This exceptionally rare and highly collectible Hermès Espace 42 Attaché Briefcase was crafted in lightweight anthracite carbon fiber with its natural cowhide leather handle. Its handle is gently patinated, very comfortable and in excellent condition. Produced as a limited edition of only 500 examples, the Espace briefcase represents one of Hermès’ most innovative ventures into technical materials, combining aerospace-inspired carbon fiber construction with the timeless craftsmanship of the Parisian maison. Similar examples are documented as part of the exclusive Hermès Espace collection, with individually numbered editions limited to 500 pieces. This one is embossed 26/500.

The sleek architectural silhouette is enhanced by brushed and gilt-tone hardware, dual locking closures. Near its handle, there is a little brass plaque on which you can have your initials engraved. It features a beautifully appointed natural leather-lined interior featuring a full-width document pocket beneath the lid, embossed Hermes Paris. The carbon fiber exterior offers remarkable durability while maintaining a refined, understated luxury aesthetic that remains distinctly Hermès.

An increasingly difficult model to source, the Espace briefcase appeals to collectors of rare Hermès travel goods, luxury executive accessories, and design enthusiasts drawn to the intersection of traditional leather craftsmanship and advanced materials. Complete with its original 2 Hermès keys and clochette.

Very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age and use; attractive patina to leather handle and minor surface marks commensurate with careful ownership.
