Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Hermès Massai PM? A: With approximate dimensions of 32 × 27 × 6 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and a tablet up to around 11 inches. The soft Clemence leather has a relaxed drape, so avoid overfilling to maintain its sleek profile.
Q: Will it fit A4 documents or a laptop? A: A4 paper (21 × 29.7 cm) does not fit upright due to the 27 cm height; you may place papers diagonally but the corners can brush the zip. A 13-inch laptop will not fit; slim tablets up to roughly 11 inches are a better match.
Q: Can the Massai PM be worn crossbody? A: The Massai PM is primarily designed for shoulder carry. This piece includes two interchangeable straps; the longer strap has an approximate drop of 33 cm, which sits comfortably on the shoulder and may sit quite high if worn crossbody, depending on your frame.
Q: How does the bag fasten and what is the interior like? A: It features a secure two-way zip top closure. Inside you’ll find beige herringbone canvas lining with one interior zipped pocket—ideal for small valuables and travel documents.
Q: What is Hermès Clemence leather and how does it wear? A: Clemence is a supple, pebbled calfskin known for its soft hand and slightly slouchy, relaxed look. It is relatively scratch‑resistant but a little heavier than some other Hermès leathers and will develop a beautiful patina with careful use. Corners and edges can show wear first on vintage pieces.
Q: How should I care for Clemence leather on a vintage bag? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth, keep away from oils and moisture, and allow any water to dry naturally—never with heat. Store the bag loosely stuffed in its dust bag, out of direct sunlight. Avoid heavy loads to minimise stretching and rotate straps to reduce localised wear.
Q: Is the Massai PM still in production? A: The original Massai was produced around the late 1990s/early 2000s and is now discontinued; later, the Massai Cut offered a slightly updated take. Today, Massai bags are mainly found on the pre‑loved market, which is why this model is considered a vintage find.
Q: What does the blind stamp Square D (2000) mean? A: Hermès uses a blind stamp system that includes a letter within a shape to indicate the year of manufacture. A letter D in a square corresponds to the year 2000. The stamp is typically accompanied by an artisan or workshop code and its placement can vary by model and year.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This bag comes with a dust bag, a detachable shoulder strap, and a dust bag for the strap. Everything included is listed under Accessories; if you need confirmation on anything specific, please contact us.
