Q: What is Fjord leather like? A: Fjord leather is appreciated for its matte appearance, pronounced grain and durable feel. It is generally considered a practical Hermès leather for regular use because the texture can help make light everyday wear less noticeable than on smoother leathers. As with all vintage leather goods, gentle handling and proper storage are still recommended.
Q: Why does the Evelyne have a perforated H on the front? A: The perforated H is one of the Evelyne’s signature design elements and reflects the bag’s equestrian heritage. Historically, the perforations were part of the bag’s practical origins, and many collectors enjoy this detail because it gives the style its instantly recognisable Hermès character.
Q: When was this bag made? A: The stamp is listed as Square C, which dates this specific bag to 1999. For vintage Hermès pieces, the stamp is an important detail that helps identify the production year.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This item is listed in Good Condition. The exterior shows light trace of use, the interior also shows light trace of use, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches. We recommend reviewing all product images carefully so you can assess the vintage condition in detail before purchase.
Q: Does this bag come with any extras? A: No. According to the product information, this item comes with no accessories. If you would like to confirm what is included before purchasing, please refer to the product information or contact customer service.
Q: Where was this Hermès bag made? A: According to the product information, this bag was made in France, which is consistent with Hermès production for many of its leather goods.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Hermès Evelyne? A: Authentication typically involves assessing the leather quality, construction, stitching, hardware, stamp details and overall craftsmanship together rather than relying on just one feature. For this item, details such as the Hermès model, the Square C year stamp and the overall build are all relevant points in that process.
