Oh wow, really? That's good to know, makes it even more appealing as a casual, worry-free H bag
Thank you!@ncch I live in Honolulu & just got mines last week in navy. They had a maroonish/red on display. I opted for the navy just bcoz it's darker & less prone to getting dirty as it is a canvas material.
The color combo is amazing. This Herbag is so beautiful and classic. thank you for sharing
I've seen them in many colors but getting your hands on them could b difficult. The SA told me they hardly get herbags. The day I went they had 2 available a Rubis with light brown leather and navy with light brown leather. I was undecided so I decided to sleep on it for 2 nights. When I called the SA she said the navy was sold....aaaahhhhhh I almost cried lol so I told her put a request order for a navy. She called 5 days later hahaha and my request came in. Navy with dark brown leather.
Thank you. This is my 2nd week of using her. Luv luv her but it's a chore getting in n out of it hahaha
Not at all! I also do not know if it does. I've never seen one in all leather though. Only in canvas (body) then top flap is hunter leather.
I'm about to receive a new-to-me vintage Herbag -- the cheapest entry level Hermes bag, which is perfect for me as my first! This thread is so inspirational, I'm excited go show off before-after pictures as I whip this used bag into shape with canvas cleaning and leather reconditioner.
So, on that note, my question... how would you clean a (old/DC'ed) Herbag canvas? And how should I prevent further damage in inclement weather (it's almost rainy season in Portland)? Mine will come with some discoloration/stains. I don't plan to resell but I want to keep it as a practical daybag/backpack for years to come!

Hello...I'm so happy for you. I wish I had an answer on how to clean the canvas but I don't. To try to keep it in shape, however, I put a thick cardboard and wrapped it with a pretty stationery that I cut fitted to shape the bottom so that it doesn't sag and when it's stored away, it's stuffed and I lay it flat.

I've heard that the canvas/toile used on an Evelyne bag, for example, is very well and easily cleaned by H. I'm not sure if it's the same type of canvas, but maybe you should bring it to a boutique for a spa treatment? Also, do you know about docride's thread? She has lots of great info on caring for your H bags, though I don't know if she addresses canvas, she might just talk about leathers.
Thank you for pointing me to docride's thread! I've posted and I'm waiting to hear back. I got my Herbag today - and though she's gorgeous (what amazing leather) she's certainly the worst condition handbag I've ever owned. Haha.
- some top leather is dry and scuffed and a little darkened on the outside
- the canvas is really absurdly dirtu on the backpack size (which is the one I intended to use most)
- there is scuffing on the hardware that I'm a bit worried about.
I took the larger/dirtier canvas bag to not one but TWO dry cleaners and was roundly rejected both times. Apparently they can't dry clean it without taking off the waxy layer in their chemicals, which they think is bad for both the bag and their chemical bath.
Has anyone else taken the Herbag to be cleaned professionally? Where did you go?
