Yale Briefcase?

[FrenchNewbie]

Hey fellow tpf'ers.

Most of my briefcases are from LV, but I recently decided to browse for Hermes professional bags. I came across this beauty (the design, not the condion ), and it caught my eye. I searched the whole forum and didn't see a single thread mentioning this briefcase.

Has anyone heard of this/owned it? Is this even the correct name?

Anyone?

Those luggages were produced around 2005-2007 by the designer François Azambourg in collaboration with Hermès, it was called the "Herlight" collection and came in various sizes...I've never seen the "Yale" reference before, so not sure where it came from...

I've unfortunately never seen one in real life, so cannot really say anything more I'm afraid...

Thanks so much...appreciate the knowledge and time you took out to answer.

What's interesting is how this is marketed "a collaboration between Azambourg and Hermes"...is this a full-fledged Hermes product, or is it badge engineering (i.e. someone else designs/crafts the product and Hermes stamps their name on it)
