The designs boast stylish and versatile silhouettes that fuse the idea of athleisure with an elegant demeanor. Presented at the Hippodrome de Longchamp horse-racing track in Paris, the accessories combine high fashion mentalities with functional properties. The range of luxurious handbags is a rich one — from smaller options that boast orange accents and an engaging exterior to roomier accessories that communicate a [slouchy aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/softbag-collection). In general, the silhouettes in Hermes' elegant Spring/Summer 2019 collection are masterfully designed with high-quality materials and sporty sensibilities.
