Issued as part of Hermès’ 2003 annual theme, Année Méditerranée, this Cadena lock charm reflects the house’s tradition of commemorative designs tied to cultural inspiration. The piece features a stylized map of the Mediterranean Sea embossed across its matte-textured surface, framed by engraved inscriptions reading “HERMÈS 2003” and “ANNÉE MÉDITERRANÉE.” Rendered in silver-tone metal, the charm carries both visual weight and historical significance, originally intended as a decorative accent for Hermès handbags such as the Birkin or Kelly, while also functioning as a small padlock or collectible piece.
