Hello, I’m new here and just received my vintage herbag. It’s in a little rougher condition than I thought, anyone have success on cleaning the beige canvas part? Mine does come apart, so thinking of soaking it with some mild soap/oxi clean? My first attempt at cleaning with soapy warm water and a soft brush did not help. Thanks so much and I look forward to reading about everyone’s purse journeys!

I haven't done this myself, but I have heard many people have good success with getting the canvas dry cleaned. Hope this helps and would love to see before and after pics!

Ahhh I'm hoping to get this exact herbag this summer for my birthday... How did you manage to get it? Is it easy to get in stores? Love it ☺
Honestly I have no idea how easy to get a herbag these days. I am eyeing for the coated canvas one, but not keen with the pocket color. I don’t think it’s carefree bag, especially at the back when it rub with your clothes. I am just aiming for all black, and really surprised my SA told me he has in gold hardware. Try to contact your SA. I hope you can score one too. :graucho:

Hello! I have the possibility to purchase this canvas coated red herbag, it's from 2021. I honestly don't know the regular prices of an herbag or if this one is higher in price as the regular ones. Looks to be a special edition as the hardware comes in red? It's the 31 berline canvas. The price would be EUR 2.900 on the personal shoppers website. It's in very good condition. Worn like twice. Comes with dustbag and box. I'm a totally newbie when it's about Hermes bags. What do you think?

This looks lovely. I love Herbag in sellier construction.

From my research back in Feb,
Herbag all black is USD2975
Herbag other colours, non-coated canvas is USD2675

I got the prices from the H USA website, not sure if tax is inclusive or not. Hope it helps.

In his YouTube videos, I am GPS talks about sending his Herbag canvas body to the dry cleaners with most excellent results.

Also, the former Hermès craftsperson, @MademoiselleM.Atelier on Instagram might be a good resource. She rejuvenates all kinds of luxury bags and has shown reels of her cleaning dirty bags. Good luck!

I purchased this exact bag from H.com USA site last month. $3050 before tax.

Sorry I'm not familiar with the American way of putting taxes. Does that mean you see the prices online and when your checking out your shopping cart, there is a certain amount of taxes coming on top of the price shown in the online shop? Or do you mean customs duties in case you ship it to EU or out of US.

For me: The price I mentioned would be the final price. I absolutely have no idea if this is to much or the good price I just fell in love and don't know, if it's an good investment. If the herbags are growing as well in price or if I would lose money let's say I would sell it in 5 years or so ‍♀️
 
Wow she’s so stunning. Congratulations on your new beauty.
May I ask how much you paid for the bag? The prints are probably cost more than plain canvases right?
I have been going to my home boutique in Zurich quite often last month, they don’t have any bag to sell, stocks are very low . Or maybe just because I’m new to this boutique.
Thank you :) price for the print canvas was around €2400 (both bdg and pégasus), while the plain canvases starting from €1900 at the time of my purchase. I hope you will be able to get one soon, but it really depends on the stock at the store you choose .

Sales tax is added during the check out process. It'll vary depending on which City/State you live in. It could be between 6-10%. In the City I live in it's 7.75%. A couple of neighboring Cities just two miles away has taxes at 6% and 7%.

I do like it that in Europe the sales tax/VAT is already calculated into the price. Although it is a lot higher than in the US. As high as 25% in some countries.

Hello! Newbie here. I browsed and browsed and browsed, and not getting a clear answer... does a Herbag count towards your purchase ratio for a quota bag? Or is it that it doesn't because it's considered a leather goods, but still good for your profile? While Birkin is not an immediate wishlist, I would love to get one someday, and I'd love to buy things I actually would love (like an Herbag) and be counted towards my eventual Birkin! Thank you so much in advance.
