So what is everyone’s favorite Hermès bag? For me, I tend to lean towards a men’s briefcase style bag.
I love my CityNews Bag; however, i think my all-time favorite is my Etriviere II Meeting 38.
I will be getting a Sac A Depeche but i am debating between the light and the regular. The debate in my head is I’m wondering if i get the light the silhouette will be too similar to my Etriviere.
I owned the Cityback and the Vic 12H and decided to part ways with both because of functionality for the Cityback and overall aesthetic of the Vic. They just did not match me.
The CityNews is incredibly functional. Has the top handles, the strap that can be removed on one side and tucked into the bag, and it is extremely spacious yet sleek.

I’m simple. I’m a Birkin. I have two Barenia SaD 38s for those “dressier” moments or for a different look. A couple of Ks, an Evie and Bolide, but 9 times out of 10 will reach for a Birkin over anything else.
I think you may well find the SAD Light being too close to your Eriviere - other than the different closure and the rounded edges to the flap, they are incredibly similar.
Personally I feel the SAD gives a slightly more 'elegant' look than the more 'casual' Etriviere, but both are beautiful! I'm not a huge fan of the classic SAD personally, as it feels a little too 'retro' for my style, but of course we're all different in that respect
My personal favourite is my HAC 40 Togo/Felt. It's not super practical, but it really does get my heart beating and sometimes, that to me is more important than practicality! I've still managed to navigate London transport in rush hour with it, so although overkill for day to day, I can make it work and feel $1m sporting it!
As far as briefcases go, I am a fan of the classic Sac a Depeches. But that style of bag does not fit my lifestyle anymore (I work in a much more relaxed environment now and the SaD is too formal). I just purchased a Serviette 57 bag to replace it (I will carry it as a clutch for a more casual look).
For travel/weekender bags, I love my Bolide 45. It is so elegant and yet discreet. The sikkim leather is light and luscious.
I am not a big fan of the shoulder/messenger style. I have an Evelyne III GM, which I use when I need to have free hands. I considered buying a Steve, a Jypsiere, or a Halzan but I don't really use such bags all that often so they are not at the top of my list right now.

@Louis74 Have you seen any modelling pictures men wearing Halzan?
This is beautiful!

For me it's kelly ad, birkin/HAC, I also like all the etrivière with the front belt bags.
I am also not a fan of a pure messenger bag. I like having a shoulder strap sometimes but i also need top handles.
I may go the normal SaD route since the light would be very similar to my Etriviere.
Thanks for the comments/ advice !
My most favorite bag is the Plume Fourre-Tout. I really like the lines and proportions.
I just don’t have it yet lol.
I am also obsessed with the Cityback coz I know I won’t be able to use that Plume everyday, if ever I have one. I’m often on my bike and I need a backpack. I don’t like carrying messenger-style bags when I’m on my bike.
That photo of the Plume looks stunning being carried by that gloved hand.....all that smooth leather together. And is that leather on the edge of the coat sleeve?
