Within the bucolic ambiance of a Sunday spent in the countryside, or in town… to take to the road or just taste a piece of the human adventure… This 20th century icon has come back into style, and now Hermès is bringing it to the next level. Called “Le Flâneur”, this town bicycle is the brand’s newest. When the most chic saddler meets a Parisian’s favorite vehicle, the result is an object who’s quintessential delicateness is equalled only by the beautiful rides to come that it promises. Hermès thought of everything: entirely made of carbon, it can be carried by hand thanks to its transportation handle. The belt transmission makes riding an effortless affair, while the water repellent leather seat is resistant to even the rainiest of days. Add to that hydraulic brakes… Wrapped in bull leather – a full, completely grainy leather with a matte aspect and a spongy texture – the bicycle’s comfort is perfect for any terrain.

Lacquered red, Spanish white, or in a darker shade, its look electrifies the senses and awakens the spirit. Noble and distinguished, Hermès has affixed its mastery of leather to the handles, the seat, and the martyr. Made by French company Time, the bikes won’t be available until November. Just enough time to decide if this might just be the perfect present to put under the tree this year. Hop aboard and ride around town with elegance.
