I have a Prune bag and it doesn’t look at all like Prune to me, but monitor colors vary.
Prune is a lovely word in French, and is a lovely color in Hermes.

that's really helpful--I'll continue my pondering! (it really does look like a gorgeous color . . . )

I love Hermès Prune and I also love the edible variety!

Looking for help identifying these Hermes gloves. My mom believes she's had them since the 1950s.

This is an exquisite pair of perfectly maintained agneau (lambskin) gloves. It’s a bit hard to date Hermès gloves since they don’t have many signature markings, however the packaging— if original— suggests that your mom’s guess is accurate. This packaging was mainly used from the early 1940s into the 60s. Another place you may find signature markings would be on the interior of the gloves. Two specific markings you may see are an Hermès brand stamp and a numeric sizing stamp. Both of these details have changed numerous times over the years and could further point to the age of this item.

Thank you kindly. I'll see if I can get a photo of the stamps.

Hi everyone- this is from a reseller in France. It looks like Barenia, but also the picture with the heat stamp don’t look like it’s from the same bag? Also, the color doesn’t looks quite barenia given this is an F stamp year? Would love your insights!

 

[nymeria]

The bag pictured does not look like Barenia to me ( NOT an expert).
Perhaps Box in gold?

Looks to be Chamonix.

I was thinking that too - but does Chamoix leather come with the blind heat stamp? I thought only barenia has it?

The stamp looks brown rather than blind to me

The picture with the heat stamp looks like Chamonix to me. The other photos could well be box. Pretty sure it's not the same bag though!

I don't think they are lamb but white doeskin which was the preferred choice then, I doubt they would have a name.

Ahhh so chamoix comes with a brown heat stamp?

That's exactly what I was thinking!
