The leather shows a visible patina with watermarks, scuffing and wear, adding to its authentic vintage appeal.
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 RD Duffle Bag? A: With listed measurements of 40 × 25 × 22 cm, this compact duffle is best suited to daily essentials or an overnight pack. It should comfortably hold items such as a wallet, phone, toiletries pouch, scarf, paperback and a light change of clothes. Capacity will vary depending on how you pack, so please refer to the Measurements for the most accurate guide.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: A slim 13-inch laptop or tablet may fit based on the listed width and height, especially in a soft sleeve, but larger laptops may be a tight fit. We recommend comparing your device to the Measurements before purchasing.
Q: Is this bag suitable for cabin travel? A: Its size makes it a practical option for short trips and many cabin-bag scenarios, particularly as a soft duffle. However, airline allowances differ, so please check your carrier’s current hand-luggage rules before travelling.
Q: Does this item come with a shoulder strap? A: This piece is described with dual leather handles, and no shoulder strap is listed in the product information. It should therefore be considered a handheld bag unless otherwise confirmed.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Included with this bag are the clochette, padlock and keys. Only the items listed in the product information are included with the purchase.
Q: Is this a vintage Hermès piece? A: Yes. The blind stamp is noted as circle L, which corresponds to 1982, making this an authentic vintage Hermès bag from the early 1980s.
Q: What condition should I expect? A: This bag is listed in good vintage condition. The leather shows visible patina with watermarks, scuffing and wear to the handles, the interior has stains, and the hardware shows scratches and tarnishing. These signs of age are consistent with a pre-owned piece and are part of its vintage character.
Q: How does the bag close, and what is the interior like? A: The bag features a top zip closure and a tonal canvas lining. This gives it a practical, easy-access interior while keeping the classic travel-bag silhouette.
Q: How should I care for the leather? A: Vintage Hermès leather benefits from gentle handling. Wipe it with a soft, dry or lightly damp lint-free cloth, keep it away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight and excess moisture, and store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag or cover to help preserve its shape. Avoid harsh household cleaners or heavy DIY treatments on older leather.
