Valparaiso

An Hermès handbag in toile chevron canvas with calf leather trim and handles, catalogued under the Valparaiso name and indexed here mostly in the smaller size. Browns and oranges lead what we index. It is a canvas bag rather than a leather one, which is why it sits well below the house's leather handbags on price. Canvas and leather age at different rates on the same bag. The chevron weave picks up staining that cannot be cleaned out and abrades at the corners, while the leather trim darkens and dries at the handle folds. Check where the two are stitched together, since that seam takes the strain and the thread wears first.
