About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
An extremely rare and authentic Hermès "Sac de Ville" or clutch bag, dating precisely from 1925, the historic year of the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Paris.
This item is not simply a vintage accessory; it is a precious testament to the leather craftsmanship of the House under the direction of Émile-Maurice Hermès. This piece has also garnered the direct interest of the Hermès Heritage Center for its private collections.
Key features:
* The leather: Box-calf leather in Rouge H, the House's iconic color, retaining its superb original patina.
* The Art Deco monogram: A raised silver graphic monogram (MTA/MFA) adorns the flap, a masterpiece of the Roaring Twenties' modernist aesthetic.
* Technical innovation: The bag features an ingenious and perfectly functional retractable sliding handle system, allowing it to be carried by hand or as a clutch.
Markings and authenticity:
The bag bears the historic stamp in fine gold under the flap: "HERMÈS / 24, Faubourg Saint-Honoré / PARIS". The fineness and typography of the gilding are perfectly consistent with the production of the mid-1920s.
Technical details:
* Brand: Hermès Paris
* Period: Art Deco (1925)
* Condition: Exceptional condition for a century-old item. The leather is sound, the saddle stitching is firm, and the supple leather interior is clean. Some minor marks are visible in the photos. This 101-year-old bag has never been restored; if you wish to have it restored, it is recommended to entrust it to Hermès.
A unique opportunity for a major collector of Hermès items or a fashion history enthusiast to acquire a piece normally reserved for museum display cases.
