Hermès 1993 Pegasus Cadena Lock Charm

Q: What is the Hermès 1993 Pegasus Cadena Lock Charm?
A: This is a vintage Hermès annual cadena from 1993, designed with the iconic Pegasus motif. Annual cadenas are especially popular with collectors because each design is tied to a specific year and reflects the house’s equestrian heritage.

Q: Is this a functioning lock or mainly a decorative charm?
A: It is made in the style of a small padlock, but pieces like this are most often worn as decorative charms rather than used for everyday security. Most buyers choose it for styling and collectability.

Q: How can I wear or style this piece?
A: This charm is most often styled on a handbag, especially on a strap, loop or hardware point where it can hang securely. Many collectors also use a cadena on a key ring or wear it on a chain as a pendant-style charm.

Q: Will it only suit Hermès bags?
A: No. While it looks especially at home on Hermès pieces, it can also be styled on other handbags or small leather goods as long as there is a secure place to attach it and enough room for it to hang without rubbing excessively.

Q: What size is this charm?
A: According to the product information, it measures approximately 3.5 cm in height, 4 cm in width and 0.5 cm in depth. It is a compact piece that adds a visible vintage accent without looking oversized.

Q: Is this charm solid gold?
A: No. The product information describes it as having gold-tone hardware, so it should be understood as a gold-coloured metal finish rather than a solid gold item.

Q: What condition is this piece in?
A: It is listed in Very Good Condition. The product information notes light marks and signs of use, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is typical and expected for a vintage item of this age.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This piece is listed with no accessories in the product information. That means no box, pouch, key or chain should be assumed to be included unless separately stated on the page.

Q: How should I care for and store it?
A: To help preserve the finish, handle it gently and wipe it with a soft, clean cloth after use. It is best kept away from perfume, cosmetics, chlorinated or salt water, and stored separately in a pouch or case to help minimise scratches and unnecessary wear.
