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 is the Hermès 8CC City Card Holder? A: The City 8CC is a streamlined, architectural card holder designed for minimalism and functionality. Featuring a compact rectangular profile, it offers eight card slots—typically arranged with four on the front and four on the back—and a central open compartment for notes or receipts.
Q: What are the dimensions and capacity? A: This card holder measures approximately 11.5 x 8 cm (W x H) with a slim depth of 0.5 cm. It is designed to hold at least eight cards in the dedicated slots, while the central pocket provides space for folded cash or additional essentials.
Q: What material is this item made from? A: This piece is crafted from blue and black grained leather (often Epsom or Evercolor), which is a signature of the Hermès City line. Grained leather is celebrated for its durability, resistance to scratches, and ability to maintain its shape over time.
Q: Is the City 8CC unisex? A: Yes. Although it is often found in the men's collection, the City 8CC’s understated aesthetic, neutral colourway, and practical design make it a popular choice for all genders.
Q: Can it hold cash? A: Yes, the central compartment is suitable for folded banknotes. However, it is primarily designed as a slim card holder, so carrying large amounts of cash may increase the bulk.
Q: How should I care for the leather? A: To preserve the leather's condition, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth if needed. When not in use, store it in a dust bag or box to prevent scratches and shape distortion.
Q: Where can I find the date stamp? A: Hermès small leather goods feature a 'blind stamp' (a debossed code indicating the year of manufacture) typically hidden inside a pocket. This specific item bears a 'Y' stamp, corresponding to production in 2020.
Q: How is authenticity verified? A: A Retro Tale authenticates every item through a rigorous multi-point inspection process, examining the leather quality, stitching, stamps, and construction. The 'Made in France' stamp and date code are key elements we verify.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: Inclusions for pre-owned items vary. Please refer to the Accessories section of the listing description. If original packaging like a box or dust bag is not explicitly listed or shown in the photos, it is likely not included.
