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 typically fits inside the Hermès Sac à Dépêches 27 Business Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 26.5 x 20 x 6 cm, it is best suited to compact daily essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, a slim notebook, small documents, and possibly a small tablet or e-reader. It is a structured, compact business bag rather than a large briefcase, so bulky items are not recommended.
Q: Will this bag fit a laptop? A: In most cases, no. The 27 size is much more compact than the larger Sac à Dépêches briefcases usually chosen for laptop carry, so it is better suited to a tablet or smaller paperwork. We recommend comparing your device measurements carefully with the bag dimensions listed in the product information.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This specific item is designed to be carried by hand using its single top handle. No shoulder strap is listed in the product information.
Q: What does the Square I (2005) stamp mean? A: This is the Hermès blind stamp, which helps date the piece. A letter inside a square was used for bags made between 1997 and 2014, and Square I corresponds to 2005.
Q: Is the closure secure? A: Yes. The bag has a front flap with a push-lock style closure, and the Sac à Dépêches line is known for its lockable clasp design. This item also comes with a clochette and keys.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece includes a clochette and keys. Everything included with the item is shown in the product information, so if something is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows scuffs on the corners, scratches to the leather, and a dent from a buckle. The interior has light traces of use, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches and some discolouration.
Q: How do you authenticate this Hermès bag? A: A Retro Tale specialises in authentic luxury vintage pieces, and each item is checked for details such as leather quality, construction, hardware, stamping, and overall consistency before being offered for sale.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Hermès leather bag? A: Store it in a dry, temperate place away from direct sunlight and heat, and avoid overfilling it so the shape stays crisp. Keep it away from water, oils, ink, and alcohol-based products, and if it gets damp, gently blot it with a soft lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning or restoration, professional care is the safest option.
