The story

A structured top-handle bag inspired by a carpenter's toolbox, with a metal frame along the opening, a single rolled handle and a detachable shoulder strap.

Hermès stopped making it around 2021, so every one on the market is pre-owned.

Discontinued has not meant scarce here: the 20 sells about every two weeks on eBay at roughly half its last boutique price.

The 20 is the size collectors prefer and it holds up better than the 26.

Our verdict: Discontinued, steady and well below its last retail. A value buy, not a collectible yet.
