I'm thinking of possibly getting a Herbag but saw that someone had mentioned a waterproof version? I saw in other threads that the canvas is water resistant but not as waterproof as the LV canvas.

It’s actually not a waterproof version. Just a coated canvas with better dirt resistance. Just a few drop of rain is no issue. The upper part still a leather and cannot get wet as usual. I use my umbrella when I carry my coated herbag during rainy days.
Does anyone know how hard it is to order a full black 31 in the store? Does it take long for waiting and get one by putting myself in the waiting list?
Also I like the new shiny waterproof version as well.
It seems other colour combinations looks nice but I only prefer navy, black, brown, dark green, etc for the canvas part.

I was looking for the black black Herbag 31 for about a year or so before I got it in February. I’ve always been told that there is no waiting list in London really. I was just persistent and went to store and asked regularly and it popped up. Along the way there were several other colours shown to me.
Mine is canvas black with black leather and gold hardware. It is the retourne style that I have turned inside out to make it the sellier style.
I do like the coated canvas one but it never popped up before this one for me. I know on H UK website there was an all black coated 39 the other day but 39 is quite large.
I actually just saw a video of someone having a waterproof coated canvas black version. I think it looks so much better than the original canvas, and seems it won't get dirty as easy as canvas without any coating.
Is that just a seasonal model? Can I still order one from the store?

Update: I got email from Hermes that the "toile militaire" material 31 Herbag should be available in my country soon, I wasn't sure if the "toile militaire" refer to the new coated canvas or just the regular canvas?
Hi ladies! I figured I'd join this thread and give an update on Herbag availability in France when I visited in October 2019. There were a lot of Herbag availability (even on the shelves), but they were all in the Retourne style and not the new coated canvas (at least the ones I was presented in Paris and Aix-en-Provence). I ended up getting the Herbag 31 in Blue Indigo, which I truly fell in love with for the color. You can check out my unboxing here. However, I feel like I would love to buy the Herbag in the new coated canvas and Sellier style. I hadn't realized that the black on black comes with the gold hardware, and I feel like that'd be way more appealing to me than I had originally imagined. In the meantime, I'll enjoy my new purchase. Congrats to everyone on their bag purchases, and best wishes to everyone else who is on their way to buying theirs! Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy xo
I have the black on black GHW, I hadn’t realised that it was the retourne style though (in my excitement I just went yay! And bought it then got home and was like eh there’s something weird.. compared it to my orange was figured it out). Much prefer the Sellier style.
Congrats on your new Herbag!
I’m getting itchy to buy but UK stores are still closed and there’s nothing on the H site I want to buy!
I bought an herbag 31 from the Boston boutique in the USA 2 years ago and they had 5+ color combinations to choose from. It probably depends on the boutique! I ended up getting etoupe/noir.
Does anyone know how easy it is to get a Herbag online from the UK site? I have been stalking for a while now and I see them pop up a couple of times a week but every single time I'm too late and it says sold out. I actually managed to add the orange one to my basket earlier today but when I went to checkout it said it was out of stock. I just can't seem to figure out their re-stock times? Also the website is awful and seems to keep bags up for a while even when they're gone. Any tips for buying online?
I met a lovely SA in Hermes Selfridge's in Feb who said he was more than happy to help me find one the problem is I don't live in London so even when the boutiques reopen I won't be able to visit anytime soon

Hey!
I got an orange Herbag from the H website about 2 years ago. It was very random, I think it was a Saturday afternoon?
I have the search page saved and check it regularly. Their restock times are incredibly random! A couple days ago I posted above. There were 2 bags in the search but both showed out of stock when you clicked on them but the Vanille colour was available but not showing up in the search! As far as I know an SA told me that you have to be quick - even if you add to cart, it doesn’t reserve it yet, someone can purchase it if you haven’t paid yet.
I got my other Herbag from Selfridges but I had to keep checking in weekly to get the colour I was looking for. But in general they seem to get good stock in a variety of colours.
Any colour/s in particular you’re looking for?
Hey thanks for your reply
wow you were lucky to get an orange online, that's the colour I would like most! I like all the bright colours (yellow, pink etc) in the sellier style but orange is my favourite. That's a good idea to save the search page, I'll try that. I still have the orange bag in my basket from earlier it just says out of stock so maybe I will keep it in there and keep refreshing also? It's so annoying as I used to live in London and even worked at Harrods so it was so easy for me to stalk the counters but I was in my Chanel phase back then, hadn't moved onto H yet

I actually looked for an orange Herbag for about 18months before I got lucky on H website! Apparently it just wasn’t a common colour back then - the seasonal colours were more popular! I had literally gone onto the website to look at something else and on a whim searched for Herbag and it was the only colour that came up and I freaked out!
I had stalked every physical H store in London for ages before then.
As soon as I got the orange, I was obsessed with getting an all black one. It took about 6 months of proper looking and waiting till I found it in Selfridges just before lockdown! The black is Retourne style which I turned inside out to make Sellier style. I had intended the all black Herbag to be my only black with PHW bag but as fate would have it, it has GHW lol
Oh both your bags are beautiful! I imagine the all black is very practical and the gold hardware is gorgeous. It's good to know your timeframe for Getting the bags, I've liked the Herbag for a long time but would say I only started looking for it seriously on the website since January so could be a long wait yet but I'll just keep trying.
Originally my plan was to meet a nice SA when I was in London for work and keep in touch for when I was down visiting hoping one time I might get lucky, and the SA I met at Selfridge's was very helpful and gave me his card but since then we've had lockdown and I'm also pregnant so won't be going to London at all for the foreseeable future now so online is my only option. I'll keep my fingers crossed
