Herve Leger Signature Bandage Dress (likely Icon or Ottoman style)
Herve Leger · Clothing & Accessories > Dresses
Era / Decade
2010s; based on the specific CA/RN numbers and the typography of the care tag.
Material
Heavyweight Bandage Knit: 90% Rayon, 9% Nylon, 1% Spandex. This 'bandage' blend is high-quality, offering significant compression and weight.
Condition
Good. There is visible brownish-yellow staining/discoloration on the care tag which may suggest improper storage or sweat/body oil contact. The fabric itself shows some minor fuzziness/pilling.
Demand Level
Moderate. While the peak 'bandage dress' trend has passed, Herve Leger remains a staple for cocktail parties and formal events.

Description
Authentic Herve Leger bandage dress in a rich burgundy/wine color. Features the iconic body-conforming ribbing and heavyweight stretch fabric designed to sculpt the silhouette. Size XS. Dry clean only. Note: Store flat to prevent stretching.
Key Features
Classic 'Bandage' construction, highly recognizable luxury aesthetic, desirable size (XS), and an elegant jewel-toned colorway that is popular for evening wear.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. The RN 80742 and CA 31586 match BCBG Max Azria Group (parent of Herve Leger). The font on the size circle and the specific fabric blend percentages are consistent with authentic garments from this era.
Flaws to Note
Significant staining on the interior care label. Minor pilling/surface wear on the ribbed fabric. Potential for 'hanger bumps' if it wasn't stored flat as instructed by the tag.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
The RealReal (for quick but lower payout), Poshmark or Vestiaire Collective (for higher margins).
Selling Tips
Always include a photo of the care tag to prove authenticity. Use keywords like 'Bodycon', 'Sculpting', 'Red Carpet', and 'Iconic Bandage'. Ensure the dress is photographed on a mannequin to show the silhouette, as these look 'small' on a flat surface.
