Privé Porter’s Guide To: The Must-Have Hermès Bags from the Spring–Summer 2026 Runway
As the sun set over Paris, Hermès returned to La Garde Républicaine for its Spring–Summer 2026 ready-to-wear show — a collection defined by movement, light, and the Maison’s equestrian soul. Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski delivered a modern vision of craftsmanship: supple leathers, airy silhouettes, and handbags that prove Hermès continues to lead luxury design.
Below, Privé Porter breaks down the standout handbags collectors should watch as they make their way from runway to boutique shelves.
The So Kelly Returns
Originally created by Jean-Paul Gaultier in 2008, the So Kelly Hobo re-emerged on the runway with refined structure and vibrant new colors — violet, red, and classic black. Hermès updated the design with a seamless shoulder strap and the signature Kelly touret and sangle closure, blending relaxed ease with iconic heritage. Collectors who missed it the first time now have another chance to secure this cult favorite.

The Kelly Danse Revival
The ultra-versatile Kelly Danse made a surprise return in bright violet Swift leather, styled cinched at the waist and layered over neutral tailoring. Designed by Gaultier, this transformable bag shifts between shoulder, crossbody, clutch, or belt bag — a true collector’s piece that embodies the Hermès philosophy of function through artistry.

The Kelly Multi-Pochette to Go
Originally a men’s design, the Kelly Multi-Pochette to Go joined the women’s runway in Rouge H Box calfskin. Featuring three front pockets secured with Kelly buckles and a removable crossbody strap, it’s a bold fusion of practicality and luxury — a modern evolution of Hermès’s iconic hardware language.

The Birkin Veau Doblis
Suede stole the spotlight this season with the Birkin 30 in Veau Doblis. Presented in black and Kraft-toned beige, the velvety texture adds a tactile, relaxed contrast to the structured Birkin silhouette. For collectors, this is the moment to embrace Hermès suede — durable, luxurious, and refreshingly unexpected.

The Birkin à l’envers
Making its runway return, the Birkin à l’envers — literally “inside-out Birkin” — flips tradition with exposed seams and a softly inverted structure. Styled in rich chocolate brown, it offers a subtle rebellion against perfection: deconstructed craftsmanship for collectors who appreciate subtle subversion.

Beyond the Runway: What’s Next
Hermès’s Spring–Summer 2026 lineup extends beyond these runway debuts — with the Kelly Pochette Daisy Inlay, a metal-accented Mini Bolide, and a new Box Calfskin Clutch previewed at the Re-See. Each blends whimsy and heritage, signaling a season where equestrian codes meet luminous summer ease.
The Privé Porter Take
This collection is proof that Hermès’s magic lies in evolution, not reinvention. From suede Birkins to reimagined Kellys, every piece balances heritage with innovation — ensuring collectors have new icons to chase.
