There's a metal rod that hold it all in place so you remove the rod. The rod is holding the leather flap, the handles, and the strap together. When you pull the rod out all the pieces comes apart and you just put it back together and omit the strap.

Hmmm mine seems to have a strange beaded string that can't be taken apart...at the risk of damaging it, I put it back together immediately.

In the event that the end screw gets loose, the string serves the purpose of keeping it intact and it'll just dangle as a poised to it falling on the ground and getting lost. The string actually can be taken apart it's similar to the bead chain on a military dog tag. When putting the bag back together you have to tilt to retract the bead string into the rod and thread the rod back through the leather, strap, and handle (with the bead still inside the rod). When the rod is all the way through, tilt the rod so that the beads come back out and put the cap back on. I actually sat down with my SA and took one apart with her so if you don't feel comfortable, I highly suggest doing the same.

I’m carrying the 31 and I think this size is just nice for my petite frame.

Not sure if it will be as durable as LV’s canvas but so far, it feels really sturdy.

Could you pls pls pls share an experience of how you've been wearing the bag? Eg, how is it holding up with scratches, rain/water. Any pros and cons that you find with this bag and the coated canvas? :)

Totally did not realize this! My end stopper cap came off a bit one time and I freaked out about it coming unscrewed, but this makes sense.

I take mine out on weekends and casually, sadly it's not very work friendly for me since I have to tote a laptop back and forth. My etoupe scratches up a bit and can look dusty but nothing a good wipe won't clean off. I just make sure not to get the leather wet because it's untreated - I know it's going to age more over time, but I don't want to ruin it. Definite con would be that it doesn't have feet! I'm always hesitant to put it on the floor when I'm at restaurants or out.

You can swap out canvas bodies, but I don't think you can purchase the canvas separately.

Why are you buying something you don't like? Isn't it better to just wait for what you really want?



Because I do like the other one as well it just wasn't my first choice (second choice) and I haven't seen this color on anyone so I was thinking was it because the color was "ugly" ? lol I just really wanted the black. (first choice) I got the other one at a discounted price tho :) Thank you
 
My wife was given the choice of either all black and etoupe canvas/ blue nuit leather (which is very similar to your pic). At that time, although the etoupe one was gorgeous, we decided (yes we cause we share bags haha) to go for all black because it's more carefree (don't need to worry about staining the canvas) and my wife suits black a lot. If you really want an all black one, don't settle. I am not sure where you are located, but here in Europe I believe all black is not a rare combo.

Thank you!! I did end up settling the price was right lol plus it'll match almost everything I were color wise :)
however, I still want the all black its just really hard to come by here. You guys were lucky!! :)
 
Does anyone here have a Herbag with kaki color hunter leather? It just looks black on the Hermes site but I’m thinking it should look a bit greenish? How different is it from black? Thanks in advance!
 
Does anyone know if the strap from herbag can be replaced or changed by the other hermès bag strap ?

I actually did that with one of the new Hermes straps. I wasn’t able to clip it on to the bar that goes through the leather. There just wasn’t enough room to get it to clip on. So I had to take it apart and slide it on like the regular strap that comes with the bag.
