Hermes is certainly a whimsical brand. There are a series of bags known as Sac A Malice which translates to Bag of Tricks. What is especially clever about these bags is how the clasp plays in integral part in creating the picture.
The peak of production appears to have been 1988 and 1989 although some sellers identify Sac a Malices as have been make in the 90s and early 2000s.
I have grouped the pictures by theme. There is the beach theme.
