Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès Sac Vasco? A: As a compact, structured top-handle (approx. 24.5 × 18.5 × 4.5 cm), it fits a large smartphone, slim long wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few small essentials such as lipstick or earphones. It is not suitable for a standard tablet or a water bottle. Capacity varies with how you pack and the internal compartments.
Q: Is the Sac Vasco still produced by Hermès? A: No. The Vasco is a vintage, discontinued Hermès style. Most examples seen today are from mid‑to‑late 20th century production, which is why it is considered a collectible piece.
Q: What is Hermès Box leather and how does it age? A: Box calf is a smooth, glossy calfskin known for its refined structure and elegant sheen. It can show surface scratches, but develops a beautiful patina with use, which helps fine marks blend into the finish over time.
Q: How should I care for the Box leather on this bag? A: Wipe after wear with a soft, dry cloth; avoid contact with water, oils and dyed fabrics; store upright, loosely stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; and keep away from prolonged heat or sunlight. For deeper cleaning, colour touch‑ups or structural work, Hermès after‑sales can evaluate the bag for professional repair or reconditioning.
Q: Can light scratches be improved at home? A: Minor hairline scratches on Box leather can often be softened by gently rubbing with a clean, soft cloth. Deeper scratches, corner wear or finish loss should be assessed by a professional. With time and regular use, patina typically makes fine marks less noticeable.
Q: Does this piece come with a shoulder strap or any extras? A: This particular item is offered as shown and, according to the product information, no additional items are included. The Vasco is primarily designed to be carried by its single rounded top handle.
Q: What kind of clasp does the Vasco use? A: The model is known for its rope‑style rigid twist clasp on the flap with gold‑tone hardware, which secures the bag and lends a jewellery‑like look.
Q: How can I determine the production year of a vintage Hermès bag like this? A: Hermès uses a blind‑stamp system with letters (sometimes inside a shape) and artisan marks to indicate year and workshop. Locations and formats vary by era and model, and stamps on vintage pieces can be faint. If present, we can help you interpret any markings.
Q: Are there shipping restrictions for this bag? A: This example is crafted in calf leather and typically does not require CITES permits. Only exotic‑skin versions of the Vasco (such as crocodile) may be subject to CITES rules depending on destination.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is rigorously examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, heat stamps, hardware, odour and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional product information on request.
