Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès Trim 31? A: With approximate measurements of 31 x 22 x 7 cm, this bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, sunglasses, lipstick and a small notebook. A slim tablet may fit, but its narrow profile means it is not ideal for bulky items or most laptops.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This piece is designed primarily as a shoulder bag. With an adjustable strap drop of approximately 24 cm, it will usually sit neatly on the shoulder rather than across the body.
Q: Does the Hermès Trim 31 sit comfortably under the arm? A: Yes, that is one of the reasons the Trim is so well liked. Owners often choose it for its slim, close-to-the-body shape, which makes it comfortable for city use, errands and everyday wear.
Q: How secure and organised is the interior? A: This bag has a clasp closure and one internal pocket. It is designed to keep essentials tidy while maintaining the Trim’s sleek, understated silhouette.
Q: What are the benefits of Epsom leather? A: Epsom leather is appreciated for being lightweight, structured and relatively resistant to scratches. It tends to hold its shape well, making it a practical choice if you want a refined bag that is easier to maintain than many softer leathers.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epsom leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, oils, direct heat and prolonged sun exposure. For storage, keep it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag and avoid overfilling it so the shape stays crisp.
Q: What does the Square E stamp mean? A: The Square E blind stamp indicates production in 2001. On Hermès bags, the blind stamp is one of the important details used to help identify the production year and support authentication checks.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: According to this listing, the exterior and interior are both in Very Good condition with light traces of use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with a well-kept vintage piece.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: No additional items are included with this piece. Everything that comes with the bag should be assumed to be listed in the product information, and this listing states no included items.
Q: Is the Hermès Trim 31 a good everyday bag? A: Yes, if you prefer a slimmer shoulder bag over a larger tote. The Trim 31 is known for its understated Hermès look, light carry and practical day-to-day format for essentials rather than heavy loads.
Q: How do you authenticate this Hermès bag? A: At A Retro Tale, vintage Hermès bags are checked using details such as leather, construction, hardware, stamps and overall consistency. The blind stamp, craftsmanship and finishing are all part of the authentication process.
