Perfect for gallery openings, summer garden parties or weekend brunch, this vintage Hermès Bias H bangle lends a playful pop of multicolour to minimalist looks and elevates both denim-and-tee days and little black dresses alike—a chic slip-on accent from day to night.
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 size is this bangle and how do I know if it will fit me? A: This is a slip-on bangle with an inner circumference of approximately 21 cm (about 6.7 cm inner diameter). For closed bangles, measure around the widest part of your hand (thumb tucked in) and compare that measurement to the bangle’s inner circumference. A 21 cm bangle generally suits hands that measure close to, but not exceeding, this circumference. For context, Hermès enamel bangles are typically offered around 62, 65 and 70 mm inner diameters; 21 cm sits between 65 mm and 70 mm. If in doubt, size up for comfort.
Q: Is the Bias H bangle adjustable or can it be resized? A: No. This is a solid lacquered wood slip‑on bangle and cannot be resized. Choosing the correct size based on your hand circumference is important for comfort and ease of wear.
Q: What is the material and finish of this piece? A: It is crafted in lacquered wood with a multicolour “Bias H” motif and is designed as a lightweight slip‑on style. The glossy lacquer protects the printed design while keeping the piece light on the wrist.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming, and is perfume safe to use when wearing it? A: It is best to avoid direct contact with perfumes, cosmetics, and chlorinated or salt water. Remove the bangle before swimming or bathing. If it does come into contact with these substances, gently rinse with clean, room‑temperature water and dry with a soft cloth promptly.
Q: How should I clean and store a lacquered wood Hermès bangle? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry, non‑abrasive cloth. Avoid solvents, alcohol‑based cleaners, or abrasive polishing cloths. Keep away from excessive heat and prolonged direct sunlight. Store it individually in its protective box or a soft pouch to prevent rubbing against other pieces.
Q: Will stacking it with other bracelets scratch the lacquer? A: Light surface marks can develop over time, especially when stacked with metal pieces. To minimise friction, alternate stacking combinations, mix with softer materials, and store the bangle separately when not in use.
Q: Is this a vintage piece and is availability consistent? A: Yes, this example is described as vintage. Availability of colours and motifs for vintage Hermès bangles varies on the secondary market, so exact prints and sizes may be limited.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, a box is included. If an item (such as a dust bag) is not shown there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: Do you authenticate and can Hermès service this piece in future? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts. For aftercare, Hermès offers maintenance and repair services that are assessed case by case; we can guide you on how to request this if needed.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: This particular bangle is labelled France on its country of origin.
