodeo charm aka “So Blue Rodeo” plus I styled this bag with the Hermes Twilly’s as a silk handle. I thought it was such a great idea to add Twilly’s on my mini Evelyne so now I can carry this new mini bag two different ways. It was very simple to tie the Twilly’s to make the handle and I love the conversion it makes for such a cute little bag.

I would recommend this mini Evelyne bag III for sure however expect the wait. This bag has been on my wish list for over a year and even with all of my traveling, this little guy was hard to snatch up. I love this addition to my collection and the versatility it will continue to add especially for when I travel.
