Wondering if others could provide some more information around the reissued Fonsbelle bag (SS24). I've primarily seen it mentioned as a vintage piece in some of the threads here but I'm hoping to see if anyone has acquired or possibly seen the newer version (with a chain strap) in person? I'll likely ask my SA about it but was hoping to get some insight/feedback from the other knowledgeable members here. TIA!

I've referenced what I can here on tpf:

If I'm not mistaken this is Bolide a Dos. Explains the proportions since they made a Bolide backpack in the 90's

Ode to the Roulis

I'd been stalking Celine red box for a long long time but didn't feel the luv once I held it on my shoulder & don't like delicate leather. I've also never really like Constance H-metal looks at all but I wanted a similar bag. I've finally seen it in this Roulis design. Thanks for yr pics. I...

ETA: and the more I look into it, the more I'm thinking I may need to go on a vintage hunt!

*Mods - if there is already a thread (but I couldn't seem to find one...), please move as needed.

Ooh! Is that what I think it is?!? Are they bringing back a twist on the Fonsbelle? Or is that just a diy project on a vintage bag…

Yes, it's the Fonsbelle with chain strap.

Ohhh love the look of this bag!! I'm relatively new to Hermes, and this is the first time I've seen an H bag with a chain strap. Does Hermes have any other bags with a chain strap?

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.
