Does anyone know how to properly use the lock on the Herbag? I had three SAs stare at the thing and none could figure out how to functionally lock up the bag as you would with a B or K.
I think the lock is really more there for aesthic reasons and to keep the top part attached to the bag securely. As the lock in the front doesn't really have space to put anything on it
Aesthetics? Disappointed. Was hoping there were a practical way to lock up the bag that I was perhaps too thick to figure out. Don't tease me with a false sense of security by providing a lock, H!
When I got my herbag I didn't even think of using the lock (how and where), but after seeing pics of it with the lock, I definitely am going to put it on from now on. Realistically, the lock doesn't provide much/any security for a B or K anyways...sorry to disappoint further!
But it's totally functional on the B. Unless you cut the bag open you can't easily get into it. I mean, lol, if someone's set on robbing your bag they're going to do it but it's some deterrent from reaching into your bag and lifting your wallet. I find this useful for plane rides when you've got the bulkhead and need to put away for takeoff/landing.
For pickpocketing perhaps, but if someone wants to actually rob you, they'll take your whole bag and deal with it later. I also doubt its hard to pick the locks or just rip the straps apart lol.
Actually you can lock the herbag, it's not just for aesthetics. Though it's pretty hard to open anyway - and as some othe lady stated if someone was intend in robbing they would simply take the whole bag. Opening and closing the herbag is an art in itself
so pickpocket proof.

Agreed! I'm good at opening and closing mine one-handed, but unless a thief had trained specifically in the art of Herbag strapping and un-strapping, I highly doubt he or she would get anywhere near my belongings.
+1. I said the same thing to my sister the other day when she was wondering about the lock on B. Lol.
Hi everyone.. Need some opinion 
Last night, I was able to buy the orange herbag size 31 from the hermes USA site. When I saw it I just quickly grabbed it knowing it won't be there for much longer.
Since then, I've been researching on the herbag and see if it's really worth the price tag? Any ideas? It's canvas so I am not sure if I can maintain it.
Originally.. I am waiting for the lindy in etoupe or black but then I am gearing towards a gold or etoupe Evelyn and also getting an orange Picotin. Now with the herbag, I am also thinking about getting the evelyn. Any thoughts?
Thanks so much!

Congrats at your new bag! Although it's canvas, mine has held up remarkably well. I don't baby it at all, and it looks brand new. I bought mine a few months ago, but I've used it daily for periods of time, put it on my car floor, etc. The only tricky part is getting in and out of it quickly. I love having a bag I don't have to baby, and since mine is bleu lin, it's very casual.
Ah bleu lin!! My favourite herbag colour! You're so lucky! I just got a bambou one
I do have a question though, with the herbag, everyone here has been saying its hunter leather. But my SA said it's calf leather. hmm?
And he also mentioned to just wipe the canvas down with a clean cloth, no water on canvas. How do you clean yours? I'm so paranoid with mine. I don't want my denim to transfer its colour to the canvas. eek!
You do have to be careful about denim transfer. This happened to me carrying my herbag while wearing dark jeans and I got denim transfer on my herbag. So back it went to Paris for cleaning ... now it looks brand new. (My herbag is 9 years old.)Ah bleu lin!! My favourite herbag colour! You're so lucky! I just got a bambou one
