While you can technically dismantle a Herbag Zip, it's not necessarily a design intention to do so in terms of removing the canvas + putting it in the wash. Are you most interested in a lighter coloured bag (which would get marked more easily)? Otherwise, the canvas is pretty tough - I use my Herbag as a cross-body during my 45min walks to/from work come rain or shine, mud or sweat etc! It's great if you want a casual, sturdy bag, with nice lines!
Hi there - I'm sure you've got a good chance of getting a Herbag [rather than a C/K/B] in Paris - you could try ask in the Paris bags thread if anyone has seen much in-store recently? I don't think purchase history is a big factor in this respect, and the bag quota seems to be C/K/B (maybe L?) focused. If you establish a good rapport with your SA
, who knows what you're able to get! Good luck!
