Hello everyone!
I come from the Louis Vuitton corner and never dreamed about owning a Hermes because the only models I knew were the Birkin & the Kelly which as far as I know ramge from 4000 to 30000 haha!

But I found out about the herbag recently and not only do i LOVE the way it looks but it is also more affordable to me!

What do you Hermes lovers think of the herbag? Get it? Or save up for a more high quality one? Not saying that the herbag is below perfect quality though! It looks stunning and the craftsmanship is wonderful. The lower price segment just made me wonder how thre herbag stands in the Hermes community? :)

Thanks for any opinions! x

Hello everyone, idk whether this is the right thread for my question but here it goes:
Does Hermes sell herbag-bodies seperately? To exchange for the onesyou already have if you feel like getting more colors for example.
Thanks in advance!

I have my lovely herbag, it was literally waiting for me on the shelf last Tuesday!

But I've noticed that one of the screws gets loose and I find myself checking to make sure it's not too lose more frequently than I care to.

Is this common? Or should I ask my store to look into it?
 
Hello Ladies

I am a complete newbie to Hermès.
I recently bought a mint Herbag PM in black (the old model - mine is from 2001) because I like the interchangeable canvas option. It has been authenticated by Bababebi.

It really is beautiful BUT the leather has a really strong smell. First I couldn't place it but I think it is something like cow/goat/horse - you know animal smell.

Is this normal and is there any way to make it go away?

Hi there :)

It depends entirely on what size and color you are looking at.

You will pay more for the black and natural combo, as well as any Vibrato. The green or blue sets tend to go for less, as do the red/orange set. Oddly, I get the most compliments on the orange bag when I carry it.

I purchased a set of the orange and red with the brown leather for a song over on Let-Trade. I want to say that I paid about $600-ish, and it was pretty much brand new This is the set with the shoulder strap and gold hardware.

I also have the backpack style with the large and smaller black bags, and managed to find an auction for an additional natural bag, all with the black leather and palladium hardware. Including the addition of the natural bag, this set cost around $1,100-ish, give or take.

Let's see if this picture works...please excuse my sad table; my cats used it as a launch pad and scratched it terribly.

Hi, are you talking about the round screw on the top part on one end? If you are, this is the part u unscrew to take the bag apart. Don't worry it won't fall off even if it gets unscrewed, once it's unscrewed there's a chain like metal thing that's holding it together (it will dangle) It's actually quite fun to take it apart. U have the option to take the bag handles out. Try it one time, u might enjoy it!

Yes that screw! Good to know it'll dangle! I think I'll take it apart one day just to see. Thank you for this info!
