Hermès Petit H Wicker Minaudière Malachite Epsom Leather & Silk

hermès petit h wicker minaudière malachite epsom leather & silk

this hermès wicker minaudière is a unique creation from the petit h atelier. founded by pascale mussard, petit h operates on the philosophy of "creation in reverse," where artisans and designers dream up objects based on available archival materials rather than starting with a design. this specific piece is constructed from two shells of handwoven natural wicker (osier), a material typically reserved for the coveted "picnic" line.

the organic texture of the wicker is framed by malachite epsom leather, a deep, saturated green that serves as the hinge and wristlet strap. inside, the clutch features a silk insert—likely repurposed from the ho 's scarf production—to protect the contents. beca petit h creations are dictated by the materials at hand, this exact combination of wicker weave, malachite leather, and specific silk pattern is effectively a one-of-a-kind object, distinct from the standardized main-line production.
