Story

The Evelyne was stable equipment before it was a handbag — designed in 1978 to carry grooming tools, with the perforated H meant to face the body and ventilate. Turned outward, that H became the logo. The III generation's adjustable canvas strap made it the house's definitive crossbody, and in slouchy Clemence it softens with every year of wear.

Authentication checklist

1. Perforated H: the holes are clean-cut, evenly spaced, and punched all the way through — ragged or shallow holes are wrong
2. Blind stamp sits on the leather tab at the back strap attachment — check it agrees with the claimed year

Care notes

Grained leather is the workhorse finish: wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, let it dry away from heat, and condition sparingly — over-conditioning darkens grained calfskin. Store the bag stuffed with acid-free paper, upright in its dust bag (not its box — leather needs airflow), away from direct sun and heat. Rest chains and hardware against a soft cloth so metal never presses into light leather for a season. Carry it in rotation rather than entombing it: leather that is aired, carried occasionally, and re-stuffed ages far better than leather stored untouched for years.
