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 the Hermès Trim 31? A: The Trim 31 is a medium-sized daily bag that sits comfortably under the arm. It generally fits a continental wallet, a large smartphone, cosmetic pouch, sunglasses, keys, and a small notebook or e-reader. Its flat, body-hugging profile makes it ideal for essentials, though very bulky items like rigid water bottles may affect the silhouette. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: The single flat shoulder strap is adjustable via a buckle to suit your preferred shoulder drop. The Trim is the quintessential shoulder bag (historically favoured by style icons like Jackie Kennedy) and is generally not designed for crossbody wear, as the strap is typically too short for that purpose on most figures.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: This specific model features a top zip closure, providing excellent security for your belongings. It also includes the signature front clasp (hook) strap that clips over the top; you can fasten it for the classic structured look or leave it undone for a more relaxed, slouchy vibe and easier access.
Q: What is Toile H canvas? A: Toile H is Hermès’ signature sturdy cotton canvas, often paired with leather trim for a sporty, equestrian aesthetic. It is lightweight and durable but can be susceptible to stains or colour transfer (e.g., from dark denim). We recommend handling it with care to keep the fabric crisp and clean.
Q: How should I care for this vintage bag? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged direct sunlight. For the leather trim, wipe with a soft, dry cloth and condition sparingly with a high-quality neutral leather product if needed. The canvas should be kept dry; if cleaning is required, we suggest consulting a professional service. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain its shape.
Q: Is the Trim 31 still produced? A: The classic Trim 31 in this vintage configuration is generally discontinued, making it a sought-after piece on the pre-loved market. Hermès occasionally releases re-editions like the Trim Duo, but the original vintage models are prized for their history and specific hardware details.
Q: Where can I find the date code (Blind Stamp)? A: On Trim bags, the Blind Stamp (indicating the year of production) is often located on the underside of the strap tab or near the hardware attachment. This listing identifies the piece as from 2002 (Square F). If you need help locating it or seeing it clearly, please contact us for additional photos.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a rigorous multi-point inspection by our in-house experts. We examine the materials (Leather and Toile H quality), stitching, hardware (engravings and finish), stamps and the date code to ensure authenticity. We stand behind every piece we sell.
Q: What accessories come with this bag? A: Any included accessories, such as a dust bag or box, are listed in the “Accessories” section of the product description. This specific listing notes that no accessories are included.
