Although I only have 2 Hermes (used to have 3), my workhorse would definitely be black clemence 35...it is perfect!
Tamarind For me the Gold Togo is the only bag I have right now that can withstand just about anything. That said, it's a great color in Togo....not too light at all. Just right for use with just about anything you can think of to wear except some dresses and fancy affairs, KWIM? I wear lot's of black and jeans and this bag just fits right in. I don't think you can go wrong with a Gold Togo Bag.....it's a staple in my wardrobe!
Smom and Patz, do you do anything in particular to keep the gold togo handles from darkening? Sorry to digress, but this is sort of on the workhorse topic?
Should one try to wrap the handles in twillies (not really workhorse compatible) or just forget about it and figure the handles can be replaced later? Or is darkening not an issue? I should be getting a 30 gold togo GH this year, sooo excited, but already worried about the handles!
Right now my workhorse is a 35 black CDC PH--love it, no problem with corner scuffs so far....

On darkening of handle, I think wrapping a twilly can be workhorse compatible if you have many twillies. You can kind of rotate them and take different ones out to clean periodically.
