The story

The Plume is one of the oldest Hermès bag designs, a light zipped tote first made in 1907 and recut over the decades.

The 28 is a flat, structured shape with two handles and leather piping on the edges.

It is rarely offered new, yet it rarely changes hands on eBay either: three recorded sales in the last year.

Resale sits well below the boutique price, so it is a quiet buy for people who know it rather than a bag that trades.

Our verdict: A historic, understated tote. Thin market, deep discount to retail.
