I'm sorry to say I haven't had a chance to take it out yet!!!
It's either been raining cats and dogs or I've been traveling!
I will update once I get a chance to take it out!
I would also like to know if it hurts because of the shape of the chain. It looks really stunning, and it is not an everyday bag anyway, but when you get a chance to wear it, I'd be curious to know your feedback about the chain indeed.

Wow, you are very knowledgeable. Good to know. No chance to have my hands on it it even if I saved for it then...
I am sure you will be able to find it in store, or they can transfer it from another store for you. I don’t think it will be that popular, especially at that price, even if it is a stunning bag.
 
It really looks stunning. Do you think there will be a leather strap version?
Probably not; the chain is one of the elements that distinguishes this reissued version from the original. I’m not a chain strap girl (no Chanel flaps for me, lol) but I think this chain is stunning and I especially love the version @Bdbunny has in raisin box. Swoon!
 
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.

Gorgeous bag, so elegant and so under the radar! And can I just say, that is next level packaging, the dedicated section for the chain strap. Genius!!! Love that kind of attention to detail.
