I just got the Fonsbelle chaine in raisin box from Paris! It is really beautiful and truly an example of Hermes craftsmanship.
Generally it’s similar to the C24 in size and shape. The clasp clicks in and it’s a solid satisfying click. There is a front flat pocket and the main compartment has a mirror like the Constance and there’s another back flat pocket.
The chain strap is actually in Permabrass hardware and feels substantial and heavy in a good way. The drop length is also just right.
The raisin color is gorgeous, with a subtle hint of dark purple. This was the only Fonsbelle at the moment at FSH and the only bag they had in raisin box leather. There was a noir one earlier this month I was told.
Here are some photos.
