This Hermès shoulder bag was found in a home that my parents own. I would like to know the style, and year of the bag. I believe the color may be Ciel? It doesn’t appear to have been used. There aren’t scuff marks or wear marks on the strap and the hardware is beautiful and shiny. But I can’t seem to find a bag like it anywhere! Can someone tell me about it please?

I’m not familiar with this bag and I’m not convinced it’s authentic.

Just because it appears to say so doesn’t mean it is; if it’s a question of authenticity alone you can do no better than contacting a reputable authenticator. Many here, including me, rely on the excellent @bababebi for this purpose.
In addition, there is a wealth of information on Hermes bag styles available here in the reference library section of the forum, including a section on vintage bags. You might find it helpful to take a look there as a start. HTH!

May I ask why? Even the zipper inside says Hermès. What do I need to look for?
I don't know this design either BUT, although I am not a fan of the engraving and a few other things I cannot mention, it is detailed enough that, if not authentic, it seems like it would be a copy of an existing model. Not quite sure how to put this, but when fakers completely make up bags that never existed, they are usually wildly un-Hermès and don't get down to the level of detail. I think it is worth it to seek some level of authentication if you do not mind the fee.
 
Hi, not sure if this is the right place to ask. I was off TPF for a long time and previously was most active in the Bal forums which have different reference info. I've read a lot of the reference section here but couldn't get a sense of the answer. I typically buy new and am fairly new to Hermes, and due to the unpredictability of new stock right now have decided to look for a pre-owned Jypsière. This one caught my eye, but most listings on the Real Real seem not to have years or date codes listed. I'm curious if anyone give an approximate date range based on the Fjord leather and raisin color combination. Doing a search on TPF yielded results from up to about the mid 2010s but I wondered if anyone knows when the earliest/latest this could be from might be? Thank you!


Apologies if this is in the wrong place!

Thank you! It is helpful and I’ll ask over there as well! I inferred from some of the reference threads that Fjord was phased out at some point but couldn’t be sure if so or when since I also understand leathers come in and out of production?
Thank you!

I agree it looks more like Raisin, but TRR does think it is Cassis and given how photos can deceive that is worth considering.
