Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès Lydie Box Shoulder Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 26 × 17 × 4 cm, this slim envelope-style bag is best for essentials such as a phone, card holder or compact wallet, keys, passport and a few small beauty items. Its elegant profile is relatively flat, so bulkier items like a large purse, water bottle or tablet are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This piece is designed as a shoulder bag rather than a crossbody style. The strap drop is approximately 37 cm, which generally allows it to sit neatly on the shoulder or under the arm.
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.

Its elegant profile is relatively flat, so bulkier items like a large purse, water bottle or tablet are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This piece is designed as a shoulder bag rather than a crossbody style. The strap drop is approximately 37 cm, which generally allows it to sit neatly on the shoulder or under the arm.
Q: Is the Hermès Lydie a current Hermès style? A: The Lydie is widely regarded as a discontinued Hermès design and is most often found on the vintage and second-hand market. That is part of its appeal for collectors who appreciate older Hermès silhouettes.
Q: What is Box leather, and how does it wear over time? A: Box leather is a smooth, glossy calf leather closely associated with classic vintage Hermès bags. It gives the Lydie its refined, structured look and can develop a beautiful patina with age, but it is also more likely to show surface scratches and signs of contact than more heavily grained leathers.
Q: How should I care for vintage Hermès Box leather? A: Keep it away from rain, oils, perfume, cosmetics, prolonged sunlight and heat. If it gets wet, gently blot it straight away with a soft lint-free cloth. For storage, keep the bag lightly filled to help maintain its shape and place it in a dry environment. Avoid overloading it or using harsh leather products, as Hermès recommends professional care for delicate leather goods.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: This bag has a black leather lining and one internal zip pocket, which is useful for smaller valuables. The flap with H push-lock keeps the overall look sleek and secure.
Q: What condition is this specific bag in? A: It is listed in very good condition overall. The exterior has a visible scratch on the leather, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Does this item come with any extra pieces? A: No. According to the product information for this item, no additional pieces are included.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states France.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Hermès bag like this? A: At A Retro Tale, vintage designer pieces are reviewed by specialists who assess details such as materials, construction, hardware, stamps and overall consistency with the model. This is especially important for older Hermès bags, where craftsmanship details are a key part of authentication.
