Hermès Epsom Trim 31 Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès Trim 31?
A: With approximate measurements of 31 × 22 × 7 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case, a compact umbrella, a small water bottle, and an A5 diary or e‑reader. Smaller tablets (up to around 8–9 inches, such as iPad mini) fit; larger tablets (10–11 inches) generally do not fit comfortably. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.

Q: Can the Trim 31 be worn crossbody?
A: This model is designed as a shoulder bag. The single adjustable strap on this piece has an approximate drop of 27 cm (and typically adjusts to the mid‑20s cm range), so it sits neatly under the arm. Crossbody wear isn’t intended with the original strap.

Q: How secure is the closure?
A: The bag features a top zip complemented by a front clasp on a crossover leather strap. This dual closure offers quick access while keeping contents secure for daily use.

Q: What is Epsom leather and how does it wear over time?
A: Epsom is a heat‑embossed calfskin with a fine, even grain. It is lightweight, holds its shape well, and is relatively resistant to scratches and light moisture. It’s a great choice for everyday use if you prefer a more structured look.

Q: How should I care for Epsom leather and the suede lining?
A: Wipe the exterior occasionally with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid oils, alcohol‑based cleaners, and prolonged heat or direct sunlight. For the suede lining, gently shake out debris and use a clean suede brush or a lint roller; keep pens and cosmetics in pouches and avoid contact with liquids. Store the bag stuffed (with tissue or a soft insert) in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.

Q: Is the strap adjustable or removable?
A: The strap adjusts via a buckle to several positions for shoulder carry. It is not designed to be removed.

Q: What does the date stamp Square E (2001) indicate?
A: Hermès uses a blind‑stamp system to indicate production year. A letter within a square corresponds to 1997–2014 production; the letter E in a square denotes the year 2001. The stamp is typically found on an interior leather panel, along with separate artisan codes. Our team has verified this during authentication.

Q: What hardware finish does this piece have?
A: It has silver‑toned hardware, commonly palladium‑plated on models from this era. Hairline scratches are normal with use; wipe gently with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive contact to maintain the finish.
