I've been desperately searching for the Herbag PM but have no luck searching for one so far (both in NY and here in San Francisco). Is it that hard to locate one here in the U.S.?

Hi!!

I'm not sure if the mods will remove this response, but Sam from Haute Gallery had one for sale last week and if you look in the Hermès shopping section under the thread "Internet finds," you can definitely find a few there!!

Good luck!!

Hello guys.

I have a question- may be a dumb one, but something I couldnt find an answer to after going thru the thread.

Are the leather parts of the Herbag interchangeable for all sizes? I mean, if I get a Herbag with leather for 30 cms, can I use the same for 40cm?

I would love to have a 40, but the local seller only has 30cm canvas sac. So if I buy 30 cm bag with leather, I would want to be able to use it with the 40 cm canvas sac. Is that possible?

The sac and leather parts are sized to match the width/height of the same size. You would only be able to swap and change sac/leather combinations if you had more than one of the exact same size, for example if you had a black GM and brown GM Herbag you would be able to swap the leather over to make a black/brown GM.

The sizing of a GM and PM are totally different and not mixable in the manner you suggest.

dear all,

i have been thinking about getting a 2ndhand kelly but i still found it to be out of my budget. i researched more and think herbag is more afforable towards my earning power.

But when i checked on ebay, the prices of herbag are sooo cheap, and those are reliable seller from Japan.

Any idea why? Dont herbag has resale value?

thank you for your valuable advice

Hello Girls,

I'm coveting a Herbag for fall and I was wondering...Can we buy other pouches at Hermès?
Let's say i'm buying it in black and feel like buying additional etoupe pouch would they sell it to me or would they ask me to buy the entire stuff again (ie leather strap and all).
I'm really loving the diversity of that bag and think it looks beautiful (even if not handcrafted).

Best,

If you buy the vintage (pre owned) herbag, you will get 2 canvas.

I see... then maybe I can try and chase extra pouches on the bay or something. Mmm I'll visit hermès this fall and will decide. Either this or a vintage Kelly (they usually amount to the same amount).

Many thanks

I think you might have misunderstood me. The current herbag edition is different than the previous one. With the current herbag, it is not possible to detach the canvas from the leather. Whilst, the previous edition, you can detach and change it with other canvas. I might be wrong though, but so far, i do not see any possible way to detach my herbag (bought it 3 yrs ago). HTH

You are correct. It is not possible to remove the canvas part from the leather on the new Herbag. It is only the old version (not on sale in H shops, but still available through re-sellers) that you can swap the different size canvas pouches.

However, I have been told by SAs in more than one store that it is still possible to SO parts for the old version, if you have one.

Hello everyone! :)

I am currently planning to buy my first Hermes bag (the Herbag) and I'm still pretty clueless about some stuff. Does the new one convert to a backpack? What sizes are available (and most suited for a petite person)?

Thank you so much in advance :)

Hi,

No it doesn't convert to a backpack. It's comes in 31 and 39. I'd go with 31. 39 is a bit luggage-looking if you're petite. Hope you find one you like!
