1988 Hermès Vintage Elephant Cadena Charm Lock

A Charm of Epic Proportions

In 1988, Hermès debuted its very first annual Cadena, launching a tradition where one exclusive charm was released each year based on the house’s theme. This Elephant Cadena, plated in palladium, marks the beginning of this collectible legacy and remains a rare and meaningful piece, symbolizing strength, wisdom, and good fortune.

Designed to be both decorative and functional, it can be styled on a Birkin or Kelly, adding a unique touch in place of the traditional lock. With its limited release and rich history, this 37-year-old charm remains a sought-after collector’s item—proof that true craftsmanship stands the test of time.
