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 Jypsiere 31? A: With approximate measurements of 31 × 25 × 13 cm, it comfortably holds an 11-inch tablet, long wallet, smartphone, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, and sunglasses. Capacity varies by how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes. The Jypsiere is designed for shoulder or crossbody wear and features an adjustable, detachable strap. On this item the strap drop is approximately 52 cm, with multiple buckle settings for a tailored fit.
Q: Will a 13-inch laptop fit in the Jypsiere 31? A: Typically no. The 31 is better suited to tablets and daily essentials. If you need to carry a laptop regularly, larger sizes such as the 34 or 37 are usually more appropriate.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: Very secure. The flap closes with a turn-lock and side straps, inspired by Hermès’ classic designs. It requires deliberate opening, which is helpful in busy settings and when travelling.
Q: What is Taurillon Clemence leather like? A: Taurillon Clemence is a full‑grain, pebbled calf leather known for its soft hand, visible grain and relaxed drape. It is durable and relatively resistant to surface scratches, with a naturally more supple, slightly weightier feel compared to some structured leathers.
Q: How should I care for Clemence leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow to dry naturally. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, oils, or direct sunlight/heat. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, inside its dust bag, and avoid hanging it by the strap when loaded to help maintain shape. For specialised care, Hermès after‑sales services can assist.
Q: What does the blind stamp Square R (2014) indicate? A: Hermès used a letter within a square for production years from 1997 to 2014; the letter R corresponds to 2014, indicating the year this piece was made.
Q: What is the interior layout of the Jypsiere 31? A: The interior is lined in tonal leather and features one zipped pocket and two slip pockets for easy organisation of smaller items.
Q: Is the Jypsiere considered unisex? A: Yes. Its clean lines, adjustable strap and practical messenger style make it a popular choice across genders.
Q: What is included in the product information for this item? A: This piece comes with a box, dust bag and detachable shoulder strap. Everything included is listed in the product information; if an item is not listed there, it is not included.
