Hermès Doré & Gris Argenté Metallic Minis: The New Gold & Silver Standard

When it comes to Hermès mini bags, few things excite collectors more than the release of new metallic leathers. This season, Hermès has introduced two stunning shades that are already dominating wish lists worldwide: Doré (a radiant gold) and Gris Argenté (a luminous silver). Both are available in mini formats like the Kelly 20 Sellier and are set to become instant icons.

Doré: Gold Reimagined

The name Doré translates to “golden,” and that’s exactly what this finish delivers. Unlike Hermès’ classic Jaune or warm gold tones, Doré has a metallic champagne quality—shimmering without being brash. But our favorite thing about this piece is that it has the rarely seen Permabrass hardware.

Finish: Metallic goatskin with a soft golden luster.
Vibe: Bold yet wearable, perfect for evenings or special occasions.
Collector Appeal: Metallic Hermès pieces are produced in extremely limited quantities, ensuring Doré becomes a future grail.

Gris Argenté: The Silver Star

“All that glitters is not gold”—and Hermès proves it with Gris Argenté, the cooler cousin to Doré. Translating directly to “silver gray,” this hue is a gleaming metallic silver that feels modern, futuristic, and incredibly chic. It’s subtle enough to wear in daylight, yet dramatic under evening lights.

Finish: Metallic goatskin in a sleek silver tone.
Vibe: Fresh, versatile, and contemporary.
Collector Appeal: Silver is far rarer in Hermès’ archives, making Gris Argenté especially coveted among serious collectors.

Why Metallic Minis Matter

Hermès has a long tradition of releasing special metallic bags—think Bronze Doré or the legendary So Black line. But in the mini Kelly and Birkin 20cm sizes, these metallics take on new life. They’re not just handbags; they’re statement pieces that double as jewelry and investments.

At Privé Porter, we’ve already seen explosive interest in both Doré and Gris Argenté minis. Their scarcity, coupled with their striking finishes, ensures they will only grow in value.

Styling Doré & Gris Argenté

Doré: Best paired with warm neutrals, black eveningwear, or crisp white for a true “golden hour” glow.
Gris Argenté: Complements cool tones, silks, and monochrome outfits—like wearing moonlight on your arm.

Why Buy With Privé Porter

Hermès boutiques reserve these metallic minis for a tiny circle of top clients, leaving most collectors out of reach. Privé Porter specializes in securing these rare pieces for clients worldwide, ensuring authenticity, discretion, and access that boutiques cannot provide.
