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.)

Oh Paris! I will wait until the herbag gets (really) dirty before I send it there. It will take 6 months from Aus. Sigh.

How was the leather after if came back? Better than it was as well? :)
 
This isn't really a question, but have ladies "pulled" your herbag zip apart? I have and have posted the same photo on "Your Hermes in Action" thread, but I'll post it on here for convenience.

I don't know why H decides to NOT let us have interchangeable canvases. I'm quite sad about. After pulling it apart, I tried to turn it inside out, because I read that some people did this with the old one. Again, to no avail. It's quite stiff to turn inside out.

So my question is... what is the point of keeping the engineering side of things when we can't even change the canvases. :( Easier to clean for them, perhaps. STILL. Maybe I should sew up a few canvas bodies and interchange them! :D

MrsJDS, may I know how much for sending your herbag for spa?

PS: I'm a newbie to this forum, and just gotten my first hermes bag, herbag zip. It has a trendy look.
 
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!



I'm not sure what type of leather it is, but of course my SA still recommended not using it in the rain- I wish H made a bag that could be used in all weather conditions lol. My canvas hasn't gotten dirty, so I haven't need to clean it yet- I was thinking if it stains or something, perhaps a magic eraser would be ok? Not sure though. I also haven't experienced any color transfer, but I'm cautious about letting it rub against dark denim.

Pretty sure the leather is hunter and there should be absolutely no issues with using it in the rain. The only two leathers I would be cautious with are croc/gator and box. I have used all my bags in drenching rain with no ill effects - that includes togo, clemence, chèvre, swift, barenia.

Wore my Herbag out into the drizzling rain and it didn't even get wet. The water forms little droplets on the canvas, like it does on Burberry trench coats. I left them there for about a good 15-20 mins and they finally seeped through. Not a big problem at all as it dries quickly. The leather was perfectly fine as well. No water marks. The water just fell off. Like magic.
 
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!

Have you received it yet? I think the orange herbag would be a great spring summer bag and you can use it casually.
 
I think herbag comes in orange for 31cm cos only saw orange in Capri-Italy when was here last 2 week and of course bought it cos is pretty difficult to get a herbag in Italy. I will post a picture tomorrow. :smile1:

I also saw a bigger herbag -think is 39cm , nice too and price difference only Euro200
