Hermès Della Cavalleria
The Della Cavalleria is a small Hermès bag worn on a strap, listed online in two versions: the Della Cavalleria Elan (21.5 × 15 × 6 cm) and the Della Cavalleria mini bag II (18 × 15 × 6 cm). Both are made in Epsom calfskin. In the UK the Elan costs £5,780 and the mini £5,290.
What is the Hermès Della Cavalleria
The Della Cavalleria is a flat, compact bag on an adjustable strap. Both versions are 15 cm tall and 6 cm deep and differ only in width and strap. The name is Italian for "of the cavalry", which fits a house that started in Paris in 1837 as a harness workshop.
Hermès lists the French version of the mini with an interior pocket, a back pocket and an adjustable strap for wearing it on the shoulder or across the body. Epsom calfskin is the standard leather on both versions, and the Elan has also been listed in Tadelakt. Hardware on the listings is palladium plated, Permabrass or yellow gold plated.
Della Cavalleria sizes
| Model | Dimensions, cm | Dimensions, inches | Strap | What fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hermès Della Cavalleria Elan | 21.5 × 15 × 6 | 8.5″ × 5.9″ × 2.4″ | 68.5–111.5 cm with snap hook | Phone, card holder, keys, lipstick |
| Hermès Della Cavalleria mini bag II | 18 × 15 × 6 | 7.1″ × 5.9″ × 2.4″ | 96–118.5 cm without snap hook | Phone, card holder, keys |
Della Cavalleria Elan
The Della Cavalleria Elan measures 21.5 × 15 × 6 cm, 3.5 cm wider than the mini. Its strap has a snap hook and adjusts from 68.5 to 111.5 cm, a 43 cm range. It is the only version listed in Tadelakt as well as Epsom, and it covers all ten colours we recorded for the line, including Rouge H and Dune, which were not seen on the mini. In Epsom it costs £5,780 in the UK and €5,900 in France.
Della Cavalleria mini bag II
The mini bag II measures 18 × 15 × 6 cm: the same height and depth as the Elan in a narrower body. Hermès gives its strap length without the snap hook, 96 to 118.5 cm, so the figure cannot be compared directly with the Elan's. It costs £5,290 in the UK, £490 less than the Elan, and €5,400 in France. We recorded it in eight colours, among them Gold, Craie, Étoupe, Noir and New Bleu Jean.
Hermès Della Cavalleria prices
Official prices for the Della Cavalleria are available for the UK and France only; we have no confirmed Japanese or US price, so those cells stay empty. The French store lists the mini under two product codes at the same €5,400. Retail prices include local taxes, which is why £5,780 and €5,900 for the same Elan do not match at the exchange rate.

Della Cavalleria leathers and colours

How to buy a Della Cavalleria
Online at hermes.com
The Della Cavalleria is sold through the Hermès online store, and both versions have been listed there. Stock is added without notice and can sell out quickly, so buying online depends on seeing a listing soon after it goes live.
In a Hermès boutique
Boutiques receive their own stock, which varies by store and by day. A sales associate can check whether a Della Cavalleria is available in person, but that says nothing about the online store.
On the resale market
Second-hand listings often ask more than the Hermès retail price and carry a risk of counterfeits. Buy from a reseller that authenticates each bag, and check the asking price against the official prices above.
