There are Hermès bags everyone knows, and then there are the ones collectors quietly keep to themselves.
The Trim is one of them.
Introduced in the 1950s and inspired by the world of equestrian sport, the Trim became one of Hermès’ most elegant everyday silhouettes — understated, beautifully balanced and unmistakably French in that effortless sort of way.
This example is crafted in rich black Box Calf leather, one of Hermès’ most iconic leathers, prized for its smooth finish, subtle sheen and ability to develop character with age and wear. It is truly one of the most luxurious feeling leathers I have ever touched.
The soft hobo silhouette sits comfortably under the shoulder, while the signature equestrian clasp pays homage to the house’s origins as master saddlers.
Unlike the structure of a Kelly or Birkin, the Trim was designed to move with the wearer. Relaxed but impossibly chic, it feels just as relevant today as it did when it first appeared decades ago.
Finished with gold-plated hardware that has worn beautifully over time, adding to the authenticity and charm that only genuine vintage Hermès can offer.
Stamped Hermès Paris Made in France and believed to date to the 1970s–1980s.
Condition is good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age, including some rubbing to the corners, gentle creasing to the Box Calf leather and wear to the gold plating on the hardware, all of which are reflected in the price and visible in photographs. Some very light scratches on the leather, not visible unless seen up close. the leather is incredibly soft and high quality
