Hermès Hermés Chennai MM Tote Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès Chennai MM Tote Bag?
A: With measurements of approximately 33 x 22 x 15 cm, this is a practical medium-sized tote for daily essentials. It will comfortably hold items such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch, and a small water bottle, with room for a slim tablet or compact umbrella depending on how you pack.

Q: Will this bag fit a laptop?
A: It is better suited to a tablet, small notebook, or other compact daily items than to most modern 13-inch laptops. As laptop dimensions vary, we recommend comparing your device directly with the Measurements listed on this page before purchasing.

Q: Can it be carried comfortably on the shoulder?
A: Yes. This piece has dual flat shoulder straps with an approximately 24 cm handle drop, which generally allows for comfortable shoulder carry, especially with light everyday wear.

Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap or full zip closure?
A: No detachable shoulder strap is included with this item. This Chennai MM is designed as an easy-access tote, so it is best suited to everyday use rather than situations where you want a fully zipped or highly secure bag.

Q: What does the Square M stamp mean?
A: Square M is a Hermès blind stamp that dates this bag to 2009. On Hermès bags, the blind stamp is an important point of reference for identifying the production year alongside other authenticity markers.

Q: What product information is included with this item?
A: This bag includes a dust bag. Everything included with the item is listed in the product information section on this page.

Q: How should I care for the interwoven fabric and leather construction?
A: We recommend gentle handling. Avoid prolonged exposure to rain, direct sunlight, and rough surfaces, and take care around dark denim or strongly dyed fabrics that may transfer colour. For routine upkeep, wipe the bag lightly with a soft dry cloth and store it in its dust bag with light stuffing to help maintain its shape.

Q: What is the condition of this specific bag?
A: This piece is in very good vintage condition with light overall traces of use. The leather trim shows some scuffing and wear, the interior has light signs of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.

Q: How do you authenticate this Hermès bag?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted for authenticity by examining details such as materials, construction, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of the items we sell.
