The Hermès Herbag Zip Retourne 31 in the “Circuit 24” Limited Edition is a highly collectible iteration of the house’s most accessible canvas handbag, featuring a graphic motif inspired by the house’s equestrian heritage. This specific model combines the functionality of the “Zip” design with the artistic “Circuit 24” pattern, which reinterprets the iconic Chaîne d’Ancre (anchor chain) into a stylized race-track motif.

Core Design & Material Construction

Canvas (H Plume): The main body is crafted from Ecru H Plume canvas, a lightweight yet sturdy cotton textile. The “Circuit 24” motif is embroidered or printed across the canvas in contrasting colors like Bleu Indigo (dark navy) and Rouge H (the house’s signature deep red).
Leather (Vache Hunter): The top flap, handle, and straps are made from Bleu Indigo Vache Hunter leather, a stiff cowhide known for its resilience and ability to maintain the bag’s structured top frame.
Motif & Detail: The “Circuit 24” design is a modern graphic take on the classic anchor chain, often appearing as bold, intersecting lines that create a dynamic “H” or circuit pattern.
Horseshoe Laqué Hardware: A distinctive feature of some limited editions, the Clou de Selle closure may feature a Rouge H lacquered finish on the metal, adding a pop of color to the traditional palladium or gold-plated hardware.

Specifications & Utility

Dimensions: Approximately 31 cm W x 25 cm H x 10 cm D (12.2″ x 9.8″ x 3.9″).
The “Zip” Features: Includes a rear exterior zippered pocket for quick access to essentials and a detachable interior pouch in matching canvas.
Carry Style: Features a single rolled top handle and a fixed shoulder/crossbody strap (approx. 18″ drop), though the strap is not adjustable.
Construction (Retourne): Sewn then turned inside out, resulting in softer, rounded edges compared to the sharp, external stitching of a Sellier model.
