HERMÈS EPSOM BEARN BIFOLD WALLET Condition: 9.5/10 - Grade: A Color: ETOUPE (Grayish-Tan Finish) Hermès Date Stamp: M11A (Square M = 2009) (Protective Box and Dust Cover are included) The Epsom leather finish on the Hermès Bearn wallet is highly regarded for its exceptional durability, making it a "workhorse" material for everyday use. Unlike natural grain leathers, Epsom is a heat-pressed, embossed calfskin with a rigid structure and a distinctive cross-hatch pattern.  • Scratch Resistance: The embossed, coated surface is one of the most scratch-resistant finishes offered by Hermès. It effectively wards off everyday nicks from keys or jewelry. • Shape Retention: Because the leather fibers are compacted during the embossing process, it is inherently stiff and rigid. A Bearn wallet in Epsom will maintain its architectural shape and crisp lines for years without slouching or sagging. • Water and Stain Resistance: It is highly resistant to water and moisture; raindrops or minor spills often bead off and can be wiped away easily without staining. • Easy Maintenance: It is considered "no-fuss" leather. For routine cleaning, a simple wipe with a dry or slightly damp lint-free microfiber cloth is usually sufficient.  Disclaimer: The images serve as an acknowledgement of understanding on the overall condition of the item being purchased.
