Hermès lovers, we don’t know about you, but this year has flown by! There is more to Hermès than just the iconic Birkin and Kelly. The French fashion house offers a wide variety of bag options – whether you have a limited budget, already have your quotas fulfilled, or simply want to try something new and expand your horizons.

Either way, we cover the top alternative styles to those iconic pieces to add to your collection. Here are seven Hermès bags under $7,000.
Hermès Evelyne TPM
When it comes to a laid-back, everyday style, you can’t get much better than the Hermès Evelyne. Designed to carry equestrian equipment, the bag features an understated perforated ‘H’ motif design, originally intended for airing and drying grooming equipment. This iconic H design was traditionally worn against the body, but most luxe lovers tend to wear the perforated H facing outward – the choice is yours! You’ll find this relaxed offering crafted from supple Clemence or Maurice leather – great for everyday use. This widely coveted bag is a fabulous option for those looking to join the exclusive H club.

The Evelyne continues to be one of the most popular offerings at Hermès, due to its more ‘entry level’ position, at least from a pricing standpoint, within the Hermès bag offerings. Unlike the Birkin and Kelly, the Evelyne is a relaxed piece – and can be worn casually with its crossbody shoulder strap. This chic bag is a fantastic option to grab and go.
| Bag Size | Dimensions in Inches (L X H X D) |
| Hermès Evelyne 16 (Mini TPM) | 7 X 7.7 X 2 |
| Hermès Evelyne 29 (Medium/PM) | 11.25 X 12 X 2.5 |
| Hermès Evelyne 33 (Large/GM) | 12 X 13 X 2 |
| Hermès Evelyne 40 (Extra Large/TGM) | 16 X 16.5 X 4 |
You have the choice of four sizes – petite (often referred to as the TPM), small/medium, large, and extra large. Prices start at $2,050 for the TPM – and the Evelyne can occasionally be found on the online boutique. However, it’s no surprise these are snapped up fast!
Hermès Picotin Lock
Sometimes all you need is a simplistic bucket bag – carefree and easy! Hermès has the answer, in the form of the perfectly formed Picotin. Long a favorite with Hermès and luxe lovers, this equestrian-inspired tote is easy to wear and ideal for any summer closet. The handheld design of the Picotin resembles a horse’s feedbag and is completed with H’s signature padlock.

Available in a vast range of sizes, colors, and leather – you’ll be sure to find a Picotin that catches your eye. You can find the Picotin in a variety of fabrications, including canvas – better known as the Picotin Cargo. For those seeking to add a print to their handbag collection – the Picotin ‘Lucky Daisy’ bag could be the one for you, however, this bag comes with a hefty price tag!
| Bag Size | Dimensions in Inches (L X H X D) |
| Hermès Picotin Lock 14 (Micro) | 4.9 X 4.9 X 4.1 |
| Hermès Picotin Lock 18 (PM) | 7 X 7.4 X 5.3 |
| Hermès Picotin Lock 22 (MM) | 8.2 X 8.6 X 6.6 |
| Hermès Picotin Lock 26 (MM) | 10.5 X 10.5 X 8.5 |
When it comes to size – the Picotin bags are available in four different sizes – PM, MM, GM, and TGM. It’s easy to see how some collectors end up with a closet full of these beautiful bucket bags. Prices start at $3,325 for the micro size.
Hermès In-The-Loop
Fresh and fun, one of the newer designs from the Hermès, the In-The-Loop bag is a great everyday companion. Showcasing the Hermès ‘Chaine d’Ancre’ motif on the handles and the base of the bag, there’s plenty of subtle H charm here. This understated catch-all is a great grab-and-go option and a great alternative to the highly popular Picotin due to its similar bucket-style shape.

| Bag Size | Dimensions in Inches (L X H X D) |

Available in a range of vibrant colors, as well as classic neutrals that we all know and love from Hermès – you’ll find an In The Loop bag that’ll slot into your closet. The bag comes in two sizes and is a great alternative to the Picotin. Prices start at $4,500.
Hermès Mini Bolide
Cute and compact mini bags remain a favorite in the fashion world, and Hermès is on top of this trend. Hello mini Kelly, just as one example. But, there are other options. The Mini Bolide, measuring approximately 7″ wide and 6″ tall, is one of the brand’s oldest and most cherished bag styles. Its understated design is both timeless and elegant. Complete with double handles, and a secure zip fastening – the Bolide is great for those seeking a city-safe bag. Thanks to its shoulder strap, the Mini Bolide can be carried as a top handle or worn cross-body, adding versatility to its charm. Prices for this miniature size start at $5,800.

| Bag Size | Dimensions in Inches (L X H X D) |
| Hermès Mini Bolide | 7 X 6 X 3 |
Occasionally, you may come across the Mini Bolide on the Hermès online boutique. However, much like any other Hermès bag, these coveted pieces tend to sell out swiftly. So, if you’re fortunate enough to spot one, it’s best to act quickly and secure this miniature treasure before it disappears.
Hermès Geta, Chèvre
If you’re searching for a unique and minimal Hermès bag that exudes quiet luxury, look no further than the recently-released Geta. This sleek and paired-back design takes its inspiration from traditional Japanese wooden sandals of the same name. Crafted from luxurious Chèvre leather, known for its durability and supple texture, the Geta bag exudes a sense of timeless elegance.

| Bag Size | Dimensions in Inches (L X H X D) |

The Geta’s structured silhouette, reminiscent of the wooden sandals it draws inspiration from, is complemented by the distinctive clasp. Complete with an adjustable shoulder strap, the Geta is both practical and functional – its spacious interior provides ample room for your daily essentials. Priced at $5,950, the Geta bag offers an opportunity to own a timeless and understated Hermès bag without breaking the bank.
Kelly Pochette, Swift
Still, yearning for the elusive Mini Kelly? Allow us to introduce you to a stunning alternative: the Kelly Pochette.
