Hermès Herbag: Luxury Within Reach

Say hello to the Hermès Herbag, your all-year-round ticket to that Hermès elegance without the sky-high price tag. It’s like the Kelly’s chill little sister: elegant, practical, and way more wearable (and affordable) for every day.

Once you get to know the Herbag, you’ll wonder why you didn’t grab one sooner.

History of Hermès Herbag

The Herbag made its debut in the late ’80s or early ’90s, although the precise “date of birth” remains somewhat of an unknown.

Having spent some time in the spotlight, the Herbag was discontinued in the mid-2000s. But just when we thought it was gone for good, Hermès brought it back in 2009 with a fresh update called the Herbag Zip.

Despite its name, the Herbag isn’t just for women. With larger sizes, it’s a versatile choice that works for both men and women.

Unique Design of Hermès Herbag

The Hermès Herbag has an elegant trapezoid shape like the Kelly Bag. It also comes with a short top handle and a longer shoulder strap.

The top flap is secured with leather sangles and a ‘Clou de Selle’ fastening, giving it that signature Hermès look.

On the back, there is a zipped pocket and inside, you can find a detachable pouch.

What makes the Herbag truly special is how customizable it is. You can mix and match the tops and bodies and even turn the bag inside out to switch up the look. If you like sharper, more structured edges, simply remove the top and flip the body.

Having all these different options, the Herbag is a very special and versatile bag.

Material of Hermes Herbag

The Herbag has a main body made from Officier canvas, which is a heavy, structured cotton. It’s woven from thin threads giving it a firm yet flexible feel that holds its shape well over time.

To balance out the sturdy canvas, the top flap and straps are made from Vache Hunter leather, a tough, durable cowhide.

The Herbag also features Hermès’ signature Clou de Selle closure. This gives the bag that classy, timeless finish.

Recently, Hermès has introduced a version with coated Berline canvas. This canvas is incredibly durable and waterproof. The glossy finish not only makes it tougher but also gives the bag a more refined, polished look.

Hermès Herbag Sizes

The Herbag is available in five different sizes. There is a size for everybody.

Let’s start with the Herbag Mini, the smallest and the latest addition to the Herbag family. Suitable for an outing when you only need to bring the basics with you.

Next up, we have the Herbag 31. It is a perfect size for running errands or everyday use.

If you need something larger for work, pick Herbag 39. It can comfortably hold a laptop and a notebook.

For travelers, there are two larger sizes of the Herbag. The Herbag Zip Cabine 50 is ideal for air travel as a carry-on. In the meantime, the Herbag 52 is an ideal companion for overnight escapes or weekend trips.

The Hermès Herbag is very versatile, it’s not tied to one look, one lifestyle, or one gender.

🎓 Students & Young Professionals

Best pick: Herbag 31 or Herbag 39

If you’re juggling lectures, part-time jobs, or your first office gig, the Herbag 31 or 39 is your go-to. It’s big enough to carry your essentials: laptop, notebook, charger, makeup pouch, but sleek enough to keep your look polished.

Picture this: you’re heading from a morning meeting to a late afternoon coffee date. Your Herbag sits comfortably on your shoulder, blending casual cool with understated elegance. You look put together, even on the busiest days.

✈️ Travel Lovers & Weekenders

Best pick: Herbag Zip Cabine 50 or Herbag 52

Need something that fits your clothes, toiletries, iPad, maybe even a second pair of shoes? The Herbag 50 and 52 are made for the road. These larger sizes are ideal as carry-ons for flights or stylish weekender bags for those spontaneous getaways.

Thanks to their light canvas body and roomy interior, they’re way easier to carry than a bulky leather bag. You’ll still be repping that Hermès status without screaming it.

💕 Couples & Stylish Families

Best pick: Herbag Mini + Herbag 39 combo

Want to match without being too matchy-matchy? Try a cute combo: the Herbag Mini for her and the Herbag 39 for him.

