Hermes Sac A Depeche men’s vintage briefcase in Barenia leather, with gold hard-wear, this was a special order as it has my initials embossed on the tongue, it was purchased in May 1997, from the Hermes store in Monaco, France. Comes with original orange Hermes dust bag, gold hardware including lock and one key. The case does show signs of wear and tear with age, however the white stitching is immaculate, it was sent to the Hermes spa in Bond Street London approx 10 years ago and hasn’t been used since and still has the Hermes spa tag. Both the handle and stitching are all perfect. The tongue is embossed with my initial AC as this was a special order, however Hermes can replace this with a new tongue with or without your initials. Barenia leather over time develops a patina, and is regarded as one of the finest leathers that Hermes use, however it is also one of the most difficult to work with as it is one of the softest leathers and show the lightest touch, because of the oil in the leather, the oil naturally heals any surface marks over time. Hermes has since stopped using this leather in bags unless they are a special order. Size is Width 40cm x Height 30 cm Depth 5cm but expands once full with documents.
