It has a back pocket, the strap is removable as well. This SA is pretty short, my SA said, and I am taller, so I am not sure how small it might look on me! My SO also came in, so I will see this and get that one too. Looking forward to seeing something TOTALLY different!
Just adding the official H.com photos since I realized we never added them in this thread. It shows the detachable strap hardware and the back pocket.
Personally I still quite like this bag, but I'm still not a fan of its price tag...and I am beginning to wonder if the handles sticking up will be annoying to me when I wear it crossbody. Would love to check it out IRL though!

Congrats on the SO!! Please take pics!
Thanks for posting these! This is a very cool bag!
I really like this bag but I wish it was bigger the proportions of it just seem too 'boxy' to my eyes.
And I hate the padlock its a bit pointless and I agree with an earlier poster about the contrast stitching being a bit overwhelming on a smallish bag.
The original Drag was definitely chicer
But in a few years time when they start appearing pre-loved I would definitely consider getting one.
I especially like the back pocket, so useful for travel cards (I'm a commuter) and phone.
(I so wish the Jypsiere had a back pocket-then I'd use mine a lot more.)

Back pocket is such a useful feature!! It’s why I am thinking about a Roulis & why I enjoy the Constance wallet to go (both have an exterior back pocket) and why I debated an Ostrich C18 even though I’m not a fan of Ostrich (exotics Constance has a back pocket unlike regular leather).
I also see what you mean regarding the proportion - the old Drags which are larger & without shoulder strap look great. I think this time Hermes considered the small bag trend and added a shoulder strap for utility, and while I love both things (small bag and the shoulder strap option) I can see the pros for the previous versions over this one (and you can find them preloved right now).
I totally agree with you! I had actually included this bag in my wish list for this year until I found out that it is in 22. I think a 25/26 would be nice but I would love a 30/32. The original Drag came in various sizes - and so I will wait for H to come up with bigger size Drag. I thought of getting a vintage one but vintage Drags did not have back pockets (and I love anything back pocket!). Also, the new Drag has detachable straps, which I like. I know that some of us do not care with the new "lock" look but I think this is easier to get into than the vintage version and so more practical, I think. A dream Drag for me would be in the current look but bigger and in Rouge H, smooth leather but I don't mind Allegrato or Novillo.
I really like this bag but I'm not sure whether it will be practical for me. The Mini Lindy is currently my most used H bag. This has some similarities (crossbody, external pocket, ability to be hand carried) but that bag handle has me a bit puzzled as to how it will lay on my body when worn with the strap.
@TraceySH interested in your thoughts (and pictures) when you go in to see it!

For sure! Will let you know. Appt is Friday
Hi! Ok it was TINY. It's definitely a mini bag. For me, not practical at all. It's pretty, and of course well made, but I wouldn't consider it unless it was in a larger size, which apparently is in the works??? It didn't seem like the size of a bag that deserved these long handles, like one would not need such handles for that size of a bag. Maybe just a shoulder strap. I am also 5'9" though, so things that look normal on some people look like toys on me
I took a look at it today and it was so fresh, cute and classy! I prefer it without the strap, but it's nice that it's detachable. Definitely on my maybe list.