This duo also works great for parents and kids — a mom carrying the 39 with baby gear, and a little one toting their own Mini like a fashion-forward sidekick. It’s practical, it’s adorable, and it’s very Hermès.

Different Hermès Herbag Styles

When people talk about the Hermès Herbag, the Herbag Zip is usually the one that gets all the attention. It’s sleek, structured, and has that signature strap closure that gives it a polished look. But what a lot of people don’t realize is—there’s actually more to the Herbag line than just the Zip.

If you’re someone who prefers to keep your hands free, the Herbag Backpack is a great option. It keeps the same elegant style but adds practicality, making it perfect for running errands, commuting, or even travel.

And then there’s the Herbag Cabas, a roomier, more relaxed version that’s ideal when you need to carry more than just the basics. Whether you’re heading to work or spending the day out, the Cabas gives you that extra space without sacrificing style.

Herbag Color Recommendations

One of the coolest things about the Hermès Herbag is how many color combos it comes in. As one of the rare Hermès bags that allows for a “face swap”—meaning the canvas body can be interchanged—the Herbag truly embraces bold and diverse color pairings.

Deep Blue + Black

The combination of deep blue and black leather gives off a quiet, elevated vibe. It’s more layered than all-black and more practical than lighter shades, a go-to choice for many professional women and stylish city men.

Style keywords: intelligent, calm, low-key

Orange + Brown

Hermès’s signature orange paired with warm brown leather strikes the perfect balance between brand identity and everyday wearability. It’s a great pick for vintage lovers and color enthusiasts, adding a touch of French charm and energy to any look.

Style keywords: vibrant, retro, Hermès spirit

These deeper tones highlight the Herbag’s elegance while complementing the season’s layered looks.

Hermes Herbag Special Editions

Whether you’re into tonal bags, where the top and body match or you want to make a statement with bicolor, tricolor, or even quadricolour versions there’s something for every style.

On top of the classic solid color options, Hermès also releases limited edition Herbags with fun and unique designs. Some of these include special pieces like the Pegase Pop Herbag Zip and the H Vibration Herbag Zip.

These exclusive designs tend to sell out fast, so if you spot one, you’ll need to act quickly before they’re gone!

Is Hermès Herbag Hard to Get?

The Herbag isn’t a quota bag, so it’s generally easier to get. But that doesn’t mean it’s always available, especially the Herbag 20, which is newer and popular right now. That size can be pretty hard to find due to high demand.

Other sizes are usually a bit easier to get. If you keep an eye on the Hermès website, they do pop up from time to time. And if you already have a good relationship with a Sales Associate, getting a Herbag shouldn’t be a difficult task.

Hermes Herbag Price

In 2024, the Herbag 31 was priced at $3,050, and the Herbag 39 was $3,300 at Hermès boutiques. The Herbag Mini was a bit cheaper at $2,800.

But, the Herbag did see a price hike in 2025. For example, the Herbag Zip Cabine jumped from $4,150 to $4,675, which is a 12.7% increase.

Additionally, starting from May 1, 2025, the prices increase again:

Mini Herbag 20 goes from $2,900 to $3,190.
Herbag 31 increases from $3,225 to $3,548.

Bag Style	2024 Price ($)	2025 Retail Price ($)	Price After May 1, 2025 ($)
Mini Herbag 20	$2,800	$2,900	$3,190
Herbag 31	$3,050	$3,225	$3,548
Herbag 39	$3,300	–	–
Herbag Zip Cabine	$4,150	$4,675	–

On top of that, with Herbag’s rising popularity, resale prices are also climbing. If you’re looking for the Herbag 20, be prepared to pay at least an extra $1,500 premium on the preloved market.

The Herbag is a little more affordable than other Hermès bags because it’s only partially made of leather, unlike all-leather bags.

Still, some people feel like spending thousands on a canvas bag doesn’t make a ton of sense and that’s when replica bags start to look tempting.
