Heart Evangelista ‘hearts’ Hermès: 5 of her most chic handbags by the luxury brand, from her Mini Kelly II and Jean Paul Gaultier’s Shadow Birkin to her hand-painted Kelly Sellier 25
Heart Evangelista clearly “hearts” Hermès!
While the 37-year-old is always sure to be toting the latest (or even yet-to-be-released) and most hard-to-acquire bags from the world’s biggest designer brands – Dior, Louis Vuitton and Gucci, to name a few – the style star always gravitates back to her favoured Hermès. The French heritage brand is hailed for its luxury goods that are often regarded as functional pieces of history and art.
1. Hermès Mini Kelly II in Craie, chosen for her by Michael Coste
As much as Evangelista loves her Hermès, she appears to be cherished by the brand, too. Evangelista seemingly shares a close relationship with Hermès executive Michael Coste, which dates as far back as 2016 when the two first met, per Philippine entertainment site Pep.
Last year, Coste even personally hand-picked a bag specifically for the fashionista – and one to match her outfit, per the same source. Evangelista was wearing a different bag when she paid a visit to Coste at the boutique in Paris, but left the store with a new one in tow, as seen on Coste’s Instagram and then on Evangelista’s vlog.
2. The super-rare Hermès Neige Snow Faubourg Birkin
Evangelista’s precious arm candy can be worth up to US$375,000 on 1stdibs.

4. The unique Hermès Shadow Birkin
Consider it a must-buy for true Hermès lovers. Evangelista, of course, has one, and it comes in white and in her preferred size 25, per Philippine fashion website Preview.
5. The limited-edition Hermès Cargo Birkin that’s super functional
The Cargo Birkin, released in 2020, is another limited-edition bag from the brand – and a style that Evangelista has in her collection. Hers, per Preview, is a Cargo 25 in Nata Toile Goeland, and retails for about US$58,000 on 1stdibs.
