Pre-owned Hermès Drag Bag | JoliCloset

The Hermès Drag is an archive piece designed by Robert Dumas in 1964 — years before the Birkin. Its name refers to Hermès's equestrian heritage (the "drag" is the pull on a rein) and reappears in the signature sliding-bar-through-ring closure. Rounded silhouette, structured side tabs and that distinctive metal link detail make the Drag instantly recognisable; Hermès brought it back in 2022 as the New Drag 22 shoulder bag. On JoliCloset every Hermès handbag — Drag included — is verified by our experts, with close to 9,900 Hermès pieces in the catalogue.

Sizes and variants

Two formats circulate on the pre-owned market. The Drag 32 is the historic version, produced from the 1960s: wide opening, prominent sliding tabs, gold-plated or palladium hardware. The New Drag 22, relaunched by Hermès in 2022, keeps the iconic closure in a smaller shoulder silhouette with a removable strap. Vintage pieces usually ship with their original chain; contemporary ones come with the detachable Hermès strap.

Leathers and materials

The Drag has been produced in several signature Hermès leathers. Veau Grain Lissé (VGL) — a glossy pressed calf, light and scratch-resistant — is strongly associated with 1970s–1990s Drags and was dropped by Hermès in 2003, making it a vintage marker. Box Calf, the maison's oldest leather, was used on the most structured Drags and develops a deep patina with time. Chèvre (goat), tough and light, and Epsom, grained and firmer, appear on more recent production. For a first pre-owned purchase, a well-kept Box Calf or a low-wear Epsom remain the most versatile.

Pre-owned price and value

Discontinued Hermès usually means scarcity: a vintage Drag 32 typically trades between €1,500 and €5,000 depending on condition, leather and hardware, while a recent New Drag 22 sits well above €8,000 second hand. The average Hermès piece on JoliCloset sits around €4,390 across all sub-categories. Buying a Drag pre-owned is the only reliable way to access the 32, which is no longer sold in boutique.

Every Drag listed on JoliCloset goes through our authentication team: workshop-stamp check (year letter + atelier code engraved in the leather), saddle-stitch seam inspection, hardware and leather quality assessment. Also explore the other Hermès icons: Kelly, Bolide, Constance and Evelyne.
