How to choose a pre-owned Herm\u00e8s bag at Francine Joaillerie<\/h2>\n

A pre-owned Herm\u00e8s bag<\/strong> is one of the safest luxury purchases there is, on one condition: authenticity. At Francine Joaillerie, every Herm\u00e8s bag is examined before going on sale: leather and saddlery inspection, stitching, hardware, blind stamp and finishing checks. Our bags come with a certificate of authenticity.<\/p>\n

The choice then comes down to three criteria: the model (hand-carried, shoulder or crossbody), the size (Birkin and Kelly come in several dimensions) and the leather, which determines structure and patina. Timeless colours such as gold, \u00e9toupe and black outlast every trend.<\/p>\n

Herm\u00e8s, the saddler that became a legend<\/h2>\n

Founded in Paris in 1837 as a harness and saddle workshop, Herm\u00e8s has kept from its equestrian origins an unrivalled artisanal mastery of leather: each bag is assembled by hand by a single craftsman. That standard, combined with deliberately limited production and famous waiting lists, is why Birkin, Kelly and Constance are handed down and fought over on the second-hand market.<\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n
How can you tell a genuine Herm\u00e8s bag?<\/summary>

Regular saddle stitching, first-quality leather, dense and crisply engraved hardware, a discreet blind stamp, flawless finishing down to the lining: authentication takes a trained eye. Our experts inspect every bag before it goes on sale.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n

Which Herm\u00e8s leather for daily use?<\/summary>

Grained leathers such as Togo and Epsom resist scratches well and suit regular wear. Smooth leathers like Box are more delicate but develop a sought-after patina.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n
