Hermès Sac Mallette 27cm Black Shiny Croc GHW - Vintage
The Hermès Sac Mallette 27cm is a rare and highly collectible vintage handbag with its origins dating back to the 1950's. The name “Mallette,” meaning “small suitcase” in French, refers to its structured, briefcase-like silhouette and practical compartmentalised interior and it is often referred to as a "doctor's bag" because of this.
The primary compartment, spacious and lined with Rouge H Chevre leather, includes two pockets to secure your essentials, the top opens with two elegant snap locks. Meanwhile, the second compartment, tucked at the base, has a Rouge H Grosgrain lining accompanied by a luxurious velveteen pillow and opens with a double lever clasp and pinch lock closures.
The Sac Mallette's iconic design and historical significance were spotlighted in the V&A's "Bags: Inside Out" exhibition, a testament to its enduring allure and the intrigue surrounding luxury handbags. Its presence in this renowned exhibition underscores its status as a symbol of style and sophistication.
Measuring 27cm x 24cm x 13cm, its dimensions make it a versatile companion for any occasion. While its edges bear very light scratches and the hardware and feet show signs of oxidation, these subtle marks of time only add to its vintage charm.
