Description
Model History:
Hermès clutches have been around since the 1950s, when the Parisian fashion house expanded its leather goods lines beyond iconic bags like the Kelly and Constance. These minimalist clutches embodied the understated elegance of Hermès, featuring noble materials and a streamlined cut. Each piece from this era was designed to accompany women to social evenings or formal occasions.
Exterior details:
The white leather gives the pouch a bright, sober look. The flap’s rounded cut provides a slight contrast to the rigid lines of the rectangular format. The clean, regular tone-on-tone stitching reinforces the purity of the silhouette. When closed, the pouch measures approximately 26 cm wide by 16 cm high, with a thin thickness suitable for essentials.
Interior details:
The interior is lined with white lambskin leather, renowned for its suppleness and exceptional feel. It features a spacious main compartment and a matching leather zipped pocket, ideal for securing small items. The “Hermès Paris” branding is hot-stamped under the flap, discreetly placed but clearly legible. The overall effect is a sober, high-end finish, true to Hermès standards.
Product Condition:
The clutch is in very good overall condition. The outer leather has been re-dyed in its original color, restoring it to a uniformity and shine close to its original state. A few micro-traces of use may remain on the inner leather, without altering the overall quality. The seams, fastenings and linings are all intact, attesting to meticulous care.
Care instructions:
To preserve the white hue of the leather, handle with clean hands and avoid contact with pigmented materials. Cleaning should be entrusted to a luxury leather professional, giving preference to dry treatment. Storage in a cotton cover, away from direct light and humidity, will maintain the suppleness of the leather and the clarity of the hue.
