This Hermès Silky City Bag in multicolour printed silk with brown leather trim offers a relaxed yet refined look. In very good vintage condition, it features silver-tone hardware, an adjustable shoulder strap and a blue silk-lined interior. Ideal for weekends away, city outings or adding a vibrant touch to everyday dressing.
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 Silky City Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 33 x 33 x 1 cm, this bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, small cosmetics and other slim items. A tablet-sized item may also fit, but because the silhouette is soft and flat, bulky or sharply shaped belongings can show through the fabric. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: Yes. The Silky City is known for its adjustable strap and relaxed shape. This example has a single adjustable shoulder strap, so it can generally be worn on the shoulder and, depending on your height and preferred fit, may also work crossbody.
Q: Is the silk durable enough for regular use? A: The Silky City is lightweight and more delicate than a fully leather Hermès bag, but it is still designed for practical day-to-day use when handled with care. It is best suited to essentials rather than heavy loads, making it a lovely option for everyday errands, weekends or travel.
Q: Does the bag keep its shape? A: This model is intended to have a soft, fluid silhouette rather than a rigid structure. If you prefer a neater look, carrying lighter essentials or using a small organiser can help the bag sit more evenly. Overfilling it may affect the drape and place extra strain on the silk and leather trim.
Q: How should I care for the silk and leather? A: To preserve the bag, keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight, heat, moisture, oils, ink and potential colour transfer from dark clothing. If the leather becomes damp, gently blot it with a soft lint-free cloth and allow it to dry naturally. Avoid using home leather cleaners or harsh fabric products, and store the bag in a dry place with light stuffing when not in use.
Q: Can the Hermès Silky City Bag handle rain? A: A light sprinkle is less concerning than heavy rain, but it is still wise to avoid wet weather where possible. If the bag gets damp, blot it gently and let it air dry away from direct heat. As this style combines printed silk with leather trim, prevention is always the safest approach.
Q: What does the Square Q stamp mean? A: Hermès blind stamps help date production. A Square Q stamp corresponds to 2013, which matches the serial information listed for this item.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag includes a pouch. Everything included with this piece is listed in the product information, so if an item is not mentioned there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: This piece is in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows light scuffing on the leather corners and a faint mark on the fabric, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted for authenticity by specialists who assess construction details, materials, hardware, stamps and overall craftsmanship. The Square Q stamp and other identifying features are part of the overall authentication process.
