I've already purchased an etoupe size 21 one from the online store and am waiting for it to arrive. hopefully it will work with my relatively petite frame cos im 5'3'' only 🙈
I’m 5’2”, and it’s my favorite bag (actually got it for DH, but I borrow it for travel :)
Exciting bc it has a decent sized exterior back pocket :)
I’m wearing it with my H sellier baseball jacket in a private slot canyon tour in Utah.

Just wanted to add, this is not a mini bag. It can hold quite a bit; it’s the perfect crossbody drop for me; and it lies relative,y flat against one’s body, unlike the mini Della cavalleria.

thanks so much! that's a great thing to know as I also have the mini Della and the strap length can be a bit tricky I think! can't wait to receive mine
 
Thought I’d share a snap of my freshly-SPA’d SaD 41 in Blue France Courchevel. It turned 25 years old this year so it gets to dress up. ✨🐴
This color is absolutely stunning. I love your bag charms. They are perfect accompaniments to this bag. What do you usually carry in the bag when you use it? Thanks for sharing these exquisite pics!
 
Hey all- anyone have an original design sac a depeche 38? Anyone with one care to share a "what fits in my bag" pic?

I do and prefer the square corners
it is divided, concertina-like, into two equal compartments
each 2"/5cm wide maximum
and to the front, created by an additional sheet of hide, a slot compartment ideal for single papers
I use one of the main compartments for wallet, spectacle case, pencil case and other sundries
The other compartment is used for documents, books, folders . . .IMG_0303.jpeg

you will be sent to burn in the fires of hell . . . or perhaps not . . . fascinating drawings

the dimensions for a MacBook/LapTop should not exceed 31.5cm/12.5" by 25cm/10"
although the compartments are actually wider than that, the sangles restrict the maximum width at the sides

Oh- I was wondering about the traditional sac a depeche (without sangles- just a tab in front), not the kelly depeche, that has the sangles. I wonder if they are the same size...
 
Hi Everyone! I'm new to this forum, and here because I've discovered the Sac a Depeches. I'm still in research mode, but I'm finding myself drawn to the 2-38 models.

Of course, there are many on eBay. I see a few I like, but of course I'm concerned about authenticity. Also, I suppose I could buy one new, but I wonder if that's impossible? Seems that, like many luxury brands, nothing is "in stock."

1. I have a Hermes retail store nearby. Should I drop by and see if they have any for me to view/buy?
2. I assume any eBay purchase is a risk. Should I avoid pre-owned altogether?

Thanks for any advice!
 
I just picked up this handsome Sac à Dépêches (2-38) from 1999.

It's in great condition overall, but it's been stored empty. I wonder if I can breathe some life back into its shape with storage pillows.

I see a lot of model-specific pillows for ladies handbags, but not so many for the Sac à Dépêches. Does anyone have advice on where to find storage pillors for this bag? Also, when storing the bag, do I store it upright or laying flat? I notice the top seems to slump in a bit when I do.

Thanks for any help/advice!
