Went to the boutique today and I sent my herbag to have the color transfer removed on the canvas. I was quoted $270 and it will take around 6 months to get the bag back. As I've said earlier, I don't mind waiting that long but I have to admit I was a bit turned off because that bag was only purchased two months ago and I couldn't justify the cost considering it's only minor color transfer. I also think if I went elsewhere I could have been charged less and I could get my bag quicker. Anyway, lesson learned, I won't buy anything Hermes from now on. Good thing I only have a Kelly and herbag so when the time comes I need to repair my Kelly I will just sell it. Moreover, I initially planned on buying clic clac and a scarf today while at the store but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth so I changed my mind. I refuse to give my hard earned bucks to a company who has no regard for customers! Sorry for the rant!

hi Peppapink! it also depends on the dye and material of the clothes/pants. i would avoid bright reds, oranges, etc as well. avoid anything that is a deep color. part of it is because when you are walking, there is friction and with it, heat which makes the color transfer more likely. anyway, if you make sure the bag doesn't rub too much on any clothing it will be ok.


i like the toile bags that hermes makes...esp when paired with leather. i am wondering if there is some treatments i can perform on the leather to make it less likely to get color transfer or easier to clean. sometimes looks and functionality/durability don't go hand-in-hand tho
:sad:

Docride has kits to treat bags. I bought one for my Herbag.

I have been offered a Herbag Indigo with black leather and red edging size 31.

I really like the look of the Herbag but my main question is how does/do Herbags wear/look over time. Are they durable? What do Herbag owners think of their Herbags?

Having never owned a Hermes Canvas bag I have no experience so ask kindly for some advice before I purchase the bag. Thank you so much for letting me share.

Herbag is a pretty bag, but the canvas couldn't stand with time, which is irreparable with even spa in H shop. The clasp closure also drives one crazy.... Just my opinion.

Do any of you ladies fine the leather handle a bit hard to hold for long periods of time? I started using DH's size 39, and the leather handle makes my hand hurt after awhile, so I'm just wondering if it's the same thing on the size 31...

I don't personally (especially twilly-wrapped) - do you mean because of the weight of the what's in the bag or purely the handle itself? At least you can always switch to the strap!

Hee hee... I guess that's the solution to DHs problem... Put a twilly on that handle! :p

I think it's a little bit of both of the natural weight with handle and the weight of what's in the bag.

Are you able to wear your 31 cross body?
