When it comes to Hermès, we can admit that we’re a little biased. If you head over to our new Designers page (part of the website reorganization!) and click on Hermès, you’ll see that most of the H articles on our site focus on the bags of the “Holy Grail Bag” trifecta: the Birkin, the Kelly, and the Constance. While these bags are exclusive, stunning, and the epitome of luxury, Hermès boutiques are also home to a full array of beautiful bags that are less expensive and don’t require a waiting game. Some of these bags are under $5,000! If you have not yet been offered a B, K, or C, or if you simply want to change things up and look at other Hermès options, this list of 5 H bags under $5,000 is for you.
1. The Hermès Evelyne
The Evelyne is a huge Hermès hit. In fact, we already have a comprehensive guide on the bag since we know there are so many Evelyne lovers out there. With a versatile strap and sporty, fun vibe, the Evelyne is perfect for traveling and on-the-go lifestyles.

5. The Hermès Double Sens
On the hunt for that perfect Hermès tote? Look no further than the Double Sens. Like any good tote, it’s classic and versatile, and it’s certainly unique in that it always has color contrast between the inside and outside. But the best part is that it’s reversible! And what’s not to love about two bags in one?

I have two of the Halzan 22cms. One in black and the other in a soft pink (blanking on the exact name). It’s a go too bag for me. It fits a surprising amount, the pockets help me organize, and it’s so versatile.
Did we forget about the cute Picotin ?
