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 Vintage Boston Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 39 x 21 x 24 cm, it offers roomy space for daily essentials and more. You can comfortably fit items such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, cosmetic pouch, a small tablet, and a light cardigan or toiletries, making it a strong option for day use or a short overnight stay.
Q: Does this bag close securely? A: Yes. This bag features a top zip closure, which helps keep your belongings secure while maintaining the classic Boston bag shape.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: This piece is designed to be carried in the hand rather than on the shoulder. It has dual rolled handles with an approximate handle drop of 10 cm, and no shoulder strap is listed for this item.
Q: Is this bag better for everyday use or short trips? A: It works well for both, depending on how you pack. Its structured Boston shape and generous interior make it practical as a roomy everyday bag, while the size also suits an overnight stay or light weekend essentials.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: The overall condition is listed as good. The exterior shows scuffing to the edges and corners, along with some marks on the body. Inside, there are light signs of use, and the hardware is tarnished with light scratches. This is consistent with a well-kept vintage piece that has been previously loved.
Q: Is this Hermès bag made in France? A: Yes. The country of origin listed for this item is France.
Q: What product information is included with the bag? A: No additional product information is included with this item. If something is not listed on the product page, it should be assumed not to be included.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number or date stamp? A: No serial number is listed in the product information for this specific piece. Vintage Hermès bags are usually identified by a discreet blind stamp rather than a conventional serial number, and the placement can vary by model and age.
Q: How should I care for the vintage leather and hardware? A: Gently wipe the leather with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, oils, or metal polish. Keep the bag away from prolonged sunlight, heat, and moisture, and store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag when not in use. Because this is a vintage item with existing wear, gentle handling will help preserve its shape and finish.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Hermès bag like this? A: At A Retro Tale, vintage luxury pieces are checked for authenticity using a multi-point review of details such as materials, construction, stitching, hardware, brand markings, and overall craftsmanship. For Hermès, discreet date or blind stamps may also be relevant depending on the model and era.
