Product Description
This vintage Hermès Vespa MM in green Togo leather with gold-tone hardware offers an elegant yet practical choice for daily wear. In very good condition with light traces of use, it features a single flat shoulder strap, suede lining, and the model’s distinctive toggle closure. Ideal for city outings or adding a refined touch to everyday looks.
Q: What typically fits inside this Hermès Togo Vespa Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 32 × 31 × 9 cm, this bag is well suited to everyday essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and other daily items. It offers a practical medium size, but it is not intended for larger items like most laptops. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this Vespa bag be worn crossbody? A: This piece has a strap measurement of 44 cm, so it is generally best suited to shoulder wear rather than a long crossbody fit. How it sits can vary depending on your height and frame, so we recommend comparing the strap measurement with a bag you already own and like to wear.
Q: Is the Hermès Vespa a practical everyday bag? A: Yes. The Vespa is popular with collectors because it combines a lightweight shoulder-bag style with a secure closure and a roomy, easy-to-carry shape. This MM-sized version works especially well for day-to-day essentials while still offering a classic vintage Hermès look.

How it sits can vary depending on your height and frame, so we recommend comparing the strap measurement with a bag you already own and like to wear.
Q: What is Togo leather like? A: Togo is one of Hermès’ best-known grained calf leathers. It is appreciated for its textured finish, relatively good resistance to everyday scratches, and its ability to hold shape while still feeling supple. That makes it a popular choice for vintage Hermès bags intended for regular use.
Q: How does the Hermès Vespa close? A: This bag features the Vespa’s signature front toggle closure, finished here with gold-tone hardware. It gives the bag its distinctive equestrian-inspired look while keeping access to the interior quick and simple.
Q: Is the interior lined? A: Yes. According to the product information, this bag has a suede lining, which gives the interior a soft and refined finish typical of many vintage Hermès bags.
Q: Is this bag considered vintage? A: Yes. The serial stamp is listed as Square D, which corresponds to 2000, so this is a vintage Hermès piece from the early 2000s.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: The exterior is rated Very Good with light traces of use. The interior is also rated Very Good with light traces of use and a light vintage smell. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. As with all pre-owned items, small signs of wear are part of the character of the piece.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: This item includes a dust bag. Everything included with the purchase is listed in the product information, so if another accessory is not mentioned there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for vintage Togo leather and suede lining? A: We recommend gentle handling and storage away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight, and moisture. Clean the leather with a soft dry cloth, avoid harsh cleaning products, and store the bag in its dust bag when not in use. Light stuffing can help maintain the shape over time.
