This bag is done in Jaune de Naples Epsom Leather with Gold Hardware, featuring two rolled handles and a flap top with a turnlock closure. The interior is done in Jaune de Naples Chevre Leather, featuring one zip pocket and one slip pocket. This bag includes two keys, a lock, and a clochette.

There is heavy scratching to the hardware and base feet together with rubbing, darkening, and dark marks to the leather throughout. The top and base corners, edges, sides, and handles also show heavy darkening and rubbing with additional light rubbing to the resin along the top edges and to the touret hole as well as similar rubbing, scuffing, and darkening to the clochette. There also a small puncture mark at the stitching around the right pontet hole and a pulled thread near the bottom right foot. The interior shows deep creases to the leather at either side and some faint marks to the inside of the slip pocket and base. Additionally, this bag appears to have been retouched with a slightly brighter color in a few places. This bag includes an Hermès dustbag and clochette dustbag.
