Long story short, I was in a rush to catch my flight from Paris, so I forgot to pack my box/packaging for my H box, and now that I'm back home (in CA), I'm worried that my Herbag won't be as protected as if I were to have the box...



I've already called several boutiques and the SA's don't give out boxes (and posts here already said so), and I looked online (ebay). But the price for buying the boxes were quite expensive. I'm considering buying a box from the container store or of that sort, but was wondering if there was a preference (airtight), fabric boxes, etc. would be better (since my bag is both canvas and leather).



Any suggestions would help, since this is my very first Hermes bag purchase from saving up for 3 years!! :) Thanks in advance!

Oh no! I have to say that box is pretty big to pack. Although I keep my best bags in the box that they came in when not in use, I also have others that didn't come with a box and are perfectly fine in their dust bag. As long as u stuff ur Herbag properly and store it lying down in the dust bag, it should b ok. I hope this helped a bit.

Yours are adorable!
So the bar just pulls out? I've never seen one in person yet so not sure how it works

Thank you Kittiekuddles. One side of the bar or tube can be unscrewed so that the bar can be taken out. The first time I took some time to figure out but subsequently it is really easy. Only few minutes. Feel free to pm me if u need help to remove the strap. [emoji3]

Ladies,



I'd like to ask your opinion on whether I should get a vintage herbag (the detachable type that switches out with 2 different canvas colors) if the price is a little above $1000 usd?



The leather is pretty scratched up, comes in GHW -haven't seen that on herbag before!- and the canvas is in fair condition with some scuffs and stains.



My grail bag is of course the Kelly, which is rather pricier so the Herbag with switchable canvas is tempting. I'm just wondering if I should save the money I'd spend on the herbag and just put it to the Kelly instead?



I'd probably buy the Kelly on the resale market as well, and am prepared to stash aside a fund for a couple of years while keeping an eye out for the leather/size/color i want. In the meantime, should I get the herbag, or in your opinions is the Kelly that much more functional/versatile and beautiful I shouldn't try to satisfy myself with her canvas cousin?



Will very much appreciate your input! I currently own no hermes items ...well actually no high-end designer goods even. Shall I just go straight to the top? xD

What did you end up doing? My SA has an etoupe Herbag available, wondering if I should get it or wait for a K. Haven't tried a Herbag in person so I'm not sure if it would be too impractical and not functional

Hi lovely ladies. Just a quick question, does the handle or leather part of the herbag gets water spots just like the leather of LV monograms? Thanks in advance!

I've gotten caught in rain several times with my Herbag and the water spots dry up each time. Granted, it wasn't a downpour rain and not soaking wet. I have a vintage Herbag though so the leather might be slightly different and/or the previous owner owner could have treated it.
