Congrats! Per the video I linked above, it seems that a newer version of the Herbag comes in attachable straps. Does your's come with the straps or an attachable one?

Mine came with the strap attached. I think it can be removed but since I having a shoulder strap was one of the features I liked most about the herbag I didn’t attempt deconstructing it. Based on what I can see, the difference from the previous models is that the end of the metal rod which can be unscrewed is attached to a little ball chain threaded through the rod. I think it is more a safety measure to ensure that you don’t lose the screw-end should it get loose rather than something that is intended to prevent the strap to be removed - the ball chain looks like it can be unfastened
Here is a picture of the bag whilst in store and this is how it came with the handle and strap attached and wrapped in foil

I'm thinking of picking up a Herbag with black leather, black canvas and gold hardware or one with gold leather, gold canvas and gold hardware. But these two combos seems to be so hard to get. As this is my first Hermes purchase, I'm not sure if a SA would help me keep an eye out on itany tips anyone?
Just going back to what I said earlier - I called up the Hermes CS line for the UK today this afternoon - they checked stocks for me for another bag and they put me in touch with an SA as they luckily had it in stock.
You may get lucky to source it that way also build that relationship with an SA long term for other things you may have your eye on. I also found out the whole wish list aspect for the UK at least is currently closed - they just tell you if the bag you want is available for non quota and the colours they have via Hermes CS. Very handy service, just expect to wait a while is the only tip I have.
With the Herbag it may take time - I was on the hunt for one for at least a year solid as I was really particular about getting the coated canvas.
I wish you luck and please share when your successful

Thank you! I hope you'll be able to get the bag you want.
I'm based in the USA and the Hermes boutique in my city is currently only by appointments. I'm not in a rush to get one just yet, but I have noticed that the price of the Herbag has gone up.
Introducing my latest purchase, 31cm Herbag in magnolia and bleu saffir. I was looking for something lighter and less formal than my other bags, and as we’re still in lockdown hasn’t had much use, but so far it’s fulfilled my requirements. (I wore dress and heels to go to the dental hygienist the other day, just because it’s a trip out. I don’t think he noticed any of it, including my new handbag...).
That’s so awesome! lol those are my three favorite Chanel colors. ☺️
I have a Herbag and I think it's a cute casual little sister to the Kelly and a great entry level bag
I love mine. It a casual bag but still quite chic which fits well with my personal style, also very comfortable to carry - can be worn cross-body, on the shoulder, hand held and on the crook of elbow. The herbag fits a lot and is very light. Mine is still very new so I don’t know how durable they are - I don’t baby my bags (but I am generally fairly careful about my things and have owned many items for well over a decade) but based on the photos from ladies who have had theirs for a while, the herbags do hold pretty well. So if you like it I’d say definitely try it on and try it out 
I love my Herbag. I love how casual and understated it is but still chic and I loooove my color combination. I didn‘t took her out very often because of the pandemic but no problems with the canvas or the leather until now. What is a little bit annoying is the opening, but my SA showed me an way that makes it faster to open and close it (see my second picture).
