DISCLAIMER: This is a personal review of a bag based on a very personal life style. Mine. I am not a fashion vlogger or a fashion consultant. I don’t seek to be objective and product centric. Because this is a recreational personal vlog. My hope is that my personal experiences of items discussed can contribute to your considerations of what might be best for you and your unique personal life style.
Oh dear I was thinking of getting one secondhand as I really like that you can change the size of the bag as the handle is interchangeable but after watching your video I am having second thoughts. Thank you for the video, very informative.
Others disagree though. So please do check out what others think. Maybe it is just how I use my bags. My life style is as such that I usually go in and out of my bag as I walk. Thank you for watching!
funny enough, before watching your video I also thought this bag to be too impractical for everyday use; however, I actually think that for a work backpack, where I'm not needing to reach in during my commute, this would actually be useful.
Yes. It can work better as a backpack which this is convertible to. But once again, it needs to be one that you don’t get in and out of too often or while on the go. Personally I only carry backpacks that are waterproof, light, large, and easily get in and out of while I walk without stopping. So this doesn’t work for me that way either. BUT it can work for so many others!
Thanks for watching! Because I am selling this, I really should talk it up! But I have to be honest about why I am selling it. It is a good bag in a good condition, it just doesn’t work for me for these reasons!
the hole is for the lock, it goes on the top of the other strap. This bag is meant to be use with the strap on your shoulder. It is 'easier' to open and close when it is on your shoulder.
I carried it on my shoulder…. Do you mean it is easier when the leather flap is used to close the bag without strapping? I tried that, but then the flap staying closed is heavily depended on one tiny point on the leather “hole” opening on the flap resulting in that part of the leather to chip. Could you explain a bit more how the hole on the strap can lock the bag? Or have I misunderstood that completely?
@@OrangeIsTheNewBag I meant it's easier but a hassle to open and close. I've seen people leaving it open while using.the salespeople told me to open and close while it's on my shoulder. The leather flap will always be chipped. It was how it designed.mine has it too. The lock prevents the strap from releasing and open the flap.
Well you made a meal of closing the bag! I have no issues at all. In fact it’s one of my more secure bags I have especially while walking round London.
@@456sammy1 Good for you! I am glad there are many people loving this bag because I AM SELLING IT and I need interested buyers! Of course I made a meal of closing the bag. Didn’t you hear what I said about why this doesn’t work for me?
This bag seems to work for many others. For example as a computer and file bag. This way they carry from home to work and only unpack at work. But this is too small for that. And I simply don’t carry bags that way.
😅 Personally, I think people put up with it because it is a Hermes and it reminds a lot of people of the Kelly bag. That isn’t to say this is a bad bag at all.
@@TC-fq7cy Single grain natural leather sadly tend to be on the heavier side. This is relatively light because of the canvas. But you are right. It seems to be modelled after the Kelly and that’s not a shoulder bag. So the shape to me is awkward carried that way. Maybe that’s why it feels bulky to you? I am not sure. Combined with the closure this is definitely not for me and I am selling it. But others have made it work well for them. So who knows! 😅

That bag is not functional, too many steps, I want to open and close it without having to do many steps and let's not talk about the price.
This bag seems to work for many others. For example as a computer and file bag. This way they carry from home to work and only unpack at work. But this is too small for that. And I simply don’t carry bags that way.
I also struggle to close and open the bag. hehehe

That’s most of Hermes bags.
@@BrighterThanYours Some. Not most.
I love this Herbag with natural vachette leather but I found that this bag is too heavy and too bulky.
