Hermès Kyoto Cuff Bracelet

Q: What is the Hermès Kyoto Cuff Bracelet made from?
A: This piece features dark green leather with gold-tone hardware in a structured cuff design. The Kyoto style is known for pairing leather with a clean, sculptural cuff silhouette for an elegant vintage look.

Q: What wrist size is it best suited to?
A: The listed bracelet perimeter is 15 cm, so it is best suited to a slim wrist. As with most cuff bracelets, fit can vary slightly depending on where you wear it on the wrist and how close-fitting you prefer it.

Q: Is the bracelet adjustable?
A: This is a cuff-style bracelet rather than a strap bracelet, so it is not highly adjustable. It should be slipped on carefully and not bent or forced, as that can put stress on the leather and hardware.

Q: What condition is this bracelet in?
A: It is listed in Very Good condition with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches, which are typical signs of gentle wear on a vintage piece.

Q: Is this a vintage Hermès piece?
A: Yes, this bracelet is listed as vintage. With vintage Hermès jewellery, slight patina, minor marks and gentle ageing of the leather can be part of the character and charm of the piece.

Q: What product information is included with the bracelet?
A: A dust bag is included. If a box, authenticity card or any other product information is not listed on this page, it should not be assumed to be included.

Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware?
A: Keep it away from water, perfume, lotions, heat and prolonged direct sunlight. After wear, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth and store it in a dry place inside its dust bag when not in use.

Q: Can I wear this bracelet every day?
A: It can work beautifully for regular wear, but leather-and-metal cuffs stay looking their best when removed before exercise, showering, swimming or household chores. Rotating wear will also help preserve the shape and finish over time.

Q: How is authenticity handled for this piece?
A: A Retro Tale states that its items are authenticated by in-house experts. The brand also offers a separate digital authenticity certificate service if you would like additional documentation.
