Hermès unveils a colourful collection of do-it-all liners

What is it about colouring that takes us back to our childhood? The memories? The creativity? Whatever it may be, Hermès is rekindling that sense of childlike wonder with the release of Trait d’Hermès—a kaleidoscopic collection of eye pencils, lip pencils, eyeliner and accessories.

Crafted to resemble an artist’s palette, the launch includes 40 lip and eye shades to play with. For the eyes, choose from 24 colourful matte and iridescent hues both classic (think Noir Fusain and Brun Bistre) and bold (like Vert Paon and Jaune Impérial) with a rich, smooth texture. As for the lips, sixteen shades cover the red, pink, orange and beige families, aligning with the French Maison’s signature Rouge Hèrmes lipsticks.

With the wooden pencils and their sharpeners stored in the brand’s iconic orange boîte like a pencil case, visions of back-to-school days of yore come to mind—and we’re soaking up the nostalgia of it all.
