Hermés Special Edition John Paul Gaultier JPG Trim 28cm in Black Evergrain - SOLD

This is a 100% authentic Hermés Special Edition John Paul Gaultier JPG Trim 28cm in Black Evergrain with Shiny Palladium Hardware. 

A very limited piece designed by Creative Director John Paul Gaultier, this edgy Trim is something quite special in a number of ways!

A beautifully slim, supple and simple hobo style, reminiscent of the Gucci Jackie O, its crafted from a thick yet pliable, evenly grained 'Evergrain' calfskin inlaid with a stunning chain detail to each front corner curve.

Hermes Evergrain Leather
This beautiful leather is known as the embossed version of the ever-popular Evercalf leather. However, unlike other embossed leathers that can feel rough or stiff, Evergrain Leather has a softer feel that can be prone to scuffing thanks to its fine grain, however these can easily be removed by simply rubbing over of the fingers.

 Please read description below carefully though as she's a bit different from the norm......

Condition -  Very Good*

 Details -

Light to carry and easy to use, the open top has a lobster claw clasp that comes over to seal and the interior is fully lined in soft, smooth calfskin leather with slip pocket.

Deepest black in tone, its entirely colour consistent, without any marks, scratches or scrapes to the hide, just a few of the very, very lightest finger nail scuffs which are only just about visible if you angle the bag to view.

Immaculate trim and corners, the hardware is superb throughout and without the closest of inspections she shows almost no evidence of use.

Slight drying and wear to the inking (edge sealant) at the sides of the lower bases of shoulder straps, as commensurate with age. This has been shown in close up detail in the Gallery abaove, though to the naked eye this is very hard to see.

The interior is clean, displaying the inevitable light fingernail scuffs to the very finely grained calfskin lining. No flaking or detriment whatsoever.

The reason for the Condition Rating is due to the Shoulder Strap, as this has been altered from its original length. Professionally extended by a Leathersmith, (not Hermés) the strap has been cut and joined* half way over the 'Hermés Paris Made in France' stamping, (see above).

The Blind Stamp (Date Code) stamping at the end of the strap was discarded replaced piece.
