The Parisian luxury brand might be best known for women’s handbags, from the Kelly to the Birkin, but it creates exquisite leather and silk accessories for men too …

This season, the fashion maison has released the Attelage Messenger bag, Galop d’Hermès holdall and a new rendition of the Bolide 1923 Casaque bag, alongside shoes, gloves and phone cases

No other grand luxury house has mastered such a wide range of goods as Hermès. While the celebrated Parisian maison is perhaps best known for its agenda-setting women’s bags, from the Kelly to the Birkin, it has an equally rich history when it comes to creating exquisite leather and silk items and accessories – whether for women, or with the sophisticated gentleman in mind.

This year’s autumn/winter men’s accessories collection is a case in point, with everything from bags to hats to belts in a dizzying range of styles, providing options aplenty for men looking to treat themselves or significant others looking for thoughtful, personal gifts.

Among the bags in the collection, one of the undoubted stars of the show is the Haut à Courroies Rock, a rebellious, rousing take on the classic Haut à Courroies bag infused with the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll. Taking its inspiration from biker jackets, it comes entirely in black, with features such as outside pockets and a leather-wrapped padlock.

Elsewhere, the strap and clasp of the Haut à Courroies bag are in evidence on a phone case in tadelakt calfskin. Men with equestrian leanings will love the Attelage Messenger bag, which takes the shape of a horse’s belly guard, while those of a sporting inclination will gravitate to the Galop d’Hermès holdall, which comes in the shape of a duffel bag. There’s also a particularly dashing rendition of the Bolide 1923 Casaque bag, decorated with an “X” pattern that’s picked out in appliqué-piqué leatherwork.

The footwear choices in the collection include elevated versions of classic styles, such as three takes on calfskin ankle boots – one of them combined with parachute canvas for a more sporty look – as well as a pair of fetching nubuck derbies with chunky soles and a Kelly buckle. They’re complemented by high-top trainers and, for the indulgent, some delightfully fluffy shearling sandals.
