CITES compliance applies to this lot. Please see our Terms & Conditions.
First released in 1975, it has been decades since the Passe Guide bag has graced Hermes boutiques, until the bag's recent re-release. This particular Passe Guide is from the original time of production, making it very special. Known for its heavy hardware exterior, this bag is definitely for a bold, elegant look. In addition to its exterior look and feel, the Passe Guide is extremely sought after, due to its limited production. The exterior is done in Vert Olive Ostrich with one shoulder strap, an exterior slip pocket, Gold Hardware, and a flap tucks in to close. The interior is done in Vert Olive Agneau Leather with one zip pocket and one slip pocket.

This bag is in Very Good to Excellent Condition. The hardware shows minimal wear, and there is faint scuffing to the interior.
