Show your Discontinued Hermes bags

[maxroxxherhandbags]

There are so many beautiful now discontinued Vintage Hermes bag design.
Paris Bombay,The Ile De Shiki,Passe Guide,Massai,The original Drag,Ring,Initiale, Convoyeur, etc etc (apologies for any mis-spellings!)
I would love to see these bags mentioned (and others!) all in one section.
I'm too new to post an 'ODE TO" so I'd love it if members could show their under the radar vintage beauties here and maybe say why they love them and if they still use them.
Or if you had one and sold it what made you let it go? any regrets?

I’ll start: So Kelly 22 - love it! It is more under the radar than the Kelly, and both laid back, chic and very easy to use. I can fit my A4 size inside in a pinch, and it has inside pockets from where I can easily reach my phone.

That's a great bag and looks amazing on you! You can extend the strap and make it a crossbody, yes?

Here are my 2 HACs 32, Box from 1994 and Barenia from 2003. I much prefer the HAC 32 to the Birkin, as it's the perfect size for me. I so wish they would be produced again!

Thank you

Yes, I guess it can be made a cross-body, though I have never done that. I am short (160 cm), and the hobo-style under the arm works well for me.

Looks perfect on you, this is definitely your bag

I would love a larger PB, sooooo elegant

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:

I'm going to call this discontinued only otherwise were overlapping on the the other vintage threads.

Thank you very much - what a nice thing to say

It seems that the shoulder/hobo-style is a little neglected by H these days, but the So Kelly, the Massai and the Marwari are all great shoulder bags in my opinion. I am baffled that they are not brought back. The Trim they did bring back is back in a less useful iteration - too small, and the long strap seems out of proportion. No, give me the oldies any day

It seems that hobos have taken a back seat generally lately. 10 years ago people were calling small, structured bags 'mature' or even 'granny bags', obviously granny was very chic.

Historically, unstructured and casual bags were often something that H struggled with. But your SO Kelly looks fresh and charming, expect a revival soon!

Here's the Market, which is just about the most perfectly proportioned bucket bag out there.

I had a Market, loved that it wasn’t round on the bottom like Vuitton Noe, but hugged closer to your body. I sold it, wasn’t a fan of the epsom leather, but I’d buy another in a heartbeat, in a preferred leather. I miss that bag...
