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 are the dimensions of the Hermès Carmen Key Ring? A: This piece measures approximately 11 cm in height and 7 cm in width. As Hermès key rings are handmade, very slight variation can occur, but this gives you a good idea of its scale for everyday use or as a bag charm.
Q: What is the Hermès Carmen Key Ring used for? A: The Carmen is designed as a key ring, but it is also widely used as a decorative bag charm. Its fringe tassel design adds colour and movement, so many collectors enjoy it both as a practical piece and as a playful accent on a handbag.
Q: What is this item made from? A: This vintage piece is crafted in pink leather with silver-tone hardware and the signature fringe tassel detail associated with the Carmen design.
Q: Is the Carmen Key Ring practical for everyday keys? A: Yes, it works well for a small set of everyday keys. That said, the soft leather tassels are better suited to lighter use than to a very bulky bundle of keys, and oversized car fobs may feel a little less convenient.
Q: Can I use it as a bag charm instead of a key ring? A: Yes. In fact, this is one of the most common ways people wear the Carmen. Its soft tassel silhouette and compact size make it especially popular for adding a subtle pop of colour to a handbag.
Q: How do I attach keys to it? A: The Carmen uses a classic metal split ring. Keys are threaded onto the ring in the usual way. It is secure once attached, although very small key holes or thick electronic fobs can be slightly fiddly to put on.
Q: How should I care for the leather? A: Keep it away from water, direct sunlight, intense heat, fragrances, and rough contact with dark textiles that may transfer colour. If it gets damp, gently wipe it with a soft cloth and allow it to dry naturally. Because the leather is soft, it is best not to overstuff or crush it inside a crowded bag.
Q: What is the condition of this specific item? A: This piece is in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows small marks, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches from normal use.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This Hermès Carmen Key Ring comes with a box. Everything included with the item is reflected in the product information on this page.
Q: Where was this item made? A: The country of origin listed for this piece is France, which is consistent with the Carmen line.
