The story behind

Della Cavalleria is a 17th century horse riding manual preserved at the Émile Hermès Museum, which has previously given its name to a silk scarf, and now refers to a truly innovative women's bag. Embracing the silhouette of a half bit, its jewel clasp closes the flap and shapes the curves of the bag, evoking the contour of Hermès saddles. The metal hasp on the bottom attaches the clasp to the minimalist mechanism for easy and subtle opening and closing. Thanks to an adjustable strap, the mini version of the bag can be worn on the shoulder or across the body.
