Thoughts on Herbag 39 for men? I want something easy for everyday (I'm a commuter) that I can carry on the shoulder or in the hand. I like the idea of a Kelly 40cm but I'd hate to bang it around on the bus and subway. With a Herbag I feel like the canvas can take a beating (and hello...costs much less so I won't feel as bad).
I'm thinking Sellier. Not sure what color. A bi-color would be nice but I know harder to find in 39. Let me know and please post photos if you have one!

I just got my 39 in last week and I think it's perfect for me (6'1" male with medium frame). I went with Retourne as I felt like it fit more in line with my life than Sellier. I am (err 'was' due to COVID) also a commuter and it's the perfect size for all the things I need to carry without being awkward and I'd feel comfortable taking it to post work happy hours (remember those?) or use it for daily life. One thing to note is that the shoulder strap isn't SUPER long, so if you're taller than me I'd recommend checking one out in store if possible to see if it's a comfortable carry for you, or you could always change out the strap as other people have done in this thread.
If you'd be happy with a Retourne style I know that they have a nior/nior 39 at the Beverly Hills store (where I ordered mine from, my friend, who happens to be an SA, there said two were in stock when I was inquiring). I can do mod shots if needed!
Thank you!! I'm quite shorter than you (about 5'7"/5'8") athletic build. I hate to overtake this thread with inquiries but I would love to see some modeling shots. Guys modeling the H pieces seems rare and I find it super helpful in the decision making process. I can't figure out Retourne or Sellier, I feel like I see Sellier more so it's more familiar to me for the Herbag. I'm in NJ/NYC so I have many stores to choose from to find what I'm looking for (hopefully).
Thanks!
Hi - Just saw your message in the tread and thought I could help out. Iamgps does a video on the herbag and from memory he does model it during the video. This is the video if it helps you out with your decision!
Can someone please update how much the herbag zip 31 cost now? I’ve been looking for it everywhere and couldn’t find it.

I’m actually the same height as you and I have the 39 Herbag in black/black (I also live in the same area)! I’m ~125lbs. The 39 is actually quite a beast for someone my size but it isn’t too bad if you’re layered up. If it’s summer and you don’t have much bulk to your frame with clothing, it can look a bit overwhelming using it recreationally and would recommend the 31. A piece of advice if you’re going to use it for commute and travel (which is what I only use it for), get a bag organizer for support because the bag likes to sag if you put something heavy like a laptop in there!
love this color!I just managed to score the Herbag 31 Berline Canvas exactly like the photo below... can anyone advise about general wear and tear for the coated canvas versions of the Herbag? As I am still a bit on the fence about the bag, especially given that the price is not far off from a totally leather bag like the Picotin. I am also curious if anyone has experienced the coated canvas breaking up or seams coming undone from the body etc given the material. Thanks in advance

Congratulations, she's beautiful! I have two herbag 31s, one in etoupe canvas and one in orange poppy canvas. The canvas has been EXTREMELY durable on both of them. No fraying or ripping, and I used to take them on 2 trains/daily commutes into the city for work. I've recently noticed light discoloring on the back bottom corners of the orange poppy bag, but it is hardly noticeable. I haven't found the best way to clean it yet, but it might not be a bad idea to search for cleaning tips in the forums! That's where I'm headed.I just managed to score the Herbag 31 Berline Canvas exactly like the photo below... can anyone advise about general wear and tear for the coated canvas versions of the Herbag?

Thats good feedback - I usually go for safe dark colours so this is out there for me! but with this being my first Hermes bag I thought go for it! I am still new to Hermes but maybe the SA you have can give tips regarding cleaning. I remember mine before saying you can take bags back for SPA but I am not sure what it means at this stage regarding the extent of it.
I heard that too that you cant change the strap in place of another one - I will get mine in soon so I can keep you posted and let you know as it will be 2020/21 version
Yes, please keep us updated! I recently saw a video with the Herbag having detachable straps.
I'm thinking of picking up a Herbag with black leather, black canvas and gold hardware or one with gold leather, gold canvas and gold hardware. But these two combos seems to be so hard to get. As this is my first Hermes purchase, I'm not sure if a SA would help me keep an eye out on it 
any tips anyone?
any tips anyone?Hi ! Being new to Hermes too - I think I lucked out. Depending on your location it may be different - as stores are still closed where I live you can either go through Hermes customer service (I would advise calling them I found more joy that way) and they can help or just keep checking online. But if your stores are open where you live I think you can make a general wish list and they can help you - this may still take some time. Hope this helps and happy hunting !I'm thinking of picking up a Herbag with black leather, black canvas and gold hardware or one with gold leather, gold canvas and gold hardware.

I second the suggestion of calling the CS. I find them very helpful and hopefully you will get directed to a store which has your preferred combo in stock and you can take it from there! Good luck!
I have just bought my first herbag last week. I wanted a black/navy combo. Where I am , we have been in lockdown for a while so back in December I emailed the lovely SA who helped me when I last visited my local store in the autumn. They didn’t have anything suitable in stock back then but two weeks ago I received a message that a bag meeting my requirements was available and whether I was interested in seeing some pictures. Long story short, the bag arrived last week and I couldn’t be more pleased with the whole experience.
