I have literally just bought a Herbag after deliberating which new bag to get for some while. Here are the plus points, in my humble opinion: It’s a sporty, chic but casual bag, pretty light and fairly easy to carry. It’s fairly reasonably priced (for H that is...). You can remove the canvas part and dry clean it, which is useful. The sangles are significantly easier to use than a Kelly. It’s understated.
So far, so good. On the flip side however: in the UK, they aren’t that easy to get on H.com so you’ll need to navigate getting one from a boutique. While they are beautifully made, they don’t look like a £2k bag. The Hunter leather is very stiff, and in paler colours will show marks - whether this is good or bad is personal preference. The relative lack of structure could find you scrabbling fr the thing you need from the bottom of the bag. The flat handles aren’t as comfortable to use as a rounded handle.
Think that’s all, on balance I’m happy with it. Here’s mine in magnolia and bleu saffir.
