I never liked Evie's because of the big perforated H but seeing you wear yours this way (that some say is the 'correct' way) convinces me that I need one in my life at some point-in an indigo like yours or dark grey to wear as an every day bag.
Out of interest what size is yours? I'm 5'3" and size US 6 and I think yours looks the size I'd like though I suspect you're a US 2 or 4?
Chiming in here as I came across your post on being 5’3” and felt compelled to help before a potential purchase.

Before buying the Evelyne III PM, please consider that the adjustable strap - Even at the shortest setting - will likely be too long even when worn crossbody. I’m nearly 5’2” and I’d have to cut the strap off a minimum 2.5” (worn crossbody) and minimum 5” (worn one shoulder). Currently it’s hanging down at my leg with the top of bag starting around mid-bum. I was told cutting the strap most likely affects resell value.

If buying a new strap, H provides a better match (Take a look at H website for pricing ideas - they’re not inexpensive). There are other sites/sources and I also found several shoe repair stores and a consignment store locally that sell purse straps.

If the Evelyne is in a unique non-black color, there’s probably no choice but to cut the strap and never change your mind on the bag unless one is OK with a non-perfect matching strap or hanging low. This is why I’m not buying more Evelynes as it doesn’t work for my height.


(Short version: Hermes Evelyne III PM strap is too long.)

I am taking my Hermes Rooroo for a ride today. This pouch is flat, so it holds very limited if uses for the daily pouch. When travel this pouch is perfect for Passport, air tickets or phone and earphones...
But overall it look nice and chic. I love Barenia leather.

You look great! I was wondering how much the pouch holds and what potential uses are so thank you for sharing! I agree - I love Barenia too! :)
