Hermès Evercolor leather
A softer grained calfskin with colors that stay bright.
Evercolor is a supple calfskin with a fine printed grain. Hermès dates it to 2012 and says it becomes glossier with age. Hermès presents it as a companion to Evergrain (2004), a grained cousin of Evercalf, the smooth calfskin of the family, which Hermès dates to 2000 and still lists on its website. Owners describe it as sturdier than Swift with much of its color depth.

Origin and history
Evercolor appeared as a middle ground: softer than Epsom, tougher than Swift. It is often chosen for structured shapes that should still feel supple in the hand.
Look and feel
A fine grain, a satin surface and a soft hand. It holds a shape about as well as Togo.
How it wears
Scratches. Better than Swift, according to owners and resellers, though experiences vary: two scratches in a week for one owner (removed with a conditioner), none for others.
Water. Opinions differ, from "not as tough as the rugged leathers" to "resistant".
Shape. Less soft than Swift, close to Togo.
Patina. None described; Hermès says the surface turns glossier with time.
Care
Little care is needed. Home touch-ups are hard because of color matching; boutiques often take care of light scratches.
Who it suits
Careful daily use and structured bags in bright colors.
Where the sources disagree
- Introduction. 2012 for Hermès, 2013 in guides.
- Water. Owners disagree on how well it handles rain.
