I am considering getting the same bag...just was wondering how you like it. Is it fussy to get in and out of? Does it easily lose it's shape? Thanks for your help!!

So far I’m loving it as my work bag! Although I like the look of the Sellier version and inverted my bag to try that out, after some time I still preferred the original Retourné style as the back pockets is really useful to take my commonly used items (such as lipstick, phone and wallet) and I like the Retourné look as well.

Initially the straps were a little hard to get in and out of and the closure needed some getting used to, but over time it became softer and easier to get in and out of. I hardly use the items in the main compartment though as I keep my commonly used items in the back pocket for easier access, so I don’t really find it fussy for daily use.

So far it hasn’t lost its shape as I use a bag organizer and it can still stand on its own without flopping over. The sides, however could puff out sometimes near the top so I’d press it in to keep the shape that I like. It’s a little hard to show the difference in photos but I’ll try and post a pic! The first picture is a little more puffed out than the second picture which to me, looks a bit sleeker.

Having said that, I still like this bag a lot and it hasn’t caused much trouble for me so far in terms of wearability and access to my items!

Hi! I realized that the vintage and new herbag have a different hardware engraving (smaller lozange in older models). I want to know if you bought your in a H boutique? I found a good herbag deal but I am afraid it’s a fake because the hardware is different from the new model! TYIA!

So sorry for this late post - hopefully you've found your answer by now. I'm not familiar with the updated hardware engraving? Mine was an eBay find from a seller in Japan, which I had authenticated before purchase. Is the "smaller lozange" referring to the diamond shape in the hardware? If so, mine does have those smaller lozange shapes in the hardware. Definitely try to get better pics if it's unclear. Best of luck!

Hi! Thank you for the reply :smile: after looking at many herbag indeed the diamond shape was smaller in the first version. After receiving my bag I am confident it is up to Hermes quality too which reassures me :smile: here’s the baby

Look at that Berline canvas :love: Enjoy your bag!

For those who have had the Herbag for sometime, I’m interested to find out how it’s holding up for you? Do share your thoughts.
Mine has been with me for 4 years and is holding up well in shape with some scratches on the leather flap. My most used H bag and it's now with me in London on a work trip.
