Q: How should I care for a vintage Hermès canvas and leather bag? A: Handle it gently and avoid overloading it, as this helps protect both the canvas and the leather straps.

For deeper cleaning or leather treatment, professional care is recommended.
Q: How do you authenticate Hermès bags at A Retro Tale? A: A Retro Tale states that every item is authenticated by in-house experts through a two-step screening process. The team reviews details such as craftsmanship, materials, stamps and overall construction to help ensure authenticity.
