Ideal for busy weekdays and weekend city breaks, this vintage Hermès Herline Fourre-Tout MM in brown canvas brings effortless utility and style. Dual top handles, six exterior slip pockets and a snap closure make it easy to organise on the go, while the tonal interior with a zipped pocket keeps essentials close. A polished yet practical choice for commuting, errands or travel.
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 measurements and how much does it hold? A: The MM size is approximately 42 × 31 × 10 cm with an ~11 cm handle drop. It comfortably fits A4 documents, a water bottle, a compact umbrella, and daily essentials. Packing capacity varies by organiser and how you arrange items—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact figures.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: Most 13-inch and many 14-inch laptops fit inside the MM. Some slim 15-inch devices may also fit, but we recommend checking your device’s actual dimensions against the bag’s interior and using a padded sleeve. As the tote is unpadded, a bag organiser or base shaper helps protect tech and maintain structure.
Q: What is the closure and pocket layout on this model? A: This Herline Fourre‑Tout MM has a snap button closure at the top, six exterior slip pockets for quick access, and a single interior zipped pocket for valuables.
Q: Does it come with a shoulder strap or have D‑rings for one? A: No. The Fourre‑Tout MM is designed to be hand‑carried by its dual top handles and does not include D‑rings for a strap. We do not recommend aftermarket clip-on solutions that could stress the handles or fabric.
Q: Is the Herline Fourre‑Tout still in production? A: The classic Herline Fourre‑Tout style has been discontinued by Hermès, but it remains widely available on the resale market and is prized for its practicality and lightweight build.
Q: What is the material and is it durable? A: Herline totes are crafted from a hard‑wearing polyamide/polyester canvas with signature H‑web handles and silver‑tone snaps. It is lightweight and robust for daily use, but not waterproof; prolonged exposure to rain may leave marks.
Q: How should I clean and care for the canvas? A: Gently brush away surface dust, then spot clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a drop of mild soap. Avoid soaking, machine washing, harsh chemicals, or direct heat. Let it air‑dry fully before storing. For deep stains, handle fraying, or structural issues, consult a professional bag care service or Hermès After‑Sales.
Q: How should I store the bag to keep its shape? A: Store it loosely stuffed with acid‑free paper or a soft pillow insert, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid hanging by the handles to prevent distortion.
Q: Is it unisex and suitable for travel or work? A: Yes. The clean, utilitarian design is widely worn by all genders. The MM size works well as a smart work tote or carry‑about for commuting and city travel, fitting documents and daily tech with ease.
Q: What is included with this item and how do you authenticate it? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section; this piece is listed without additional items. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, and markings.
