Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside this Hermès Herbag Cabas Tote Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 40 x 21 x 13 cm, it works well for daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, sunglasses, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, a notebook and a compact water bottle. Its shape is long and slim rather than deep, so bulky items will take up space quickly. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this tote be carried comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. It has dual flat shoulder straps with an approximate drop of 22 cm, so it is designed to sit on the shoulder for many users. The fit can vary depending on your frame and what you are wearing.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: Most standard laptops are likely to be too tall for this bag’s 21 cm height. A small tablet, e-reader or slim notebook is a better fit.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: This piece is crafted in black canvas with black leather trim, finished with silver-tone hardware and a tonal canvas lining. The canvas-and-leather combination is one of the signatures of the Herbag line and helps keep the bag practical for everyday use.
Q: Does this bag have a zip or other top closure? A: This specific item has an open top. That makes it easy to access your belongings, but if you prefer extra organisation it is a good idea to use the included pouch for smaller essentials.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information states that this bag comes with a replacement pouch. If a box, dust bag, lock, keys or authenticity card are not listed in the product information, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What does the Square F stamp mean? A: Hermès blind stamp Square F corresponds to 2002, so this bag dates from that year.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in very good vintage condition. The product information notes minor wear on the canvas, scuffed corners, a light trace of use inside and shiny hardware with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for a vintage canvas-and-leather Hermès tote? A: Wipe the canvas and leather gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid soaking, rubbing or using harsh cleaning products. Store it upright, lightly stuffed, and in a breathable dust bag or cotton pillowcase away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: How can a Hermès bag like this be authenticated? A: Authentication should consider the full picture rather than a stamp alone, including materials, construction, hardware, embossing, proportions and consistency with the model and era. The Square F stamp is one useful date indicator, but it should always be assessed alongside the bag itself.
