Q: How big is the Evelyne III 29 and how does it wear?
A: The Evelyne III 29 measures approximately 30 × 29 × 8 cm and is designed to be worn crossbody or on the shoulder. It features an adjustable, detachable canvas strap; on this piece the strap drop is about 46 cm, offering hands‑free comfort for most heights.
Q: What typically fits inside this size?
A: Daily essentials such as a long wallet, smartphone, keys, small cosmetics pouch, sunglasses case and a compact umbrella fit comfortably. An 11‑inch tablet (without a bulky case) generally fits; packing performance will vary with organiser use and how full the exterior slip pocket is.
Q: Will it take an A4 document or a 13‑inch laptop?
A: The 29 cm width is slightly short for A4 (29.7 cm) and most 13‑inch laptops, so these won’t fit flat. Slim tablets and notebooks up to around 11 inches are a better match for this size.
Q: Is the strap replaceable or adjustable for different heights?
A: Yes. The canvas strap is both adjustable and detachable; many owners replace or customise straps for length or comfort. For the closest colour and hardware match, consult Hermès; third‑party options exist but may vary in fit and finish.

A: The 29 cm width is slightly short for A4 (29.7 cm) and most 13‑inch laptops, so these won’t fit flat. Slim tablets and notebooks up to around 11 inches are a better match for this size.
Q: What are the differences between Evelyne I, II and III?
A: Evelyne I had no exterior pocket and a non‑adjustable strap. Evelyne II added an exterior back pocket. Evelyne III, like this piece, keeps the back pocket and introduces an adjustable strap for easier crossbody wear.
Q: Is the bag lined and does it have interior pockets?
A: The Evelyne is unlined with a soft, sueded interior. The III 29 has one exterior slip pocket and no interior pockets.
Q: Which way should the perforated H face when worn?
A: Historically, the perforated H was intended to face inwards towards the body for ventilation, with the leather tab closure facing out. Today many wear it with the H facing out; both are commonly seen—choose what suits your style.
Q: What is Clémence leather and how should I care for it?
A: Clémence (taurillon Clémence) is a supple, grained leather known for its soft hand, relaxed drape and slightly heavier feel. It can be resilient in daily use but may slouch and show corner wear over time. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoid heavy rain and oils, allow any moisture to air‑dry naturally, and store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape. Using a lightweight organiser can help distribute weight and reduce interior marks.
Q: Is the strap replaceable or adjustable for different heights?
A: Yes. The canvas strap is both adjustable and detachable; many owners replace or customise straps for length or comfort. For the closest colour and hardware match, consult Hermès; third‑party options exist but may vary in fit and finish.
Q: What does the Hermès date stamp mean on this bag?
A: Hermès uses discreet year stamps (often called blind stamps). Letters in a square denote 1997–2014 production (for example, a square C corresponds to 1999 and a square R corresponds to 2014). From 2015 onward the letter typically appears without a shape. Please refer to the product information on this page for the exact stamp on this piece.
Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, a detachable shoulder strap is included. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed in product information, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks across materials, stitching, heat stamps, hardware, blind stamps and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
