Hermes Bracelet Sizing Guide
As many of you know, I love Hermes bangles, particularly the printed enamel bracelets. The printed enamel designs are beautiful and timeless, and I like that they’re not particularly popular right now. Whether you choose an enamel, the Clic Clac, or a leather variety, a Hermes bracelet will jazz up your outfit (and camouflage your Target dress!) no matter your personal style. They look good on everyone!
Sizing, however, is not the easiest thing to navigate and is one of the number one questions I receive. It can be particularly challenging since the sizing varies by style. To make things even more confusing, Hermes recently converted their sizing of their leather bracelets (more on that below.)
I have put together my recommendations, based off my own personal purchases. Of course there are more bracelets available than what I have listed, but these are the popular styles and should give you a strong frame of reference. Especially if you’re going to buy second hand, you’ll want to figure your size out before buying. As always, I recommend going into a Hermes store and trying on the bracelets you’re interested in; then when you see a good deal on a bracelet in my stories you can pounce!
I hope this guide helps to demystify Hermes sizing. If you have additional comments, feel free to contact me. I will continue to update as I have bracelet sizing tips. Enjoy!

HERMES PRINTED ENAMEL BANGLES:
This bangle is hands down my favorite. It comes in three sizes: 62mm, 65mm, and 70mm. The size 65 is the most common size you will find. The real kicker with this style is that you have to get the enamel bangle over your hand. It does not hinge, so you really want to consider your hand instead of your wrist. I wear a size 65, but I am short and have small hands. I can fit into the size 62, but it’s tighter over my hand. If you’re very short or very thin, the 62 may be your best option. If you have larger hands or particularly tall, you may want to take the size 70. If you’re curvier you will likely want the 70. There is no perfect science here, so again, a store try on will be beneficial! I saw a woman online using pantyhose over her hand to shove a snug Hermes bangle over her hand; don’t do this. A trip to the ER is not T&T!
HERMES WEBSITE SIZING GUIDE
A bracelet should sit snugly on the wrist and not slide up and down. It should wrap around it, but not feel tight. To measure your bracelet size, hold out your hand with your thumb outstretched and aligned with your other fingers. Using a measuring tape or even a strip of paper, measure your hand circumference. Refer to the chart to discover your bracelet size. Go ahead, give yourself a hand! Measure your hand circumference thumb included
62mm- 7.2 inches
65mm- 7.5 inches
70mm- 8.6 inches
HERMES CLIC CLAC H:
This hinged H bracelet comes in two sizes: PM and GM. I take the size PM. The good news is that this bangle hinges so you don’t have to worry about getting the bangle over your hand. Sizing is more a matter of the size of your wrist. I accidentally got a GM once and kept it because I loved the colors but it felt big and fell down my hand. If you tend to be curvier or have larger wrists, the GM will be a better fit. Men should take the GM.

This bracelet opens and closes directly on the forearm like a cuff. Therefore, you only need to measure your wrist circumference when choosing your bracelet. A properly fitted watch strap can serve as your guide. However, you can also use a measuring tape. The chart below indicates which Hermès sizes correspond to measurements.
PM- 6.2 inches
GM- 7.1 inches
NEW HERMES LEATHER BRACELET SIZING
As if sizing could not get confusing enough, Hermes recently changed their leather sizing terminology and added additional sizes in some styles. I called a few stores to clarify sizing, but if you have additional comments, please feel free to contact me with additional input! In general, it seems that the equivalents are below. This will be particularly helpful when shopping consignment, as many consignment pieces will be in the old XS to L sizing.
T1= XS
T2= S
T3= M
T4= L
HERMES COLLIER DE CHIEN (CDC)
This chunky, fabulous bracelet, which originated as a bespoke dog collar, comes in T1,T2 and T3. It used to only come in a PM and GM Size. In speaking with the sales associate at Hermes, the old PM is between a T1 and a T2. If you are more petite and like a closer fit, you should order the T1. If you have a slightly larger wrist and or like a roomier fit, you should order the T2. However if you’re fuller figured or like a roomier fit, the T3 may be a better option. Men should take the T3 (or the old GM). The good news with the CDC is that there are there are several openings for the prong which allows you to size this bracelet to get the right fit.

HERMES RIVALE DOUBLE TOUR
This comes in T1-T4 (it used to be XS-L.) I take the T1/XS but honestly felt in between sizes. The T2/S was too big and spun around my wrist, so I went with the T1/XS.

HERMES KELLY DOUBLE TOUR:
This comes in T1-T4 (it used to be XS-L.) What is funny is you would think the sizing for this is the same as the Rivale as they’re both leather with hardware. (The Hermes website also suggests sizing is the same). However, the Kelly Double Tour runs small. The T1/S Double Tour would not even close for me, so I wear a size T2/S.

HERMES HAPI DOUBLE TOUR:
I tried this style on recently and found the sizing was similar to that of the Kelly Double Tour. I fit into the T2/S.
