Just scored a vintage Herbag on eBay after authenticating it here. I will post pics when I get it. It's a natural top with black and off-white bottoms.

I'm hoping the items are as described. It's allegedly in fairly clean condition and comes with strap, booklet, box, sleeper, keys, lock and clochette. The biggest negative was a deep smile mark from the lock and I'm hoping it can be removed. Has anyone had success with that?

It's more expensive than I wanted to pay, but it met all my check marks: two different colours, both PM size and no backpack option. Plus even when I eventually buy a few Kellys, as the mom of a 21 month old I'll still have room for Herbags in my purse rotation for quite some time.

Now on the hunt for a black top with same criteria :)

Does the Hunter leather flap soften in time or does it stay that hard? I still haven't used my Sakura pink herbag yet as I'm still fiddling with getting in and out of the bag and also unsure how to maintain the light coloured toile body. Suggestions would be much appreciated thank you!

I got it today! One week shipping from Japan not bad. It's actually in better condition than described. For the lighter bag there's no visible stains and from what I've seen online a lot of those bags get really beaten up. The only down side is that I wanted to turn the bags inside out (to make it more "sellier" and also give me a pocket on the outside). For the lighter bag I cant do it because it's oddly pristine on the outside but dark on the inside so the colour is off. I will turn the black bag inside out.

Does anyone have any ideas for the smile mark? From what I've found I can take a pink eraser to try to remove. I'm jut scared to do it and screw up. Maybe I'll just leave it. It's barely noticeable if I leave the lock on.

This is the PM size and it's kinda big but I think it would be useful for rolling around town with the kiddy. I'm excited because although expensive (cost me 1100 CAD including customs) it has everything. So I actually have an orange box (I've a thing for boxes) and dust bag.

I will post model pics later. Special thank you to bababebi who authenticated for me. I love this forum!

Is it true that Herbag will be no longer available? My SA said that they have received the final delivery of this bag, and they do not expect to have it more.. I am a little suspicious about this... Perhaps she just didn´t want me to get one :/

My new-to-me Herbag pm in black & ebene. Loving it to bits and pieces! The only thing that bothers me is a smile mark on the back lock area. Is this normal thou? Does putting the lock on caused this kind of mark? Thanksss 😀😀

It's gorgeous, congrats! I have a vintage one with the natural coloured top and it too has a smile mark. It indeed is caused by leaving the lock on. From what I gather it's the weight of the lock plus the swinging motion that rubs the leather away and causes an indent and/or discolouration. This can happen on any purse if you leave the lock "in position".

Perhaps she ment, that the Herbag-Herbag isn't available any more, but the Herbag zip is. Till yesterday a violet one showed up under germany.hermes. Sadly I didn't take her- want to have one too.

Yes that could be the case, thank you.
Oh, is the bag still available? I think not, I was not able to find it.. Do you remember how much it was?
