My latest splurge! Herbag Zip 31 noir in coated canvas.
This will be my 3rd Herbag, I've had the PM vintage and Zip 31 Rose Hortensia! There's currently a Zip 39 available on display in Bleu Marine/Bleu Indigo at the Sydney store.

Beautiful! I have the same one. It's such a pain to get in and out of but it's so chic that I don't even care (I just make sure I utilize the back zippered pocket effectively), And the coated canvas indestructible - my go to bad weather bag.
 
I’ve always wanted a goyard but kept going back and forth. I couldn’t make up my mind and they came out with the rouette which I like but haven’t seen it in person. So I’m still going back and forth. I think what’s keeping me from purchasing it, is the fact that it’s canvas.

I’ve been admiring the herbag for a while now. I know Hermès doesn’t ship leather, has that changed? Would I be able to call a store and have it shipped out of state? Also I do not know the price and sizes. Would anyone please share that info? TIA.

Both are canvas, but if it’s around the same price range $2500 I’d prefer the Hermès. But if the herbag needs to be purchased in store I may have to go preowned or go with the rouette. Would love to hear everyone’s opinion.

I’m assuming you’re in the US? Herbags appear on the website now and again but they get snapped up quickly. As for sizes and prices check out the prices thread here.

Hi there !
Thank you for an inspiring thread !
I would like some opinions if possible - i have just bought this preloved Herbag and i’m afraid it is overwhelming on my frame.. it’s very light though. What do you guys think?
(Apologies for the bathroom picture !!!)

How tall are you? I think it looks so chic.
I just got one too and wondering if maybe it’s too big for me. I’m only 5’2”. I think when hand carried it’s fine but using the long strap it gets bulky and looks like I’m wearing a briefcase maybe herbags should only be hand carried?

Thanks for your answer ! I'm 5"2 too ! I have the exact same feeling as you ! I haven't taken it out yet because it has to be fairly empty for me to be able to hand carry it. so what's the point in having such a large bag if it has to be nearly empty for me to use it?? I had the same issue with an old Céline Orlov bag and i decided to sell it... Did you get an old model or the new one?

I bought a new one in Paris for my birthday so I kind of love it for that sentimentality too. I used it while traveling and it’s great for that. Holds everything but then so heavy.
But same as you I typically don’t carry a lot so I can keep it fairly empty.
You should wear it out! I’ll need to take some modeling shots and decide whether I should Keep or not.

Hi, this is my first post here and I apologize if I put this in the wrong thread. I just have a question---I was wondering what are your thoughts on the Herbag for men? I am purchasing my first Herbag-in fact Hermes product ever and I thought the Herbag is a good place to start. I uploaded the bag picture. It's black with dark brown accents in the PM size-I believe its a sellier version. Secondly, are you able to use a different strap-lets say the Sangle Hermes strap or any third party strap?
Thanks.

Are they now selling the herbag in retourne? Anyone know if it’s different from the sellier version?
Yes, it’s more rounded and softer looking around the corners. I saw one earlier. The only thing about this noir version, don’t let your dog or cat near it! It’ll certainly attract their fur! IMHO it felt lighter in terms of weight and really a nice casual option.

When I was doing my initial research on Herbag, I found a YouTube vid from TheMaximalist to be useful in general, plus for your purpose he presents a guy's point of view. Do a search for that one. His is the 39 Zip (Sellier) in a beautiful dark Rouge color, with dark Ebony handle. Hope this helps!

Thank you I watched his YT video and it makes me more excited about the Herbag. I'm just wondering does anyone here change the strap of their herbag?
