Similar to the Hermes Kelly, it is crafted by one highly trained artisan, and every piece of leather and hardware is greatly scrutinized to ensure perfection. The bag measures 15.75"W x 11.8"H x 8.25"D, and has a 6.5" handle drop. The bag is finished with palladium hardware, including the front toggle closure.

Throughout its history, the Hermes brand has been inspired by numerous style icons such as Princess Grace of Monaco and Jane Birkin, leading to the design of the most coveted handbags in the world, the Hermes Kelly and Birkin. From examining and cutting leather to hand-stitching and melding hardware, highly trained artisans craft each Hermes piece. Many of the Hermes craftsmen have studied at Paris' Ecole Gregoire-Ferrandi, and are required to pass various exams prior to constructing their first Hermes handbag, assuring that each bag is of the highest quality. The rich jewel toned Raisin color is a lovely neutral option for someone who does not wish to always carry black. It is incredibly hard to find, especially in this brand new, never carried condition.
