A nostalchic and retrofuturistic drifter, the Roulis trades its good behavior and stately demeanor for mischievous strolls and boat trips. One look at the Hermès Roulis bag and it’s hard not to see the house’s definitive elegance with a rebellious twist. The Roulis’ prominent, abstract hardware riffs off of the iconic "Chaîne d’Ancre" motif and accents the bag like a choker — which is why it should come as no surprise that Jean Paul Gaultier, fashion’s own enfant terrible, was at the creative helm when the Roulis debuted in 2011. Anchored in history and Gaultier’s avant-garde aesthetic, the Roulis subtly reinterprets a house code that even the most dedicated Hermès lover may not detect.
