Hermes Herbag Questions, Please.

#691
I have a rather dumb question about HER bag.
It was my first time getting a HER bag and I only saw a tag in the pocket saying where its made but it doesnt have any stamping or anything like other leather bags... just out of curiosity( not that I want to resell later) how are HER bags authenticated??
I mean bags like Chanel and such have their Authentic card and numbers...

The Herbag should have a stamp in the leather with the letters. In mine it is below the cilinder piece that closes it.

How do you find getting in and out of the bag? I cannot get my head round all that pulling, don't know whether I am doing anything wrong....

This isn't really a question, but have ladies "pulled" your herbag zip apart? I have and have posted the same photo on "Your Hermes in Action" thread, but I'll post it on here for convenience.

I don't know why H decides to NOT let us have interchangeable canvases. I'm quite sad about. After pulling it apart, I tried to turn it inside out, because I read that some people did this with the old one. Again, to no avail. It's quite stiff to turn inside out.

So my question is... what is the point of keeping the engineering side of things when we can't even change the canvases. :sad: Easier to clean for them, perhaps. STILL. Maybe I should sew up a few canvas bodies and interchange them! :biggrin:

Was it easy to put them back together?
I am thinking of pulling my long strap out to try new look...but wasnt sure if should..

I have posted this on "ur latest H purchases" but wanted to ask some thoughts on this bag!

So I was very specific about wanting black on black for quite some time.
I had to pass a few black on black as they had scratches for the past few I saw, and I got a call from SA yesterday that there was new black on black with new fabric. (thought this one isnt completely back as I wished...)
Its canvas coasted with something I am not sure. So photo below is on its way to me, I should have it by tonight when I get off from work.

Anyone used this fabric/ or seen? Love or hate???
ANY comments are welcome!!

Oooh! This is very interesting! I like it but I'd be worried about the coating too. It's very cool [emoji41] though!

The stamp is on the underside of the leather flap on the back of the bag.

It takes a bit of time to get used to it sort of like the Kelly. If I'm in a hurry I just put one strap in and leave the other one out.

My S.A. told me this was waxed canvas!

Wow! I wished that fabric came out when I bought mines. I have the chocolate top in navy canvas. That fabric might be better than canvas and won't penetrate dirt since it's waxed. Liquid would probably just bead off. Black on black with that fabric is gorgeous! It has a shine to it. I hope this is the one for you!

Yes, the waxed fabric is a very special addition and I want it for my herbag too. You are supposed to be able to order replacement 'sacs' in different colours etc.
I wouldn't worry about the wax wearing off - waxed canvas is usually pretty tough and it should be possible to 'feed' the wax with a supporting coat just like with Barbour jackets and other waxed canvas high-end goods. Maybe take advice on maintenance from the store? It will wear down a bit but it will acquire a patina which some amongst us might find very attractive! In my experience the corners on the plain canvas sacs are susceptible to wear so any extra barrier is a great idea to give your bag longevity.

It just popped up at hermes.com european site like 8 hours before....
Amazing new colours like Rouge Grenat, Zanzibar, trench(?), and moutarde(?), rose azalea

I d say it's relatively easier to find than other bags... just need a lot of stalking and they are put on shelf at store quite frequently... just need the right timing... good luck!
