A Hermès horseshoe in Bleu Paon Swift calfskin, saddle-stitched in white with punched nail holes, hanging from a slim knotted leather loop.
The Piece
The Paddock charms draw on the stable, the world Hermès came from as a harness and saddle maker. The Fer à Cheval, or horseshoe, is the simplest and most graphic of them, and it has become a favourite for people who prefer something quieter than a Rodeo.
It is cut from Swift, a smooth, finely grained calfskin that takes colour beautifully, here in Bleu Paon, a deep peacock turquoise. Two layers are stitched together with white topstitching around the edge, square nail holes are punched through, and 'HERMÈS PARIS MADE IN FRANCE' is heat-stamped on one side. The loop is a narrow strip of the same leather, knotted through the top of the shoe so it can be slipped around a bag handle.
The horseshoe is about 7.5 cm across and the loop 16.5 cm long, a size that reads clearly on a Birkin, Kelly, Lindy or Evelyne without overwhelming it. Bleu Paon sits especially well on gold, Étoupe, black and orange leathers.
It comes in its orange Hermès box, ready to give or keep.
