Dear all, I just was offered a Sac Fourre Tout, quite outdated since discontinued in 2006. But is that a vintage must have bag or rather unpopular? Thank you.
I actually have this bag in the small size (I always think my bag is aToto but its not its the Fourre Tout) I brought it on the spur of the moment preloved from a friend back early last year and I have surprised myself by using it almost daily since the start of the pandemic.
I have many beautiful leather bags but in the present time this bag is my go-to.
It holds a ton despite its small size
It never gets heavy despite carrying Kindle,wallet,2 phones cosmetic bag and other 'stuff' with me.
I can find things easily in it but it still feels secure even when I dont fasten the top stud closure because the interior zipped compartment is large enough to put my wallet and keys in.
Its great given the current situation with the pandemic having a bag I needn't worry about if I spill sanitiser on it or when I have sanitiser on my hands which would damage handles of a leather bag.
Did I buy the bag because I loved the style and it was on my wishlist?
No.
As I stated my friend knowing I was a Hermes fan offered it to me at a good price because she wasn't using it But I Love it its so practical and super strong and sturdy AND you can wash it.
I'd say buy it
In answer to your question I wouldn't call it a vintage must have bag BUT its a very practical and Exceptionally well made bag as one would expect from Hermes.
I personally dont buy bags because they are popular or 'must have'....quite the opposite in fact
I appreciate quality and good design and the Fourre Tout definitely has that in spades.
