Here are a few more of my discontinued H bag collection

Gold Clemence Gao bag... under the radar bag but also very roomy and very easy to carry.


This is the bleu de prusse good news bag. I bought this over ten years ago when I still had a toddler and an infant. It’s casual and fit my lifestyle at that time.


tsako indigo bag which ended up getting much more use than the good news when my kids were younger. Since it doesn’t have a zipper, it was easy to get things in and out of it.

These two are my raisin Togo Atlas bag and chocolate Togo Caravas bag. The Atlas fits a lot but it does get very heavy. The Caravas bag is one of my favorite bags as it reminds me of the bolide with pockets. It has longer straps so it can be carried as a shoulder bag.


Next is a very floppy black swift Massai bag and the very structured 35cm rougeH sac en vie. The massai has taken a lot of abuse over the years but surprisingly swift has held up pretty well.

Finally this is the bleu de galice sac oxer bag which is great travel bag. I love that it can be carried 3 different ways which makes it so versatile.
Not sure if this would qualify as discontinued since the herbag is still around but since vibrato has been discontinued, I might as well add it too. I really love vibrato since it is so different and I still can’t imagine how hard it must have been to create this leather. I love this bag in particular because of the vibrato/barenia combination.

I think that rounds up my discontinued bag collection. This thread has inspired me to take them out more often and use them!

I would say its capacity is half of a birkin 25 or a kelly 28. I can fit a long wallet, a small make up pouch, a sunglasses case, and a smart phone. There is an old style cell phone pouch that is rigid, so you may need to make some adjustment. It is roomy compared to the mini bags these days.

It sounds like a good everyday bag. I don't carry a lot so this is the perfect size! Thank you so much for sharing! Now the hunt begins...

Just wanted to say thank you @maxroxxherhandbags for starting this thread and thank you @jp824 for sharing so many beautiful discontinued bags. It’s given me lots of ideas for bags to hunt for and a better idea of how some I’ve spotted on resale sites look in real life. That Oxer in particular looks gorgeous

Discontinued in this size (25) but the '1938' has been reissued in smaller recently

This is my favourite H clutch bar none (or until I acquire a Verou or Medor 29) no hardware means doesn't matter whether I'm wearing white metal or gold:

Gorgeous perfection!

Your clutch is so beautiful! simple, and elegant, I love that it has no hardware so different metals can be worn. I hope to find this clutch one day, if not, I would be ok with a jige Elan 29 clutch.

Agreed! I own a Rouge vif trim, which I love!

I love the Vespa! I wish Hermes brought this back!

Beautiful!

The Market GM size is Ardennes or clemence is on my wishlist. I hope i can find one in good condition someday.

Me too, very interesting info on the 1938 clutch!

I have a Massai Cut 32 that has been a great travel companion:

Your Massai Cut 32 looks great on you crossbody!

The Caravas looks like a cousin of the Paris Bombay almost?
I'm tempted to look out for a Gao I love the shape!
The Massai and Rouge H Sac en vie I'm salivating!!! utterly exquisite
I wish they would resurrect these styles-or maybe not...I'd be bankrupt

Oh my!!! the Oxer !
Is vibrato leather? I had no idea-never having seen one IRL I thought it was fabric or like Amazonia.
This is fascinating !
I wish I could spend a day in a Hermes archive and just see and touch all the different bags-like a petting zoo!

I think the Caravas looks more like a bolide. I took a picture of the Caravas with my bolide for comparison.
I have seen Gao bags from time to time that are priced very well so definitely keep a look out for one. It is such a comfortable bag to use!

Yes, vibrato is basically stacked leather sliced across. Bag Hag had a good description of how vibrato is made in the link below. Also here is a close up picture where you can see the stacking of layers and layers of leather. I would love to add a vibrato kelly or birkin to my collection but I always seem to miss out.

Gosh! thats amazing I'm sure I saw a vibrato kelly on a preloved site if I find it I'llPM you.
and yes-the Caravas is just like a Bolide I couldn't see the shape before-I think the pockets make it much more practical though.

I have seen a few Facos around new and preloved (I was offered one at H but thought it too close to the '1938'). Looks like a 1940s design(?). They also have no hardware. But yes, the Jige is always going to be useful.

Leaving this here, from an archive pic for you that @miyake0214 posted many moon ago (photo credit Malleries). Perhaps someone here has one too, but there are more of these.

I have a black box Faco like the one you posted as well as the porc below. I love them both.
