Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès In-the-Loop 18 Bag? A: The 18 size is a compact day-to-evening bag best suited to essentials. It will typically hold a phone, card holder, keys, lipstick and a few small daily items. For the exact proportions of this listed piece, please refer to the Measurements on this page: 26 × 20 × 12 cm.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: No. The In-the-Loop 18 is designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. This item has dual flat handles with an approximately 9 cm handle drop and no shoulder strap included.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: This model features a hook closure at the top. It offers more coverage than a fully open bucket bag, but it is not as enclosed as a zipped style, so it is best suited to everyday essentials rather than very loose small items.
Q: What materials and features does this specific bag have? A: According to this listing, it features grained leather, gold-tone hardware, dual flat handles, a tonal suede lining and a hook closure. The overall look is compact, structured and easy to dress up or down.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior shows light traces of use, the interior has a minor mark on the base, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: When was this bag made? A: The serial stamp is listed as U, which corresponds to 2022 production for this item.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: This piece comes with a box and dust bag. Everything included is shown in the product information section of this page.
Q: Is the In-the-Loop 18 a practical everyday size? A: It can be, if you prefer to carry light. The 18 size is ideal for short outings, lunches, evenings out and minimal daily use, but it is not intended for bulkier items such as a tablet, water bottle or larger long wallet.
Q: How should I care for and store it? A: Store it in its dust bag in a cool, dry place, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. Avoid overfilling, prolonged direct sunlight, rain and rough surfaces, and wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after use.
