Hermès Blue Royal Clemence Cityslide Waistbag PM 2019

Hermès Blue Royal Clémence Cityslide Waistbag PM — Brushed Palladium Hardware, 2019

The Hermès Cityslide PM in Blue Royal Clémence leather is one of the most visually striking and collectible configurations of a silhouette that no longer exists in current Hermès production. Where the Black Togo PM operates in total discretion, the Blue Royal announces itself with a confident, saturated tone that makes this particular Cityslide immediately distinctive — a rare colour on a rare bag, in a leather that brings out the best of both.

Blue Royal — The Most Vivid Blue in the Hermès Palette

Blue Royal is Hermès's brightest and most saturated royal blue — a true, pure blue with no grey, no navy, and no green undertones, reading as an immediate and unambiguous statement of colour. It sits at the bold end of the Hermès blue spectrum — brighter than Bleu de Prusse, more vivid than Bleu Saphir, more assertive than Bleu Indigo — and on Clémence leather's naturally soft, slightly matte surface, it achieves a colour saturation of extraordinary intensity. The pebbled grain of Clémence adds a textural dimension that prevents the colour from reading as flat or synthetic — instead, the blue shifts subtly across the surface as light moves across it, producing a tone of genuine depth.

Clémence — The Right Leather for This Colour

Clémence calfskin is one of Hermès's most practical and tactilely rewarding leathers — a double-tanned, naturally pebbled hide that is supple, scratch-resistant, and holds colour with exceptional evenness. On the Cityslide PM's compact, structured form, Clémence provides the right balance of softness and body — the bag holds its shape through daily use without the stiffness of Epsom or the rigidity of Togo, making it the most comfortable Cityslide leather to wear against the body over extended periods.

Brushed Palladium — Matte Meets Vivid

The brushed palladium hardware — zipper pulls, strap buckle, and closure — provides a matte silver contrast to the vivid blue leather that is significantly more considered than polished palladium would be in the same position. The brushed finish reduces reflectivity and keeps the hardware in a supporting role, allowing the Blue Royal leather to remain the visual focus of the bag at every angle.

PM Format — The Streamlined Choice

The PM (petit modèle) is the more compact Cityslide configuration — a lower-profile, body-hugging crossbody that carries essentials with precision. Features include a main compartment with slip interior pocket, a front zip pocket, and a wide adjustable strap with the Cityslide's signature buckle closure. Worn at the waist or across the body, it disappears into movement while providing constant secure access to essentials.

Discontinued & Collectible

The Hermès Cityslide was discontinued in 2022. Since then, secondary market demand has grown consistently — and the PM in Blue Royal specifically, with its combination of a bold collectible colour and brushed hardware specification, is among the rarer configurations to surface.
