First off, the Herbag. Discontinued, then BAM! Back in 2009 as the Herbag Zip. It’s basically the Kelly’s kinda younger, slightly more, um, affordable cousin. Not *cheap*, mind you. It’s still Hermès, so we’re talking serious $$$.
What’s the deal with the “Zip” part? Well, that’s the clue, innit? They slapped a zipper on it. Specifically, a back pocket – super handy! And also, a removable interior pouch. Because let’s be real, who wants all their stuff just bouncing around in a bag? Chaos, I tell ya!
Now, the Guangzhou bit… I found some random text about Guangzhou postal codes alongside Herbag mentions. I’m thinking, maybe there’s a Hermès boutique there? Or maybe someone in Guangzhou just *really* likes Herbags and they’re searching online… idk, it’s a leap. But hey, gotta connect the dots somehow, right?
The original Herbag was apparently inspired by the Kelly, but it’s definitely got its own thing going on. Canvas and leather, a bit more casual. It’s got that Hermès craftsmanship, the “hand-shaped material” and all that jazz, but it’s not as, like, *intimidating* as a Birkin. You can almost…dare I say…actually *use* it without feeling like you’re committing a fashion crime.
They say it’s been updated with “seasonal design elements.” Which basically means they change the colors and maybe slap a print on it. But hey, that’s fashion, right? Gotta keep things fresh.
Honestly, I always thought the Herbag was kinda underrated. It’s a solid entry-level Hermès piece (if there *is* such a thing). It’s not gonna break the bank (relatively speaking) and you still get to flash that iconic “H.” Plus, that canvas makes it a little more low-key, perfect for not looking like you’re trying too hard, even though you *totally* are. Lol.
