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 Plume 28? A: With approximate measurements of 28 x 22 x 10 cm, this size works well for daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact notebook. It is best suited to an elegant everyday edit rather than bulky work items or a laptop.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: This Plume 28 is designed primarily to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. It has dual rolled handles with an approximate handle drop of 17 cm and no shoulder strap is included, so shoulder fit can be limited depending on build and outerwear.
Q: What are the benefits of Epsom leather on this bag? A: Epsom leather is appreciated for its structured feel, relatively lightweight nature and its ability to hold shape well over time. On a Plume, that gives the silhouette a clean, refined look while making it a practical choice for regular use.
Q: How should I care for this white vintage Hermès bag? A: As this is a light-coloured vintage leather bag, it is best to keep it away from dark denim, ink, cosmetics, perfume, oils and prolonged sunlight. If it gets damp, gently blot it straight away with a soft lint-free cloth. When not in use, store it lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, with the zip closed, in its dust bag and box in a dry place.
Q: What does the stamp Square H (2004) mean? A: The stamped code indicates the production year of this bag. Square H corresponds to 2004, which confirms this piece as a vintage Hermès Plume from that period.
Q: Does this bag close securely and have interior organisation? A: Yes. This bag has a zip closure for secure everyday use, and the red leather-lined interior includes internal pockets for organising smaller essentials.
Q: What is the condition of this particular item? A: This piece is listed in very good vintage condition with light traces of use to the exterior and interior. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with careful prior wear.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: According to the product information, this item comes with its box and dust bag.
Q: Is the Plume 28 a good everyday Hermès bag? A: Yes, if you prefer a streamlined and understated silhouette. The Plume 28 is known for its light, elegant profile and zipped top, making it a strong choice for daily essentials while remaining more discreet than some of Hermès’ more recognisable shapes.
Q: Is this bag authentic? A: A Retro Tale specialises in authentic luxury vintage pieces, and details such as the leather, construction, hardware and stamp are part of the overall authentication review. If you would like more reassurance before purchasing, you can always request additional product information and close-up images.
