While Marc Jacobs may have famously carried a Birkin straight onto the sand, Hermès has its own, more seasonally appropriate answer to beach dressing for when leather takes the season off. This isn’t about forcing icons into holiday mode, but about a line-up of canvas, pouches, and clever little objects that feel like they were always meant for sun, salt, and SPF.
Here are the latest Hermès beach-ready accessories we’re eyeing this summer.

Vue sur la Dune Beach Bag
For the days when leather bags are best kept far away from salt and surf, the “Vue sur la Dune” (View of the Dune) tote steps in as the ultimate beach companion. Featuring a coastal scene by illustrator Filipe Jardim, it offers a graphic view of the seaside. Screen-printed in France using 12 layers of ink for a rich, bold finish, this heavy cotton canvas tote features sturdy polyester handles and four practical pockets to accommodate SPF, sunglasses, and the inevitable sand that migrates into your bag by midday. Measuring 14.5 × 19.2 × 9.4 inches, it arrives in three colorways – Pavot / Outremer / Bubble Gum, Outremer / Bubble Gum / Jaune D’or, and Argile / Amande / Corail, all retailing for $2,600.

Bride-a-Brac Case
The Bride-a-Brac Case is as much a practical travel companion than it is as a standalone pouch for casual days. Made in cotton canvas with an embroidered ‘H’ motif, it comes in a range of designs and colorways. Available in two sizes – the small measures 8.3 x 3.9 x 4.7 inches, while the large comes in at 9.8 x 5.1 x 5.9 inches. Each features three interior pockets, an adjustable top handle, and a secure zip fastening. Primed to house vacay essentials, the Bride-a-Brac Case retails for $840 for the small and $900 for the large.
Miss Sandal
The coveted Hermès sandal of the season, the Miss Sandal puts the Maison’s iconic hardware front and centre. Elevating the simplest calfskin flip-flop, it features an additional leather strap secured with a miniature Kelly buckle detail. Sitting on a barely-there 0.2″ sole, the Miss Sandal moves effortlessly from beach to bar. Available in Noir, Gold, Rouge H, Blanc, and Gris Argenté, it retails for $1,375.
Mykonos Sandal
For a waterside-friendly option, there’s the Mykonos Sandal. Crafted from waterproof TPU, this slip-on style is finished with the iconic Chaîne d’Ancre detail for a subtle nod to the house. Available in Noir and vibrant Vert Tourmaline, the Mykonos Sandal retails for $465.

Giselle Swimsuit
Hermès swimwear spans the full spectrum of silhouettes, from classic triangle bikinis to one-pieces in bold house prints. The Giselle Swimsuit sits firmly in the latter camp: a streamlined jersey design in “Grand Manège” print, cut with a high leg and harness-inspired racerback that nods to the Maison’s equestrian codes. Offered in the color cominations – Rouge Amazone and Jaune Soleil, the Giselle Swimsuit retails for $780.

Succulent Sultan Beach Rackets
For those who find lounging too sedentary, Hermès has a solution. The Succulent Sultan Beach Rackets transform a childhood beach game into a surprisingly desirable accessory, complete with a colorful melting popsicle motif by Daiske Nomura. Not just to keep the kids entertained, these Beach Rackets are built for bragging rights. Hermès’ Succulent Sultan Beach Rackets retail for $1,275.

Maillon des Sables Beach Brush
Just when you thought Hermès had considered every possible beach accessory, along comes the Maillon des Sables Beach Brush. Crafted from sapelli and beechwood with horsehair bristles, it’s designed for one very specific purpose: sweeping sand from your feet before it inevitably ends up in your sandals, tote, hotel room, and somehow your suitcase weeks later. Finished with a Clou de Selle detail, it’s arguably the most luxurious solution to one of summer’s most universal annoyances – whether it’s essential is up for debate.
