The Hermès Pegasus Cadena is one of the maison’s most recognisable vintage bag charms, transforming the mythical winged horse—an enduring symbol within the Hermès universe—into a beautifully sculpted piece of collectible hardware. Originally designed as a decorative lock charm, vintage Cadenas have since developed a cult following among Hermès collectors worldwide, particularly as many of these whimsical designs are no longer produced.
 
This is the coveted Pegasus Cadena, distinguished by its sculptural winged-horse design and classic gold-plated finish. Discontinued by Hermès, the Pegasus has become increasingly collectible as enthusiasts seek out archival accessories to personalise their Kelly, Birkin, Picotin, or other Hermès bags. Beyond being worn as a bag charm, vintage Cadenas are also collected as miniature pieces of Hermès history, with the more distinctive motifs becoming especially desirable. The Pegasus remains one of the most instantly recognisable designs, making this an excellent addition for both seasoned Hermès collectors and those beginning an archival collection.
 
For seasoned Hermès collectors, Cadenas are a rabbit hole of their own. These tiny pieces of archival Hermès history were produced in wonderfully imaginative designs, and the winged Pegasus remains one of the most charming and recognisable. With the design long discontinued, sourcing one today is less about walking into a boutique and more about waiting for the right vintage example to surface. A fabulous finishing touch on an Hermès bag—and an equally delightful collectible even if you never intend to wear it.
