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 leather bucket bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 27 × 25 × 14 cm, it comfortably carries everyday essentials such as a smartphone, long wallet, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch, keys, an A5 notebook or e‑reader, and a 500 ml water bottle. Larger tablets around 11 inches may be too tall for the drawstring opening; compact tablets up to about 8–9 inches fit more comfortably.
Q: Can the adjustable strap be worn crossbody? A: The strap drop is around 25 cm, designed for shoulder carry. It is generally not long enough for crossbody wear on most heights.
Q: How secure is the drawstring closure? A: A drawstring offers quick access and a cinched top. For small valuables, use a zipped pouch and cinch firmly; it is less tamper‑resistant than a zip closure.
Q: What type of leather is this and how should I care for it? A: The dark brown grained leather is durable and intended to age beautifully. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use; avoid excessive moisture, oils, or solvents. Store lightly stuffed with acid‑free paper in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Q: Is the hardware real gold? A: Hermès hardware is typically brass plated with fine gold, palladium, or permabrass. To preserve the plating, clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid abrasive polishes or chemicals.
Q: My bag’s hardware has light scratches—what should I do? A: Light hairline marks are normal with use. Avoid metal polishes at home, as they can thin or remove plating. If desired, seek professional aftercare; an Hermès boutique can advise what is feasible for your specific piece.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number? A: Hermès uses blind stamps rather than serial numbers. A discreet letter code (sometimes accompanied by a shape, depending on the era) and artisan marks are embossed in the leather—usually inside the bag—indicating production year and workshop details.
Q: Can Hermès Spa service a vintage bucket bag? A: Hermès offers maintenance and repair services subject to an in‑store assessment. Eligibility and scope depend on the bag’s condition and materials; a boutique will provide guidance and timelines.
Q: There is a vintage smell—will it fade? How can I minimise it? A: Light vintage scent often dissipates with careful airing. Place the bag in a well‑ventilated room, loosely stuffed with acid‑free paper. Odour‑absorbing sachets with activated charcoal can help. Avoid direct sun, fragrance sprays, or harsh deodorisers that may stain leather.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: All included items are stated under product information. This listing shows no additional items included; if an item such as a dust bag or padlock is not listed there, it is not included. Our team is happy to confirm.
