Seconds – The Evelyne TPM

Last year I shared how I purchased my first Evelyne TPM, in black with gold hardware. In the months that followed, I realized that I loved this bag so much, was wearing it so much nonstop, that I knew I’d like another.

I actually picked up this little red one last year but didn’t really use it until recently – I was saving it for when the weather warmed up (even though I think red’s really a year round color). I think I felt a little guilty for getting a second so quickly and so I left it in its box so that the black could get its air time – does this make sense to anyone else? Anyone?

The color was really hard for me to capture on camera – it is Rouge Casaque, which is a bright true red. Clemence with silver hardware. In person it’s a more saturated red than in the photos. I wanted this color for SO LONG and finally it popped up on the Hermes website, along with like 8 other Evelyne TPMs in all sorts of colors. I was trying to pick up another one for a friend and the colors were literally disappearing from my cart as I was checking out! They go fast.

I wear a lot of neutral colors, including all black, and so I love how even just the red strap adds some color and dimension to the outfit. The outfit is Elizabeth Suzann in silk crepe (Georgia top, Florence pants) and the shoes are older Manolo Blahnik but I actually just saw a version for $80 from Sole Society.

And then another view of how I usually wear it, the bag pushed into the back. Yes I usually wear it with the H against my body but I don’t care how you wear it and if you like it with the H out do so with pride! I already said it in my last review, but I really LOVE the Evelyne TPM – it’s honestly one of the best light little bags that is a TRUE workhorse and I would recommend it for almost every closet. Evelyne TPM I love you! One bag that I have no regret buying seconds of.
