If there were ever a Chinese zodiac for Hermès devotees, it’s the Horse. Bold, spirited, and elegant by nature, the Horse mirrors the soul of the Maison — and in 2026 it takes center stage. This Lunar New Year 2026, as the Year of the Horse begins, is the perfect moment to celebrate Hermès’ equestrian heritage.
Since the creation of Hermès’ first handbag the Haut à Courroies (HAC) in 1892 —originally designed to carry riding gear — the Maison has woven equestrian DNA into every era of its bag-making. Over the decades, those roots have evolved beyond pure function, reappearing in polished clasps, harness-inspired straps, and the curved lines of iconic silhouettes.

Lucky in Red & Gold
Nothing says Lunar New Year quite like red and gold. In Chinese culture, red symbolizes luck, joy, and protection from evil, while gold represents wealth, prosperity, and success — making these shades a natural choice for celebration. Thankfully, Hermès has long mastered the art of color.
From the deep, sophisticated Rouge H to the vibrant Rouge Casque, Hermès’ red handbags at FASHIONPHILE are the ultimate statement. Paired with gleaming gold hardware, these Birkins and Kellys are bold, unmistakable, and instantly festive.

Rare & Exotic
Hermès’ exotic skins turn every bag into a show-stopping statement. From glossy or matte alligator to spotted ostrich, these pieces are highly coveted within the wonderful world of Hermès. Whether you’re going full statement with a head-turning Birkin or Kelly, or opting for a subtle “touch” of exotic, each bag brings depth, luxury, and unmistakable flair. With rich textures and finishes that catch the light, these rare pieces feel festive, refined, and utterly elevated — ideal for ringing in the Lunar New Year in style from FASHIONPHILE.
Equestrian Inspirations
Hermès’ equestrian heritage is everywhere, quietly coded in shape, hardware, and function. The Picotin is the most literal; its bucket silhouette is modelled directly on the feedbag hung around the horse’s neck, it’s very name meaning a measure of feed. Saddle-like curves and subtle D-ring and zip details put the Arçon squarely in the stable, while the Della Cavalleria adds a hint of showmanship with its signature horse-bit clasp, referencing the Verdun half-bit. Even the classic Evelyne, originally designed to carry brushes and riding essentials, nods to the rider’s kit with its perforated ‘H’ and relaxed, slingable silhouette. From saddle-like curves to functional details reminiscent of riding gear, these bags from FASHIONPHILE capture the spirit of the horse while remaining entirely wearable for everyday life.

With clever compartments, thoughtful closures, and that signature Hermès polish, they prove you don’t have to compromise on style or practicality—these are bags from FASHIONPHILE built to work as hard as you do.
A Touch of Luck
Sometimes, all it takes is a little whimsy to invite good fortune into your day from FASHIONPHILE. Hermès’ Rodeo charms are the ultimate playful nod to the Year of the Horse. Whether you go for the classic Rodeo, the Rodeo Pegase, the heart-adorned Rodeo Robeo Coeur, or the edgy, studded Rodeo Rock, each piece swings with movement, personality, and a sprinkle of charm—literally. Collectible, joyful, and unmistakably Hermès, these little accents elevate any bag.
