Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès Vespa PM? A: With measurements of approximately 28 x 28 x 7 cm, this size is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, sunglasses, small cosmetics and a slim notebook. It is roomier than a mini bag, but its slim profile means bulkier items and most laptops will not fit comfortably.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The strap measurement is listed as 50 cm. For many people, that creates an easy shoulder carry, and it may also work crossbody depending on your height and preferred fit. Comparing the strap measurement to a bag you already own is the best way to judge how it will sit on you.
Q: What is special about Epsom leather? A: Epsom calfskin is prized for its fine embossed grain, light weight and structured feel. It tends to hold its shape well and is generally more resistant to visible scratching than many smoother leathers, which makes it a popular choice for everyday Hermès styles.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epsom leather? A: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently remove surface dust, and avoid exposure to rain, heat, direct sunlight, oils, perfume and ink. Do not overload the bag, and when it is not in use, store it in a dry place with light stuffing inside and the dust bag over it to help maintain its shape.
Q: How does the Vespa PM compare with the Hermès Evelyne PM? A: These two styles are often compared because they fill a similar casual day-bag role. The Vespa PM is generally seen as the quieter and more understated option, while the Evelyne PM is sportier and usually more recognisable. This Vespa also has a cleaner front and a Chaine d'Ancre closure, which gives it a more discreet look.
Q: Does this bag have any interior organisation? A: Yes. This piece has a suede lining with one internal slip pocket, which is useful for flatter essentials you want to keep separate from the main compartment.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag comes with a dust bag. Everything included with the purchase is listed in the product information, so if an item is not mentioned there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What should I know about the condition of this specific bag? A: It is listed in good condition overall. The noted signs of wear are scuffing on the corners, light traces of use inside, and shiny hardware with light scratches. These details are worth reviewing closely if you prefer very crisp vintage pieces.
Q: Is the serial or date stamp readable on this bag? A: The serial number is noted as illegible. On vintage Hermès pieces, stamps can soften with age and wear. A readable stamp is useful, but it should be considered alongside the leather, hardware, construction and overall seller vetting rather than as the only point of assessment.
