@pyrexia, my recollection is not 100%, but no. When I tried it on crossbody, I lengthened it as much as possible and I would have mentioned extra length on the strap if I had seen any. If you look at the pics above, when it’s worn cross body, it’s at its longest length with very little room at the end of the strap. And, it’s only adjustable from one side. IMO, this is a runway bag, and the strap length indicates Hermes did not intend this bag to be worn crossbody or long shoulder.

It is also structured, and definitely not expandable without risking ruining the shape. I would not consider this anything like the old massai (which was relaxed and I recall had two straps) in terms of versatility or function.

I just saw this bag on H.com this afternoon. Looks like it’s still available to order. Interesting style.

I noticed too! Been curious about this style but if it’s stiff and a narrow opening and wider at the base, can see in function it may be annoying. Love the esthetic though

I'm shocked that it's still available (link if anyone cares)! The bots don't care about this?

The holes on the adjustable strap are numbered!

I bet it imitates the stirrup leathers (the pieces of leather that attach stirrups to the saddle and regulate their length). The holes on them are often numbered so one can make sure the stirrups are the same length on both sides (and to set it to the correct length easily if multiple people use the same saddle).

I can see the saddle flap reference. It’s kind of cool. If they make one in smooth Barenia, I will be tempted.

If the Swift/Toile version is US$5800. I wonder how much the full leather versions are going to be? 😭 Specifically the barenia faubourg version!

Thanks!

So likely this is to be a true hobo style of another crossbody type. Definitely makes it very interesting for me!

I was shown three full leather Arcon in Paris earlier this month and I was surprised at how low the price was. IIRC it was less than 4000 euro.

Has anyone seen the mini arcon?

I was just in this week, my SA (who’s in leather) wanted to show me the new bags (couldn’t say no to that 😃) - I asked her actually bc I would like to see it too, and she said she hasn’t seen the mini yet FWIW

Hermes photo of the mini version for people who haven’t seen it. I must have saved this from SNS somewhere but sadly do not remember where exactly from (probably a RED post)
