Dune

A warm sandy beige that first appeared in late 2025. It sits between cream and camel — quieter than tan, warmer than chalk. On Picotin and Evelyne bags the color looks soft and understated; on smaller shapes like the Jige Élan clutch, it comes across cleaner and a little dressier.

What Dune looks like

Dune is a sandy beige — warmer than chalk, quieter than camel. It does not pull toward orange or gray.

First seen Jun 2024
Last seen Oct 2026

The nearest colors in the Hermès range are Origan, Beige de Weimar, Biscuit, and Trench. All four are dry beiges — none of them lean cream, gray, or taupe.

The Picotin Lock in Dune looks warm and soft across a large surface of Clémence leather. The Jige Élan clutch, which uses Swift, comes across cooler and sharper because the leather is smooth and the shape is flat.

FAQ

What color is Hermès Dune?
A warm sandy beige. Its nearest neighbors in the Hermès range are Origan, Beige de Weimar, Biscuit, and Trench — all dry beiges and tans, not chalky off-whites or gray taupes.
Is Dune a new Hermès color?
Yes. We first saw it on hermes.com in late December 2025. For comparison, Gold has been in the range since the 1970s and Étoupe since the early 2000s.
Is Dune a neutral?
Yes. It has more warmth than cream or chalk, but it pairs easily with black, white, denim, navy, and camel. It does not pull toward orange or pink.
Which bags come in Dune?
We have tracked 48 bag SKUs so far. Models include Picotin Lock 18 and 22, Evelyne III 29, Jige Élan 29, Bolide 1923-25, Halzan 25, So Medor, Jypsière mini, and Della Cavalleria mini. Most are shoulder bags and small totes.
Has Dune appeared on the Birkin or Kelly?
Not yet. Hermès does not sell the Birkin or Kelly on its website, so we would not see one in the online listings we track, and no Dune Birkin or Kelly has come through the preowned listings we follow either. We first saw Dune online in late December 2025.
Is Dune rare?
Not so far. Since we first saw it in late December 2025, Dune has appeared on Hermès sites in 17 countries, mostly on Picotin Lock and Evelyne III bags.
Which countries have had the most Dune restocks?
Through early October 2026, the Netherlands, Ireland, Canada, and the UK had the most Dune bags online, followed by Thailand, France, and Brazil. The US has had only a handful. Set up restock alerts for your country.
What leathers has Dune been made in?
Hermès listing descriptions mention Clémence, Togo, Epsom, and Swift. Clémence is soft and grained; Swift has a smooth surface.
What is the difference between Dune and Kraft?
Kraft is much darker — a golden brown named after the Hermès paper shopping bag, with real depth to it. Dune is several shades lighter and softer, closer to sand. Side by side, Kraft could pass for a tan saddle while Dune stays a pale, muted beige.
Is Dune the same as cream?
No. Cream and Craie are milky off-whites in the Hermès range. Dune is noticeably darker and warmer — a light sandy beige rather than an off-white. Next to a Cream bag, Dune looks tan; next to a tan bag, Dune looks pale.
