The History of Hermès Cadenas Locks

Memo on Cadenas locks for Hermès bags (Cadenas = lock in French).

Initially, the lock on Hermès bags was of purely practical importance — it served for security during the interwar period. A century later, remaining in its place, it has turned into a pure design element, which once again proves that truly great design is born from functionality, and not from the desire for "beauty".

The Vintage Voyage team can get you any of the famous Cadenas series.
