🇫🇷 Hermès Blue Box Calf Sac À Malice Shoulder Bag (1989) (Bag of Tricks featuring Paris skyline, Eiffel Tower & France Flag)
Presenting an extremely rare and collectible vintage Hermès Sac À Malice shoulder bag, crafted in 1989. This striking piece is fashioned from smooth Box Calf leather in a vibrant blue (likely Bleu Cobalt or similar) and features a distinctive appliqué design celebrating Paris.
The front of the bag showcases a leather inlay of the French flag waving above the Paris skyline silhouette, which includes the iconic Eiffel Tower. This special edition is a true testament to Hermès’ artistry and connection to its Parisian heritage.
The bag features a structured, rectangular frame with a unique, angular gold-toned metal clasp closure. The interior is lined in a complementary blue leather and features a slip pocket. The attached thin leather strap allows it to be worn over the shoulder.
The vintage bag construction includes a rare detail: the grosgrain trim where the frame meets the leather is visible on the sides, and the Hermès blind stamp is visible in gold lettering on the interior.
